Arab News
In a heartwarming display of Saudi Arabia’s dedication to Islam and Muslims, beneficiaries of the Guests of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program for Hajj, Umrah, and Visitation have expressed their gratitude for the invitation to perform Hajj, citing it as the best evidence of the Kingdom’s care and concern, as reported by SPA.
The guests emphasized that Saudi Arabia’s hosting of Hajj goes beyond mere hospitality, extending to a profound humanitarian commitment to all Muslims.
Mustafa Yusuf, secretary-general of the Islamic Society of Vietnam, praised the Kingdom’s efforts, stating, “It is no secret that the Kingdom is making great services for the comfort of the guests of God and meeting their needs. These are tangible efforts with an honorable history, and they are not limited to serving pilgrims or the feelings only, but rather they extend to include Makkah and Madinah.”
He further added, “the Kingdom’s generosity continues to overcome all obstacles for Muslims to perform rituals with ease and reassurance.”
Launched by King Salman in 2019 as part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the Guests of God Service Program aims to provide top-notch services to pilgrims, utilizing advanced technology to enhance their cultural and spiritual experience, and ensure their safe return to their home countries after completing their rituals.
One of the beneficiaries, Haji Murad from Uzbekistan, lauded the initiative as a commendable humanitarian program and expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call, and Guidance for implementing the initiative in a distinguished manner.
Abdul Wali Abdul Baqi, a guest from Uzbekistan and a correspondent on Uzbek state television, expressed his joy at being able to participate in Hajj as part of the program, saying, “Praise be to God who made it possible for me to visit this country in order to perform Hajj with the convoy of guests of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and I was very happy when I saw the Holy Kaaba.”
