Historical context and digital transformation in serving the Two Holy Mosques

Historically, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has undertaken the responsibility of serving the Two Holy Mosques and disseminating the tolerant message of Islam, based on moderation and balance. With the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, digital transformation has emerged as a fundamental pillar for developing services provided to Muslims worldwide. In this context, the establishment of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques as an independent body to enhance the outreach and guidance aspects of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque is a natural extension of this historical approach. The Two Holy Mosques Platform for the Sciences of the Two Revelations is a natural extension of this historical direction, combining the authenticity of the religious message with modern technological means, thus facilitating the delivery of the sciences of the Holy Quran and the Prophet's Sunnah to millions of Muslims across the globe, transcending the barriers of time and place.

Objectives of the Haramain Platform for Revelation Sciences and the National Fellowship

The new platform aims to empower participating entities to offer innovative educational approaches that leverage technology to disseminate knowledge. The initiative focuses on developing high-quality programs dedicated to spreading the sciences of the Holy Quran and the Prophet's Sunnah, while fostering intellectual awareness through modern methods that keep pace with the digital transformation. This is achieved through a suite of educational and training programs that produce reliable knowledge content and reinforce the values ​​of moderation.

On the other hand, the National Fellowship Program for Intellectual Awareness is one of the most important outcomes of this partnership. It is an intensive, specialized professional program designed specifically to prepare qualified national cadres. These graduates will be able to analyze intellectual discourse, deconstruct misconceptions, and design impactful and measurable awareness initiatives, thus ensuring a sustainable societal impact that is grounded in awareness, methodology, and practical tools.

Expected impact: locally, regionally, and internationally

This strategic project has multifaceted impacts. Locally, the program contributes to protecting society and youth from intellectual deviations and building a generation that is conscious and balanced in thought and behavior. Regionally and internationally, the platform aims to promote the Saudi model of tolerance and moderation. In his review of the achievements report, Mr. Talal bin Awad Al-Koud, CEO of Administrative Solutions Company, explained that the first phase of the project targets reaching 100,000 non-Arabic speakers worldwide. This figure reflects the initiative's global ambition to disseminate the values ​​of Islam and cultivate intellectual awareness globally.

The vision of leaders and the integration of efforts to serve humanity

Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sudais affirmed that launching this digital educational system, in partnership with the leading Saudi Electronic University in the field of digital education, represents a qualitative step that reinforces the Kingdom's mission of disseminating the values ​​of moderation and tolerance, and solidifies its leadership in serving the Two Holy Mosques. He pointed out that the program aims to equip participants to understand and scientifically analyze intellectual phenomena, and to develop the ability to address deviant discourse according to a sound Sharia methodology.
