The Prophet's Mosque welcomes pilgrims with an integrated system of services
welcomed The Prophet's Mosque pilgrims returning from the holy sites after performing Hajj this year. This was made possible through a comprehensive operational and service system implemented by the General Authority for the Care of the Prophet's Mosque, in cooperation with various relevant governmental and security agencies, to enable pilgrims to perform prayers and visit the mosque in an atmosphere of security, safety, tranquility, and reverence.
Pioneering organizational plans to facilitate crowd movement in the Prophet's Mosque
The Prophet's Mosque and its outer courtyards witnessed a smooth flow of crowds and visitors, supported by advanced organizational and field plans that facilitated entry and exit. The human density was efficiently distributed through the corridors and entrances designated for men and women, in addition to organizing access to the Rawdah Ash-Sharifah (the area between the Prophet's grave and his pulpit) via the "Nusk" application, ensuring the comfort of worshippers and enhancing the quality of services provided to them. Furthermore, electronic information screens and digital services were activated in several languages to guide visitors and facilitate their movement within the mosque's premises.
Medina: The second spiritual stop on the historic Hajj journey
Historically, visiting Medina and the Prophet's Mosque is deeply intertwined with the Hajj pilgrimage for Muslims from all corners of the earth. Although visiting the Prophet's Mosque is not a pillar of Hajj, pilgrims are keen to come to Medina before or after Hajj to pray in the Prophet's Mosque, offer their greetings to him and his two companions (may God be pleased with them), and pray in the Rawdah al-Sharifah (the area between the Prophet's grave and his pulpit), which the Prophet described as "a garden from the gardens of Paradise." For decades, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been working to develop the Two Holy Mosques and expand their courtyards to accommodate the increasing number of pilgrims each year, in line with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to enrich the religious and cultural experience of the pilgrims.
Local and international impact of water supply and comprehensive care services
Both domestically and internationally, the successful organization of the post-Hajj phase reflects the Kingdom's exceptional ability to manage large crowds and provide a globally recognized model in the logistics and religious services sector. Field teams at the Prophet's Mosque continue their round-the-clock work to provide Zamzam water, distributing thousands of dispensers and portable water bags throughout the mosque. Services also include programs designed to support the elderly and people with disabilities by providing wheelchairs and accessible pathways, ensuring they can perform their rituals with ease. This meticulous attention leaves a positive impression on millions of pilgrims who carry this unique spiritual experience back to their home countries, further enhancing the Kingdom's positive image in serving Islam and Muslims.
