Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has extended a special invitation to 1,300 Muslims from 100 countries to perform Hajj as honored guests of the Saudi government.
The initiative is being implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. Minister Sheikh Dr. Abdullatif Al Al-Sheikh stated that this program reflects Saudi leadership’s deep sense of responsibility toward the global Islamic community.
Comprehensive arrangements have been made to provide top-tier services for the guests. The program includes religious and educational activities, visits to historical sites in Makkah and Madinah, and meetings with prominent scholars.
The main objective of this initiative is to strengthen ties with religious leaders, scholars, and thinkers from around the world, while promoting the message of Islam.
Launched in 1417 Hijri (1996), the program has so far hosted nearly 65,000 pilgrims from 140 countries.
The minister added that during Hajj, the Saudi government ensures full support for its guests, including religious guidance, healthcare, and transportation. This initiative also contributes significantly to the Islamic and humanitarian goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
