‘A mark of pride for Muslims everywhere'
MP Ahmed Al Salloom has praised the smooth running of this year's Hajj, calling it 'a mark of pride for Muslims everywhere'. Crowds were managed with care, and pilgrims approached the rituals calmly and without trouble. The scale of preparation, he said, was striking. The credit, he added, lay with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al Salloom, Chairman of Parliament's financial committee, thanked Bahrain's leadership for helping its pilgrims. Royal guidance He thanked His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, saying their guidance and steady oversight helped ensure pilgrims from Bahrain received what they needed to carry out the rituals calmly and without trouble. He also praised King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their care for the pilgrims. The transport, shelters, and the helping hands, he said, showed just how much had been put in to ease the strain on those making the journey. He credited Bahrain's Hajj mission. Staff kept a close eye on local pilgrims and worked closely with other bodies. It showed a strong sense of duty and teamwork, he said. Al Salloom said the results spoke plainly. From Saudi planning to Bahraini support, the cooperation was clear. And behind it all, he added, was one shared aim, to serve the pilgrims and honour the faith.

The committee, headed by Dr Mohammed Ali Hassan Ali, held 14 meetings over the session and produced seven reports, all of which were later discussed during Council sittings.
