Volunteers bring the spirit of giving to the Grand Mosque

In the heart of Makkah, as millions of worshippers gather for Ramadan, a group of selfless volunteers steps forward to serve.

From doctors and engineers to students and teachers, individuals from all backgrounds unite with one mission—to provide comfort and care to the guests of God.

One of their most cherished duties is distributing Zamzam water, ensuring that pilgrims stay refreshed as they perform their rituals

The volunteers, many fluent in multiple languages, go beyond just handing out water; they offer guidance, answer questions, and extend warm hospitality, making every visitor feel welcome.
