It aims to improve the experience of worshippers performing their rituals and promote a culture of giving. The initiative also emphasizes Islamic values of hospitality and generosity, reflecting the Kingdom's commitment to serving visitors to the Two Holy Mosques.
Volunteers from various community groups are participating, providing guidance, supporting sanitation efforts, and managing pedestrian flow around the Grand Mosque. Additionally, iftar and suhoor meals are being offered to those fasting, in collaboration with charities and relevant authorities, embodying social solidarity and generosity.
