Ramadan 1447 Plan at the Two Holy Mosques: Launch Details and New Services
The General Presidency for Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina is preparing to launch its operational plan for the holy month of Ramadan 1447 AH next Thursday at its headquarters. This event, held under the patronage and in the presence of the President of the Presidency, Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz Al-Sudais, will unveil the strategic features and development initiatives the Presidency will adopt to serve pilgrims to the Two Holy Mosques during the blessed month.
Launch details and development paths
The upcoming ceremony aims to showcase a comprehensive range of enrichment programs and new religious initiatives, designed to ensure a complete and holistic religious experience that meets the highest international standards. This year's operational plan seeks to bring about a qualitative leap in the religious services system by focusing on the integration of services provided to millions of pilgrims and clarifying the implementation mechanisms for outreach and guidance programs.
General context and strategic importance
This early announcement of the Ramadan 1447 AH plan comes within the framework of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's steadfast strategy of caring for the Two Holy Mosques and their visitors. Since the decision to establish an independent Presidency for Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, its role has grown significantly, focusing on spiritual, scholarly, and guidance aspects, and separating them organizationally from purely operational and service-related matters. This enhances the effectiveness of the religious message and deepens the spiritual impact on visitors.
This year's plan is of particular importance given the continuous increase in the number of pilgrims and visitors, in line with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which seeks to facilitate the hosting of millions of Muslims from around the world. Therefore, early and proactive preparation is a fundamental pillar for avoiding any operational challenges and ensuring the smooth flow of movement and the performance of rituals in an atmosphere of tranquility and reverence.
Digital transformation and the use of technology
The new plan is expected to see a significant expansion in the use of technology and artificial intelligence to serve visitors. In previous seasons, the Presidency has consistently launched digital platforms and smart applications to facilitate access to religious rulings (fatwas), schedules of religious lessons, and Quran memorization sessions. The events will include a comprehensive presentation of educational and enrichment programs specifically designed for the 1447 AH season, reflecting the Presidency's commitment to optimally utilizing qualified personnel and modern technologies to convey the moderate message of the Two Holy Mosques globally and in various languages.
A reverent and devotional environment and a global impact
The plan's developers aim to enhance the direct spiritual impact on visitors' lives by creating a serene and organized environment for worship that can efficiently accommodate the anticipated large crowds. The inauguration ceremony will be attended by prominent religious leaders and officials, reflecting the utmost importance the wise leadership places on serving the Two Holy Mosques during major religious seasons.
The Presidency is concluding its preparations for launching this event, which represents a comprehensive roadmap for the work of the religious system during the thirty busiest and most spiritual days of the year, affirming its commitment to adopting a methodology of continuous development to serve Islam and Muslims.
