Over 3,600 people embraced Islam in Dubai in the first half of 2025, according to a report.

The Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Islamic Culture, which comes under the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) in the city, witnessed a rise in people converting to Islam between January and June 2025, during which more than 3,600 people embraced the religion, Times of India reported.

Alongside the conversions, the Centre registered over 1,300 students in its educational programmes, which are designed to provide structured lessons on Islamic beliefs and practices.

The Centre also organised 47 knowledge and awareness courses, benefiting over 1,400 people. These sessions were part of IACAD’s main efforts to promote Islamic culture and increase religious awareness in the region.

Another notable outreach effort, the “Sustainable Knowledge Room," served more than 190 beneficiaries. This learning space was created to make education more engaging through interactive and technology-based tools.

The Centre’s Director, Jassim Al Khazraji, emphasised that the institution’s mission goes beyond education, aiming also to foster intercultural dialogue.

“We work within a comprehensive vision aimed at building bridges of cultural and religious communication and presenting a bright image of Islam based on tolerance, knowledge, and dialogue, grounded in well-studied academic standards that meet the needs of new converts and those interested in Islamic culture alike," TOI quoted Khazraji as saying.
