Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has launched a digital ‘New Muslim’ card service for people embracing Islam, marking a new step in the Kingdom’s digital transformation drive under Saudi Vision 2030.

The service was launched by Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance Sheikh Dr Abdullatif Al Alsheikh at the ministry’s headquarters as part of efforts to enhance digital government services and improve the quality of services provided to beneficiaries.
