This Hajj season, Saudi Arabia is taking a major step toward global inclusion and religious connection
The General Authority for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has launched a powerful initiative: real-time translation of the Arafat sermon in over 34 languages.
As millions gather on the holy plains of Arafat, this project ensures that language is no longer a barrier to understanding one of the most important sermons in Islam
By delivering the sermon in native languages, the initiative promotes a deeper grasp of Islam’s message of peace, unity, and compassion—both for Muslims and non-Muslims around the world.

But that’s not all. The project goes digital with Quick Response (QR) codes, placed on screens, buses, and accommodations, allowing pilgrims to access both text and audio translations instantly on their phones. Whether you’re at the site or following along from afar, this tech-powered solution ensures no one misses out on the message.
This move not only reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to serving pilgrims and enhancing the spiritual experience but also showcases its leadership in using innovation to foster global unity
As Hajj continues to evolve with the times, initiatives like this ensure it remains accessible, meaningful, and truly global.
