Amidst a spiritual and faithful atmosphere, more than fifteen thousand Druze clerics participated on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in the annual religious ceremonies of the pilgrimage to the shrine of our Master Prophet Shu'ayb (PBUH) in Hittin.
During his speech to the attendees, His Eminence Sheikh Muafaq Tarif, the Spiritual Leader of the Druze Community, addressed various communal topics.
His Eminence also shared the joyous news of the announcement regarding the establishment of a Tawhidic (monotheistic) religious school, which is expected to open on the first of next September with the new academic year. It will be a growing school starting with two sections for seventh and tenth grades, in line with the needs of religious male and female students.
He stated that the school will begin its operations temporarily from the shrine of our Master Al-Khadr (PBUH) in Kafr Yasif, until the construction is completed between Yarka, Julis, and Abu Sinan, to be followed by other branches in the Upper Galilee, the Carmel, the Shagor, and the Golan.
With the announcement of the news, the attendees blessed this important project, led by our venerable Sheikh Abu Yusuf Saleh Qadmani, who prayed for His Eminence and those working on the project for continued success.
Among the prominent well-wishers present were our venerable Sheikh Abu Ali Hussein Halabi, the sheikhs of the Golan Heights, the custodians of the prayer houses (khalwat), and the judges of the Druze Religious Court.
The residents of the Galilean village of Yanuh honored themselves this year with the duty of generous hospitality for the gathering of pilgrims, amidst prayers from the sheikhs for increased blessings and reward.
It is noted that the prayers continued until dawn on Thursday, April 25; the official day of the pilgrimage.
