EVERY year, hundreds of thousands of Muslims from around the world gather in Makkah, a central place of inhabited portion of the Earth. In Makkah, the House of God (Kaaba, Bait Allah) was founded by Prophet Adam (peace be upon him), the father of human race on earth. Hence there is no better way to unite humanity other than to call them to gather in the house of their One and the Only Creator.

Neymar's dubious deal!
GOD SAID in the Holy Qur’an, “And proclaim to the people the Haj (pilgrimage); they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass”.Haj is on (the day after tomorrow) and there is no more beautiful sight than the sight of the hundreds of thousands of Muslims coming from all entry points, dressed in white and with one mission, to perform their once in a lifetime duty in peace and security. We as, the government of Saudi Arabia and its people, take full pride in welcoming the guests of Allah and embrace them with open arms.Saudi Arabia has mobilized all its resources, like it does every year, to ensure that pilgrims will perform their pilgrimage in peace and comfort. All sectors — government departments, passport, security, Haj, health and...
