The Saudi Press Agency stated that the Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and Prophet’s Mosque started a project on Thursday to translate this year’s Arafat sermon into 35 languages. This project will reach about five million Muslims around the world during the 1446 AH Hajj season.
The president of religious affairs, Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, said that the presidency was committed to showing how the kingdom is a leader in serving Islam and Muslims, especially those who visit the Two Holy Mosques.
Spreading the moderate global message is critical to Al-Sudais: “At the top of our broadcasting principles is spreading the guidance of the Arafat sermon, which has been translated into 35 languages for this year’s Hajj and lays the foundations of human and civilizational brotherhood and religious tolerance.”
Al-Sudais stated that they completed the translation preparations ahead of schedule to ensure the world could hear the kingdom’s moderate message.
SPA says that the presidency set up a separate group to make a standard framework to make the sermon’s effects and results as beneficial as possible.
