The honor comes as part of the IACAD\u2019s initiative to recognize those who contribute to building the Houses of God in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>This tribute reflects the Al Gurg family\u2019s long-standing legacy in serving the community, as the family has supported the construction of mosques across the emirate of Dubai for many years. Their efforts stem from a belief in the mosque\u2019s central role as a spiritual, social, and cultural hub for the community. The Department emphasized that honoring donors acknowledges their role in making mosque-building a lasting charitable endowment, embodying the deeply rooted values of generosity and giving in Emirati society.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the Al Gurg family has built five mosques across Dubai\u2014in Al Karama, Al Barsha, Muhaisnah, Al Warqa, and Al Jafiliya\u2014collectively accommodating more than 5,000 worshippers. A new mosque is currently under construction in Al Safa, affirming the continuation of this blessed charitable path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1476,"parent":0,"template":"","news-categories":[14],"class_list":["post-1475","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-categories-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
