Riyadh: The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque provides Friday sermon translation services in 13 languages through its digital platforms, enabling pilgrims and Muslims worldwide to follow the sermons and understand their content in their native language.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the service is part of the authority's efforts to utilize modern technologies to enhance services provided to visitors of the Two Holy Mosques and facilitate the delivery of guidance and awareness content to non-Arabic speakers, taking into account their linguistic and cultural diversity.
Friday sermon translations are broadcast via the "Manarat Al-Haramain" platform and the authority's YouTube channel, allowing beneficiaries inside and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to follow and listen to the sermons in their own language.
The translation services contribute to maximizing the benefit visitors derive from Friday sermons by conveying their meanings and guidance in multiple languages and providing digital options that facilitate access to and engagement with the sermons.
The service complements the broader system of guidance and orientation support provided by the authority to visitors of the Two Holy Mosques. It aligns with the authority's efforts to develop digital services and leverage modern technologies to enhance the visitor experience and facilitate the performance of acts of worship.
