Grand Mosque Breaks New Ground by Translating Friday Sermon into 35 Global Languages

MAKKAH AL MUKARRAMAH — In a groundbreaking move to promote inclusivity and global Islamic outreach, the Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has translated the Friday sermon at the Grand Mosque into 35 languages for the first time.

The landmark initiative was launched during Friday prayers led by Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, President of Religious Affairs at the Two Holy Mosques. The project aims to enhance the spiritual experience of millions of worshippers and Umrah pilgrims from across the globe by ensuring that the universal messages of Islam reach non-Arabic-speaking audiences.

The multilingual translations were delivered through a sophisticated operational framework, combining advanced audio systems and digital platforms to guarantee real-time, accurate, and authentic dissemination of the sermon both inside the Grand Mosque and worldwide.

Fahim Al-Hamid, Advisor to the Presidency of Religious Affairs and General Supervisor of Media and Communication, described the initiative as a vital part of the Presidency’s vision to strengthen intercultural understanding and dialogue through faith.

“This effort goes beyond translation,” Al-Hamid stated. “It is about building bridges between cultures, civilizations, and peoples through the universal teachings of Islam. Every worshipper, regardless of their language, deserves to feel spiritually connected and engaged.”

He explained that the project aligns with Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sudais’s strategic vision of positioning the Grand Mosque as a symbol of global religious leadership and intercultural harmony.

He noted, “Our message is for the entire world, and therefore it must be communicated in global languages.”

This initiative is part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s wider efforts to establish the Two Holy Mosques as leading centers for religious dialogue and spiritual excellence. By removing language barriers, the Presidency hopes to promote unity, inclusivity, and a deeper understanding of Islam’s teachings across diverse Muslim communities.

Millions of Muslims around the world tuned in to the historic multilingual sermons, marking a new era of accessibility and cultural engagement from the heart of Islam.
