The Department of Islamic Studies has established several reform centers in the country, where the Rashad Center was opened in the Central Prison in 1404 AH - 1985 CE, the Al-Hidaya Center in the Public Prison in 1422 AH - 2001 CE, and the Social Assessment Center was recently opened in the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor in the year 1422 AH - 2001 CE.
These centers are considered the most important institutions working in the process of behavioral change for perpetrators of moral crimes, and the motive behind the establishment of these centers was the serious contribution with state institutions in the reform process in society, and this role comes as the missionary message that the ministry carried in spreading religious awareness and legal education for all Different groups of society, and those with insightful minds do not conceal the importance of the role of the Noble Qur’an in evaluating behavior and reforming oneself, which changed society’s perception of this group that made a mistake in a moment of time and then regretted what I did.
The Ministry is also proud of this reformist achievement, as dozens of those who memorized the Noble Qur’an have graduated from these reform centers and learned the importance of its Sharia sciences and the rules of the Arabic language, as they became righteous role models in themselves reforming to others and this is from the grace of God Almighty and then with what these reform centers have produced, as these roles have become A radiation and light center to occupy the prisoner's spare time with what is beneficial to his religion and world, so that his morals are promoted and he becomes a useful and active element in society.
