The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance (Arabic: وزارة الشؤون الإسلامية والدعوة والإرشاد), at times shortened to Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA), is a government ministry in Saudi Arabia that is responsible for overseeing affairs pertaining to Islam as well as maintaining and regulating all mosques across the country.[1] Established in 1993, it also supervises the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur'an in Medina.[2]
The ministry's responsibilities include increasing the awareness of the good practice of Islam. The current[when?] minister, Abdullatif Al-Sheikh, was appointed in June 2018.[3] The ministry is also responsible for supporting the non-profit sector as it aims at increasing the sector's contribution to the gross domestic product from 0.3% to 0.6%.[4]
MOIA has a wide range of responsibilities, including overseeing mosques and Islamic centers, managing religious publications and media, supporting Islamic education, and promoting interfaith dialogue.[5]
