The importance of the breakfast meal in the Prophet's Mosque
The iftar meals provided at the Prophet's Mosque in Medina are among the largest Ramadan meals in the world, representing a cultural and spiritual phenomenon that reflects the values of solidarity and compassion within the Muslim community. These meals are of paramount importance due to the millions of visitors and pilgrims who flock to Medina during the holy month. The impact extends beyond the religious and spiritual realms to encompass organizational and social aspects, as official and public efforts combine to provide millions of meals daily according to the highest standards of quality and food safety.
Digital organization and collaboration with the Ihsan platform
In a move reflecting technological advancements in managing the affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, a collaboration with the "Ihsan" platform and the "Nusuk" Foundation has been established to ensure the efficient governance of charitable work and its delivery to those in need. This digital transformation facilitates procedures for donors and service providers while simultaneously guaranteeing adherence to strict health and regulatory requirements within the Prophet's Mosque and its courtyards, thus preventing food waste and preserving the cleanliness and sanctity of the place.

The authority urged all applicants, whether individuals or charitable organizations, to carefully review the terms and conditions available on its website before submitting their applications. Key requirements include the price of the meal being provided by the catering company, the precise location of the dining area, and the completion of payment and submission of required information via the designated service link. The authority emphasized the importance of adhering to the permitted types of meals and the established distribution and removal procedures, ensuring a swift response before the prayer service begins, to guarantee the smooth flow of worshippers and visitors.
