Saudi authorities have announced that this year’s Arafah sermon, delivered during the Hajj pilgrimage, will be translated into 35 languages and broadcast across digital platforms and affiliated media channels to reach Muslims worldwide.
The initiative, led by the Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, aims to make the sermon accessible to non-Arabic-speaking audiences and enhance the spiritual experience of millions of pilgrims and viewers globally.
According to officials, the translated languages include Hausa, Yoruba, English, French, Indonesian, Urdu, Turkish, Persian, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Bengali, Hindi, Malay, Amharic, Swahili, Somali, Pashto, Punjabi, Tamil, Filipino, and several European and African languages such as German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Bosnian, Uzbek, and others.
The presidency explained that the project is designed to communicate the sermon’s religious message and promote values of moderation and unity within Islam. Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, head of the presidency, said the initiative reflects years of development in religious broadcasting and outreach.
He added that advanced technical systems and specialised translation teams have been deployed to ensure accurate and wide-reaching dissemination of the sermon.
The Arafah sermon, delivered annually at Mount Arafat during Hajj, is considered one of the most important Islamic sermons, followed by millions of Muslims around the world.
Meanwhile, Saudi authorities also urged Hajj missions and participating countries to strictly adhere to operational guidelines to ensure a safe and orderly pilgrimage. They warned that national missions would be held accountable for any lapses in coordination or pilgrim management.
In Nigeria, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) said its ICT department is working toward full digitalisation of Hajj operations in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 reforms.
