The Prophet's Mosque is preparing to receive worshippers on Friday with comprehensive services
The General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques announced the completion of all preparations and the provision of a comprehensive system of high-quality services at the Prophet's Mosque in Medina to welcome the large numbers of worshippers and visitors arriving for Friday prayers. This step comes as part of the ongoing commitment to providing a spiritually uplifting and tranquil atmosphere, ensuring the smooth flow of movement and facilitating the performance of religious rites within the precincts of the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him).
Advanced field equipment and logistics services
The Authority's field teams worked at full capacity to prepare prayer areas within the Prophet's Mosque, in the outer courtyards, and on the mosque's roof. These preparations included laying luxurious carpets and intensifying cleaning and sanitization procedures using the latest environmentally friendly technologies to ensure the safety of worshippers. The readiness of all service facilities, including restrooms and ablution areas, was also verified, and they were fully stocked with necessary supplies.
On the water supply side, the authority doubled the quantities of blessed Zamzam water distributed through chilled containers and drinking fountains spread throughout the area, in addition to mobile carts to distribute water to worshippers in the rows and courtyards, to ensure that the blessed water reaches everyone easily and conveniently.
Special care for the elderly and people with disabilities
The operational plan for Friday paid particular attention to those requiring special care, allocating specific and equipped pathways to facilitate the movement of the elderly and people with disabilities. The authority also provided additional electric and manual wheelchairs, along with volunteer teams and specialized staff to offer assistance and guidance, reflecting the values of compassion and solidarity encouraged by our noble religion.
Ideal environment and smart systems
To ensure the thermal comfort of worshippers, engineering teams oversaw the operation of the Prophet's Mosque's state-of-the-art air conditioning systems, one of the largest air conditioning projects in the world, to regulate temperatures according to the number of people present. Lighting and sound systems were also monitored to guarantee high-quality broadcasts and clear transmission of the sermon throughout the mosque and its surrounding courtyards.
Religious status and governmental attention
The Prophet's Mosque holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims, being the second holiest site in Islam and the final resting place of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This makes the weekly gathering there on Fridays a momentous event that unites Muslims from all corners of the earth. This great attention from the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques reflects the unwavering commitment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, both its leadership and its people, to serving the pilgrims. This aligns with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which prioritizes serving Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and visitors, dedicating all available human, material, and technological resources to ensure an unforgettable spiritual experience.
