Speaking to Khaleej Times, Dr Mohammed Matter Al Kaabi, director-general of the authority, said that as per the new system, the candidates would now have to choose one out of 10 small boxes, which will have questions covering three different parts of the Holy Quran. Applicants are to randomly select a question and answer it, Al Kaabi said.
The applicants are expected to have competence in oratory and they must have memorised the Holy Quran in full. Most of the applicants who failed the previous tests were either found lacking in oratory skills or had not accurately recited the Holy Quran in full, Al Kaabi pointed out.
All applicants for the position of imam should have a bachelor’s degree in Shariah (Islamic Studies) and the degree should be accredited by the UAE’s Ministry of Higher Education. However, those who have memorised the Holy Quran in full are excluded from the condition of the bachelor degree.
