A Syrian pilgrim praises the Kingdom's efforts and the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Guests Program
Syria praises the Kingdom's humanitarian and fraternal stances
Syrian pilgrim Mahmoud al-Kuzbari praised the noble humanitarian and fraternal stances taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia towards the Syrian people in various forums and circumstances. Al-Kuzbari emphasized that these historic and ongoing support embodies the wise leadership of the Kingdom's commitment to serving Muslims and standing by them in all crises and circumstances, noting that Saudi Arabia has always been and remains a true supporter of Arab and Muslim nations.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Guests Program: Comprehensive Care
In detailing his spiritual experience, Al-Kuzbari, a guest of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Hajj, Umrah, and Visit Program, implemented and supervised by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, explained that what he experienced from the moment he arrived in the Kingdom to perform Hajj reflects the immense and exceptional care provided to the pilgrims. He added, "We were met with the utmost hospitality and welcome, comprehensive services, and great attention from the very first moments of our arrival." He pointed out that all the needs of the program's guests are met quickly and directly, noting that any request takes only a few minutes to fulfill, which reflects the great care and attention that the Kingdom and its wise leadership give to serving the guests of the House of God and providing them with every comfort.
The historical context of Saudi support for the Syrian people
These accolades come within a long history of unwavering Saudi support for the Syrian people. Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has consistently provided all forms of humanitarian and relief aid through its official channels, most notably the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center. This assistance has included providing shelter, healthcare, food security, and education to millions of Syrian refugees and internally displaced persons both within Syria and in neighboring countries. This humanitarian commitment stems from the Kingdom's deeply rooted Islamic and Arab principles of aiding those in distress and assisting those in need.
The regional and international impact of the Kingdom's efforts in Hajj
Regionally and internationally, the Kingdom's success in organizing the Hajj and hosting thousands of Muslims under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Guests Program is of paramount importance. It enhances Saudi Arabia's soft power and reaffirms its leadership in the Islamic world. These monumental efforts also reflect the Kingdom's exceptional logistical and organizational capabilities in managing millions of pilgrims, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to enrich the religious and cultural experience of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Presenting a distinguished model of service to Islam and Muslims contributes to strengthening Islamic solidarity and spreading the message of peace and moderation.
Meticulous organization and indescribable emotions
Al-Kuzbari described his feelings while within the precincts of the Holy Mosque as “very profound feelings that cannot be described in words,” emphasizing that his presence in the holiest of places constituted an exceptional and pivotal moment in his life, especially given the meticulous organization, comprehensive care, and continuous attention he witnessed and experienced from the guests of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Hajj Program. In closing, Al-Kuzbari expressed his deepest gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Prime Minister – may God protect them – for this generous hospitality. He also thanked the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance for the warm welcome, generous hospitality, and continuous care provided to the program’s guests around the clock.
