The Deputy Minister of Hajj and Religious Affairs told TOLOnews that considering the current circumstances, specific topics are selected by the ministry each week and sent to mosques so that citizens become aware of them.
Arifullah Arif, the Deputy Minister of Finance and Administration of this ministry, added that religious scholars play an influential role in informing citizens about the truths and history of Islam.
The Deputy Minister of Finance and Administration of the Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs said: "For every significant occasion, such as the days of Ramadan and Hajj, we provide relevant topics according to the day. It is beneficial for Muslims to be mindful of these days and act accordingly."
Arifullah Arif emphasized that the ministry does not face a shortage of religious scholars and is striving to enhance the academic capacity of religious scholars.
At the same time, some religious scholars also consider the role of pulpits and mosques as important for raising the level of religious and social awareness among the citizens of the country.
"This very pulpit and mosque were, during the time of the Prophet (PBUH), the place of the Ministry of Interior, Foreign Affairs, and the leadership of nations toward religion and the world. Therefore, it is clear that the pulpits of mosques and scholars have a prominent role in enlightening and reforming society," Abdul Salam Mutawakil, a religious scholar, told TOLOnews.
The country's citizens also consider the presence of religious scholars in society to be important.
"The role of scholars is important because they show the people the path of religion, as many people have not attended school and are illiterate," Mahmood Shah, a resident of Kabul, told TOLOnews.
The Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs has also stated that religious scholars should clearly convey the selected topics to the citizens so that they can apply them in their daily activities.
