Nine Filipinos in Baha embrace Islam

Nine Filipino men and women in Baha embraced Islam during a function at Bani Sar Mosque in the city following Juma prayer on Friday.
Dr. Abdullah Makhayesh, imam of the mosque, helped the new Muslims recite the Shahada that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Prophet.
Farraj bin Abdullah Al-Zahrani, director of the Dawa Center in Bani Sar, said the newly converted Filipinos would be admitted to the Shariah Institute for Expatriate Communities to help them learn more about Islam.
“More than 450 expatriate workers currently benefit from the institute’s programs,” Al-Zahrani said. He disclosed the center’s plan to conduct a number of Islamic programs to enlighten both Saudis and expatriates.
