More than three million people benefited from the services provided by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call, and Guidance during the 2025 Hajj season. These services were delivered across Makkah, Madinah, the holy sites, and border entry points throughout Saudi Arabia as part of an operational plan aimed at enhancing religious awareness and helping pilgrims perform rituals in accordance with the principles of moderation and balance.
Among the ministry’s major initiatives was the provision of over 1.6 million liters of water at Namirah Mosque in Arafat. It also organised 125,000 awareness programs in Makkah and Madinah, with 1,700 scholars and preachers offering direct religious guidance. Over 1.4 million educational resources were distributed, including books, brochures, and digital cards explaining ritual rulings. In addition, nearly 100 million multilingual awareness text messages were sent to pilgrims at different locations.
The ministry released 43 educational video episodes through its digital platforms on its official YouTube channel. Its toll-free Islamic awareness hotline received more than 500,000 calls, and four million video messages in various languages were displayed on 340 digital screens in Miqat mosques and hotel prayer areas near the Grand Mosque.
