In a remarkable gesture of Islamic solidarity and hospitality, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has issued a royal directive to host 1,300 pilgrims from across the globe for Hajj 2025. The initiative, part of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Guests Program, is overseen by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, reported the Madhyamam.
Dr. Abdullatif bin Abdulaziz Al-Sheikh, Minister of Islamic Affairs and General Supervisor of the program, announced that the selected pilgrims will come from over 100 countries representing different continents and cultures. The initiative not only reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to serving Islam and Muslims but also aims to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood among Muslims worldwide.
Under this generous program, the pilgrims will be provided comprehensive services including accommodation, transportation, and health care to ensure they perform their religious rites with ease and comfort. Since its inception, the program has hosted more than 60,000 pilgrims.
This move highlights Saudi Arabia’s role as a central hub in uniting the global Muslim community and its continued efforts to facilitate Hajj and Umrah services with excellence.
