  • The BARAKAH Pit Stop initiative expands the role of mosques beyond worship by providing rest areas, food and assistance.
  • The programme supports e-hailing drivers and p-hailing riders, who spend much of their time on the road.

Mosques are taking on a wider role in community life through BARAKAH Pit Stop, an initiative that offers e-hailing drivers and p-hailing riders a place to rest, eat and seek support.

The programme presents mosques as more than places of worship. It uses the institutions as a channel for religious outreach and welfare services that connect directly with the daily lives of riders.

The initiative particularly targets workers who spend part of their day on the road, offering them practical support through a familiar community institution.
