In Makkah, Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, the head of the Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, has urged worshippers to adhere to crowd management guidelines issued by authorities.

This call comes as millions gather during the holy month of Ramadan, particularly in the last ten nights, which are considered highly significant in Islamic tradition.

Al-Sudais emphasized the importance of avoiding congestion and complying with the established guidelines to ensure the safety and security of all visitors during this busy period.

Speaking after the Isha prayer at the Grand Mosque, Al-Sudais highlighted the importance of Laylat Al-Qadr, a night believed by Muslims to hold immense spiritual significance.

He encouraged worshippers to seize the opportunity for good deeds and to reflect on the importance of these nights.

The Sheikh commended the leadership of Saudi Arabia for their ongoing commitment to the maintenance of the Two Holy Mosques and the extensive services provided to accommodate visitors from around the world.

The announcement underlines the continued efforts of Makkah authorities to ensure a safe and organized experience for worshippers, especially during one of the busiest times of the Islamic calendar.
