Grand Mosque Enhances 'Walyatawafu' Initiative With National Volunteers For Hajj 1445

The Presidency of Religious Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has bolstered the "Walyatawafu" initiative at the Grand Mosque with nationally trained volunteers. This move aligns with the presidency's plan for the Hajj season 1445 AH. As pilgrims gather at the Grand Mosque for Friday prayers, the initiative aims to create a worshipful atmosphere and enhance volunteer tasks.

The initiative's primary goal is to support qualified volunteer circumambulators. These volunteers guide pilgrims at the Grand Mosque, assisting them in performing their rituals in a secure environment filled with humility and tranquillity, following the Prophet's guidance. The Presidency of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque in Makkah has reinforced Tawaf management with numerous qualified volunteers working around the clock.

These volunteers are prepared to accommodate an expected influx of one million pilgrims to the Grand Mosque. The presidency oversees administrative tasks related to circumambulation, monitors their execution, and directly supervises them within the mosque. Additionally, it ensures that volunteers guide pilgrims to follow the Sunnah in performing rituals and adhere to prescribed supplications and traditions during Tawaf and Saie.

The initiative also encourages volunteers to exhibit good conduct, showcasing Islam's moderate and merciful aspects. This effort reflects positively on Saudi Arabia and its citizens as servants of the Two Holy Mosques, highlighting their dedication to serving holy sites and pilgrims.
