The services performed by the Religious Affairs Directorate were classified into two main categories: the services outside mosque and the services inside mosque. The services inside mosque consist ofpraying and sermon. The services outside mosque consist of hajjumrah organizations, fatwa, guidance to Islam, Quran courses and funeral services. Aside from these services, social and cultural activities such as television programs, conferences, panels, and symposiums are among the services offered outside mosque.
