Saudi Gazette Report MAKKAH — Millions of worshipers thronged the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah as well as mosques and prayer grounds across Saudi Arabia to perform Eid Al-Adha and Juma prayers on Friday. In Makkah, the faithful performed Eid Al-Adha prayer at the Grand Mosque in a spiritual atmosphere. Sheikh Maher Al-Muaiqly, imam and preacher of the Grand Mosque, led the prayers and delivered the sermon. In his sermon, Sheikh Al-Muaiqly urged the faithful to fear Allah and draw closer through worship and supplication. 'Eid is a time of joy, happiness, compassion, love, tolerance, and connecting family bonds. So, celebrate your Eid, maintain kinship ties, and show gratitude to your Lord for bringing you to these days through increasing your remembrance and glorification of God,' he said while emphasizing the need to show kindness and mercy, especially during these crowded seasons. A large number of Hajj pilgrims joined other worshipers in performing Juma prayer at the Grand Mosque. Sheikh Abdullah Al-Juhani, imam and preacher of the Grand Mosque, led the Juma prayer. In his Friday sermon, Sheikh Al-Juhani called on pilgrims to remain calm and peaceful. He called them on to be gentle, kind, and generous with the people, and to avoid noise and causing harm. He highlighted the sanctity of the Day of Sacrifice on Dhul Hijjah 10, and the sanctity of Makkah over all other places around the world. He urged the faithful to have respectful behavior in the holy city and treat politely with fellow Muslims, especially Hajj pilgrims. 'Do not disturb the pilgrims with excessive noise, nor disrupt them with overcrowding in the streets, raising false chants and fake propaganda as these things are considered as harm, and God has forbidden harming believers,' he said. In Madinah, Imam Sheikh Salah Al-Budair, imam and preacher of the Prophet's Mosque, led the Eid Al-Adha prayer and delivered the Eid sermon, in which he advised Muslims to fear Allah, perform their duties, avoid forbidden acts, and remain steadfast in pure monotheism. Those who attended the Eid Al-Adha prayer include Emir of Madinah Prince Salman bin Sultan. Sheikh Abdul Bari Al-Thubaiti led the Juma prayer and delivered the Friday sermon at the Prophet's Mosque. Sheikh Al-Thubaiti, in his sermon, urged people to adhere to doing good deeds, including acts of obedience, worship, and kindness to people. He called on people not to underestimate the importance of doing virtue, no matter how small or insignificant it is, as God calls for doing good, and He does not fail to reward those who do good. Worshippers across Saudi Arabia performed the Eid Al-Adha prayer early this morning. In Jeddah Prince Saud bin Abdullah, governor of Jeddah, performed the Eid Al-Adha prayer along with worshipers at the King Fahd Mosque in Al-Marjan neighborhood.

The women empowered through service during Hajj
RIYADH: The role played by women during Hajj has evolved considerably in recent years, highlighting their contributions to one of the world's largest gatherings of humanity. One inspiring woman involved in the pilgrimage is Alyaa Malibari, a professor at Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah. She has dedicated her career to enhancing pilgrims' experiences while also empowering other women and works with several operators to run courses for members of the public interested in volunteering during Hajj. She devised the Qaidat program, a leadership initiative for women that introduces them to various roles and responsibilities. Another, Hunna, is a female-led project that aligns with Vision 2030 and focuses on applying innovative practices during Hajj. Meanwhile, the Aguadyat program empowers women in food safety, enhancing the quality of meals provided to pilgrims. Women have been integral to Hajj ever since its inception, offering hospitality, preparing meals and sharing religious knowledge. Today, their roles have expanded to reflect their educational and professional advancements. Malibari has been a pivotal figure. With a background in leadership training and communication, she began her journey at a young age, inspired by her family's commitment to serving pilgrims. 'My earliest memories of Hajj are filled with admiration for my father and the work he did. I always knew I wanted to contribute in some way,' she said, adding that empowering women was a lifelong commitment: 'I want to ensure that women have the tools and knowledge to thrive during Hajj.' Malibari's earliest memories of Hajj are of when she was five years old and accompanied her father. Her formal involvement began in 2005 when she volunteered with the Women's Assembly at Umm Al-Qura to assist female pilgrims. She later studied abroad, which allowed her to bring international attention to Saudi efforts in serving pilgrims. 'It was important for me to share our story with the world and highlight the dedication of those who serve,' she said. In 2019, Malibari led a translation project for the Ministry of Media, producing multilingual content to enhance communication. Beyond her contributions during Hajj, Malibari is a dedicated doctor and academic. She is keen to emphasize the importance of education and aims to inspire the next generation of leaders. 'Education is the key to unlocking potential. I want my students to understand that they can make a difference,' she said.
