Grand Mosque Imam urges compassion and solidarity with Palestine in Hajj sermon
Listen to article Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Abdullah bin Humaid, the Imam of Makkah's Grand Mosque, delivered a spiritually charged sermon on Thursday during the annual Hajj pilgrimage, calling for unity, piety, and compassion—while offering heartfelt prayers for the people of Palestine. The sermon took place at Masjid Namirah in Arafat, where approximately 1.5 million pilgrims from across the globe gathered to perform Waqoof-e-Arafah, the central rite of Hajj. The Day of Arafat is considered the holiest day in the Islamic calendar, a time when believers seek divine forgiveness and draw spiritually closer to God. In his address, Sheikh Humaid focused on the core themes of Tawheed (the oneness of God), sincere worship, and moral conduct. He reminded Muslims that worship is due to Allah alone and that no prophet or righteous person should be venerated in place of the Creator. The Imam emphasised Islam's fundamental pillars—prayer (salah), fasting (sawm), almsgiving (zakat), and pilgrimage (Hajj)—urging believers to uphold virtues such as patience, modesty, truthfulness, and gratitude. He called for kindness toward parents, neighbours, orphans, widows, and the underprivileged, warning against spiritual and moral dangers including gossip (gheebah), religious innovation (bid'ah), and Satan's deception. 'Good and evil are not the same,' he said. 'Responding to harm with goodness can turn enemies into friends.' The Imam also reaffirmed belief in all prophets, emphasising that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a mercy to all of humanity, with his coming foretold in earlier scriptures. In a poignant moment, Sheikh Humaid prayed for the suffering people of Palestine, calling on Muslims to support the oppressed, feed the hungry, and give generously in alms. His words come amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in the region. Expressing deep appreciation to the Saudi leadership, the Imam commended the Kingdom's efforts in organising and facilitating the pilgrimage for millions of worshippers. Following the sermon, pilgrims began their journey to Muzdalifah, situated between Arafat and Mina, where they will spend the night collecting pebbles for the symbolic stoning of the devil—scheduled for Friday, as the Hajj continues.

The launch featured a captivating fireside chat with Prof. Dr. Humaid Al Shamsi, CEO of Burjeel Cancer Institute, and Dr. George Mathew, fondly known as 'Matyous,' one of the pioneering doctors who arrived in Abu Dhabi nearly five decades ago and the first to serve in a public hospital in Al Ain. A recipient of the prestigious Abu Dhabi Award, Dr. Mathew was also recently recognised with a road named after him in the capital. The discussion attracted a distinguished audience of healthcare leaders, policymakers, academics, and professionals. It offered an engaging look into the inspiration, research, and collaborative journey behind the book, while also sparking meaningful dialogue on the future of healthcare in the region. In a symbolic gesture, Prof. Dr. Humaid presented the first copy of the book to Dr. Mathew, honouring his enduring legacy in the UAE's medical history. 'I have always been deeply committed to advancing healthcare in the UAE. Witnessing the rapid transformation of our system—its innovations, milestones, and the challenges we continue to face—motivated me to compile this resource. My goal was to provide a clear, forward-thinking roadmap that celebrates our progress and inspires future improvements,' said Prof. Dr. Humaid. Reflecting on the moment, Dr. Mathew said, 'It has been a privilege to witness the transformation of healthcare in this country.

Endorsed by the Emirates Oncology Society and the Emirates Medical Association, Healthcare in the United Arab Emirates also addresses contemporary topics such as AI in healthcare, medical tourism, health economics, clinical research, and public health regulation. The event also featured a book signing session, offering participants the opportunity to connect with Prof. Dr. Humaid Alshamsi personally.
