President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Minister of Awqaf (Religious Endowments) Osama Al-Azhari to discuss strategies for countering extremist ideologies and promoting societal values.
During the meeting, Minister Al-Azhari presented updates on the ministry's digital transformation efforts. These include the recent opening of the Ministry of Awqaf's Artificial Intelligence Centre and a digital platform featuring around 80,000 pages of verified religious content. Plans are also underway to release an AI-generated audio version of the platform.
The discussions covered preparations for upcoming public engagement campaigns, such as the second season of the State of Recitation initiative and the second phase of the Correct Your Concepts initiative. Officials also reviewed digital measures to widen youth access to the weekly Friday sermon.
Addressing broader institutional goals, President El-Sisi emphasized the revival of endowments to support sustainable development and modern state needs. He instructed officials to advance a legal framework designed to encourage educational and healthcare endowments.
Finally, President El-Sisi directed the creation of an integrated national public awareness system. This network will connect religious institutions, schools, universities, and other educational bodies to standardize ethical and educational messaging across the country.
