Mecca And Medina Mosques to Host 10.000 for Itikaf

The Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina are set to host 10,000 worshippers for Itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. This sacred practice allows Muslims to dedicate themselves to prayer, worship, and spiritual reflection in complete seclusion within the holiest mosques in Islam. Saudi authorities have meticulously planned this year’s Itikaf arrangements to ensure a seamless and peaceful experience for all participants. Registration for the limited slots was conducted online, allowing worshippers to secure their place while ensuring an organized system of accommodation. Specially designated areas within both mosques have been allocated for Itikaf, with necessary facilities such as lockers for personal belongings, access to religious materials, and proper sanitation measures.

The authorities have implemented strict rules to maintain cleanliness and discipline, ensuring an uninterrupted environment for worship. To facilitate the influx of worshippers, additional staff and volunteers have been deployed to manage the logistics and provide assistance when required. Security measures have also been enhanced to maintain order and protect the sanctity of the holy sites. Saudi Arabia remains committed to offering a spiritually enriching experience for Muslims worldwide. By incorporating advanced planning, strict regulations, and a focus on hospitality, the Kingdom continues to uphold its dedication to serving the millions who visit the Two Holy Mosques during Ramadan.
