The Khutbah Arafah (Arafat Sermon) delivered at Masjid Namirah on Arafat Day (Thursday, June 5) will be translated into 34 languages and broadcast live.
Sheikh Bin Humaid, a respected imam and khateeb of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, will lead the sermon and prayers at Namirah Mosque on the Day of Arafat, the most significant day of the Hajj pilgrimage.
The Saudi Press Agency reported that the initiative, spearheaded by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, marks the world’s largest project of its kind.
Launched in 2018, the project initially offered translations in five languages. In 2024, it recorded a remarkable growth to 50 languages in less than a decade that reflects the Kingdom’s dedication to spreading the message of moderation and Islamic values globally.
