RIYADH — The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawa, and Guidance revealed that a total of 347,646 individuals have embraced Islam over the past five years.

This achievement was facilitated by the Ministry's 423 foreign preachers and 457 Dawah societies spread across various regions of the Kingdom.

The Ministry's report indicates a consistent increase in conversions, with 21,654 in 2019, escalating to 163,319 in the last year.
