* Kingdom cautions Muslims against fake Umrah offers as global pilgrimage competition nears end
Saudi Arabia has begun announcing daily winners of its global Nusuk competition, which offers 100 free Umrah trips for two people and 10,000 cartons of Zamzam water to participants from different parts of the world.
The competition, which commenced on November 1, 2026, is being conducted through the official Nusuk application under the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah as part of efforts to engage Muslims worldwide through Islamic knowledge and provide opportunities to visit the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.
The initiative has attracted interest among Muslims, particularly those hoping to perform Umrah but who may not have the financial means to undertake the journey.
Several participants have emerged as winners since the competition began, with announcements being made through Nusuk’s official communication channels.
Winners emerge from different countries
Reports on the competition indicate that participants from different countries have begun receiving prizes through the daily draws.
Muslim News findings show that as of November 9, at least nine participants had emerged as winners of the Umrah packages, while 40 others had received Zamzam water prizes.
Among those announced as winners were Ahmed Elsaid Mokhtar, Rahima B. of Bangladesh, Loubna Ahna of Morocco, Naveed Fazal of Pakistan and Hanaa Salah. Nusuk also congratulated successful participants through its official social media accounts.
The competition provides 100 Umrah travel opportunities, with each selected winner entitled to travel with a companion of their choice. It also features 10,000 cartons of Zamzam water as additional prizes.
What winners stand to gain
The Umrah prize is designed for two people, allowing each successful participant to nominate a companion for the pilgrimage.
Details published about the competition state that the package covers visa arrangements, return flight tickets and 10 nights of accommodation in Makkah and Madinah.

The Zamzam category offers another opportunity for participants to receive the blessed water. According to details reported about the competition, each recipient is allocated 20 cartons, keeping 10 and giving the remaining 10 to people of their choice.
How to participate
The competition is conducted through an interactive quiz on the Nusuk application, with questions covering four categories: the Holy Qur’an, the biography of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Makkah and the Grand Mosque, and Madinah and the Prophet’s Mosque.
To participate, users are required to download the official Nusuk application, sign in, locate the competition and accept its terms and conditions.
They can then select a quiz category, use their daily key to access a question and submit the correct answer for an opportunity to enter the prize draw.
Participants can also use the referral feature provided within the application to obtain additional keys, subject to the competition’s rules.
A correct answer qualifies a participant for the draw but does not guarantee a prize, as winners are selected through a lucky draw.
The competition is scheduled to run from November 1 to December 20, 2026.
Interested participants should check the current terms in the application for eligibility requirements and the closing date.

How to identify the genuine Nusuk competition
With the growing popularity of free Umrah offers online, Muslims have been urged to distinguish the official Nusuk initiative from fraudulent promotions.
The Saudi government’s National Platform lists the Nusuk Quiz as a free service provided by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. Its instructions direct participants to log into the Nusuk application, open the challenge, agree to its terms, select a category and answer the question.
The official Nusuk website is www.nusuk.sa, while its social media accounts include Instagram @mynusuk and X @MyNusuk. Participants should ensure that they are interacting with the genuine accounts rather than similarly named profiles or pages impersonating the platform.
The official application should be downloaded through recognised app stores, with users checking that the publisher is Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
Nusuk’s official X account can be accessed at https://x.com/MyNusuk. Participants should use the account and the winners’ section within the application to follow announcements rather than relying on forwarded messages or unofficial winners’ lists.
Beware of fake free Umrah offers
The availability of a genuine competition does not mean every free Umrah promotion circulating online is authentic.
Fraudsters may exploit the excitement surrounding the initiative by creating imitation websites, distributing suspicious registration links, impersonating Nusuk officials or claiming that participants have won prizes.
Muslims are advised not to pay registration, processing, activation or prize-collection fees to individuals claiming to represent the competition.
They should also avoid sharing passwords, one-time passwords (OTPs), banking information or sensitive personal documents through unofficial links or social media accounts.
Referral codes should only be handled through the feature provided inside the official application. Participants should be wary of people selling keys, promising guaranteed victories or requesting money in exchange for access to the competition.
Anyone who receives a message claiming that they have won should independently check the announcement through the Nusuk application or contact the Ministry through its recognised support channels before responding.
The Saudi government’s National Platform lists the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah’s contact details for the Nusuk Quiz service as telephone 920002814 and email Care@haj.gov.sa.
The competition offers Muslims worldwide an opportunity to engage with Islamic knowledge while seeking a chance to visit Makkah and Madinah. Participants are, however, encouraged to verify every announcement through official channels to avoid falling victim to fraudulent offers.
