Religious sermons on knowledge in Saudi Arabia

Overview

Friday sermons at Al-Masjid al-Haram and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi have continued to focus on the central role of knowledge, moral upbringing, and the societal responsibilities of educators.

At Al-Masjid al-Haram, Imam Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Awad Al-Juhani has emphasized that knowledge must precede action to ensure deeds align with Sharia principles. Describing religious scholars as “heirs of the prophets,” he noted that supporting scientific advancement is a core part of Saudi Arabia’s strategy to build a knowledge-based society for sustainable development. He also urged parents and teachers to serve as moral role models, specifically calling on parents to instill honesty, good character, and a love for prayer in their children.

At Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, recent sermons have expanded on the mission of education. Sheikh Dr. Ali bin Abdulrahman Al-Huzaifi previously described knowledge as a tool to enlighten minds and encourage youth to pursue specialized fields like medicine and engineering. Building on this, Sheikh Dr. Abdulbari bin Awad Al-Thubaiti emphasized that education must extend beyond knowledge transfer to include instilling values and preparing generations to serve the nation. Al-Thubaiti highlighted the responsibility of teachers to nurture souls and serve as role models through justice and mercy, calling on media and society to elevate the status of science and respect teachers as partners in building the future.
