The Minister of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Places, Dr. Mohammad Al-Khalaileh, inaugurated the Preaching and Guidance Forum, and the Free Charity and Medical Day, organized by the Ministry and the Zakat Fund in the Wadi Musa area of the Petra District.

Al-Khalaileh said that the Ministry is keen to translate the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II in serving needy and poor families, and enhancing social, productive, and developmental aspects in all regions of the Kingdom, stressing the importance of preaching and guidance forums in exchanging scientific and practical experiences to deliver the Ministry's message of calling to God with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and spreading the message of Islam's tolerance and moderate centrist discourse.

Al-Khalaileh added that a set of emergency aid was provided to those in need in the area, which included 500 food and clothing coupons and 300 food parcels, in addition to aid for about 50 students and aid for about 50 orphans, and reviewing the monthly salaries of beneficiaries in Wadi Musa.

Al-Khalaileh explained that restoration work will be carried out on a number of houses and new rehabilitation projects will be launched for needy families, alongside cooperation with administrative governors, the Petra Region Authority, and Zakat and Awqaf committees to introduce more rehabilitation projects.

Al-Khalaileh reiterated the Ministry's keenness to advance the status of mosques in the Petra District, as work will commence on building the new Wadi Musa Mosque in its new design and Al-Musalla Mosque, in addition to meeting the various needs of the region's mosques.

During the opening ceremony, held in the presence of Ma'an Governor Khaled Al-Hajjaj and a number of representatives of official and popular figures in Petra, Al-Khalaileh listened to the most prominent demands and needs of the region in the Awqaf sector, directing the study of the needs of poor and needy families regarding rehabilitation projects, house renovations, building homes, providing aid, and sponsoring orphans.
