The Ministry of Religious Affairs (Bengali: ধর্ম বিষয়ক মন্ত্রণালয়) (abbreviated as MoRA) is the ministry responsible for religious events, buildings, and Hajj in Bangladesh.

History

The ministry is responsible for the management of Hajj and Umrah in Bangladesh.Biswa Ijtema is also managed by the ministry. The ministry gained some attention after using Arabic script to discourage public urination; since few Bangladeshis understand Arabic, anything written in Arabic is presumed to be sacred and not to be urinated on.
