Iftar meals for 250,000 in Madinah
 
every day

 

Saturday 20 July 2013

Generous donors provide iftar meals for 250,000 pilgrims and visitors on average at the Prophets’ Mosque every day in Ramadan.

Families in Madinah compete to offer delicious meals and drinks of different varieties to pilgrims. It has been a tradition for centuries.

Abdul Wahid Al-Hattab, media director of the Presidency of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques in Madinah, said in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency: “The presidency makes iftar arrangements inside the mosque and in all the squares of the mosque every evening. Its officials spread out the carpets and fill 13,000 Zamzam water dispensers with cool water inside the mosque.”

“The iftar menu consists mainly of dates, coffee, laban, yoghurt and bread. Supervisors make sure that no other food is brought into the mosque,” said Al-Hattab.

The leftovers after iftar are removed and the mosque halls and squares cleaned as quickly as possible so that worshippers can start the Maghreb prayer on time.

In the courtyards, thousands sit in rows and groups, with special sections for women. Sufficient space is left between the rows for pedestrians and wheelchair users to pass. Meat, rice, curries, fruits and juices are served in the squares. Municipal inspectors monitor the supply.

The suppliers of iftar start their work early in the day. While some people make the meals at their homes before noon, others buy them from restaurants. They also make it a point to supply the best varieties of dates.

“We started preparing for the Ramadan iftar two months in advance,” an iftar supplier inside the mosque, Muhammad Baghdadi, said. He said his family has been supplying iftar for generations.

He said water to break the fast is served in copper cups, which are perfumed daily with mastic to provide an aroma to the water. Excellent dates are chosen and served in special dishes, he said.

“Alheesah” is a traditional dish supplied in the mosque during Ramadan, he said. It is prepared with ground dates, hummous, flour, almonds and fat prepared one month in advance.

Most Madinah families consider it an honor to supply iftar at the Prophet’s mosque during Ramadan.

It is a common sight to see old and young handing out food to pilgrims close to the mosque in the afternoons.

“I am deeply impressed by the eagerness of the Madinah people to serve pilgrims with varying dishes including fruits and drinks during Ramadan,” an Algerian Umrah pilgrim Saeedi Abdul Ghani told the Saudi Press Agency.

An Iraqi pilgrim praised the Saudi people and government for making pilgrims feel safe and happy.

4.7 million pilgrims complete Umrah

Sunday 21 July 2013

About 4.75 million pilgrims completed Umrah since the start of the season, according to the Ministry of Haj.

There are currently 300,000 pilgrims in Makkah and Madinah. The ministry said there are an estimated 500,000 visitors from abroad in the two holy cities.

Nearly 25,000 Umrah visitors leave the Kingdom every day after staying for 10 to 14 days in the Kingdom, according to the ministry’s spokesman Hatem Al-Qadi.

Expansion work at the Grand Mosque continues, with the traffic administration banning private vehicles carrying pilgrims from entering the central area. The police send out SMS text for people not to cause congestion.

A special raised platform has been built on the mataf (the circumambulating area around the Kaaba) for people with special needs because of the space lost to the current expansion.

Makkah traffic jams reduced


Masjid al Haram new expansion
Friday 19 July 2013

Traffic congestion on Makkah’s roads have been reduced by 50 percent because of the expansion of the public transport site in Al-Ghazah next to the Grand Mosque and the decision to cut pilgrim numbers this year, a senior city police officer said recently.

Lt. Col. Assaf Al-Qurashi, head of the Makkah police department, said the central command was pleased with operations in the first few days of Ramadan. “Plans were well thought out and approved by the Minister of Interior Prince Mohammad bin Naif.”

He said various operations were under way to tackle criminals and organize transport sites. Detectives have been deployed in the central area and various entrances and exits.

Al-Qurashi said 4,200 security personnel are on duty, which includes 80 female officers in certain parts of the Grand Mosque and 150 officers involved in investigations and research. A total of 25 percent of the force has been deployed to counter negative phenomena.

He rejected reports of delays in the construction of the new headquarters of the department. The project was handed to the contractor and “would be completed soon.” He said the department would move to a new rented building in Al-Nasim after Eid Al-Fitr, until the building is completed.

He said there are new police buildings throughout the holy city. “The command issued a directive for all police departments to have their own buildings.” A number of buildings have been completed including in the Al-Sharae’ neighborhood, Al-Jamoum governorate and Al-Aziziyah, he said.

Al-Qurashi said a number of theft cases were reported in the central area but all the perpetrators, from various countries, were caught. He said all the victims got their property back, including a person who had SR27,000 stolen.

He said pilgrims should rather use ATM cards than carry large amounts of money on them.

Umrah pilgrim’s dead body
still unburied after four months

Friday 19 July 2013

Its been four months now since Mohammed Arifuddin, an Indian expatriate, died in Makkah, where he had come to perform Umrah, but the authorities are yet to release his body for burial, pending completion of legal formalities.

Arifuddin, a resident of Karimnagar district in the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, was working in Jeddah and was the sole bread-winner for the family. He came to Makkah to perform Umrah on Mar. 21, and was staying in a hotel in Gaza Street. He died in the shower apparently due to a short-circuit in the water heater, police reports said.

Arifuddin’s wife, Naseem Sultana, had, in a letter to the Indian Consulate, demanded a probe into her husband’s death in addition to compensation for negligence on the part of the hotel management. Her request was forwarded to the local authorities through diplomatic channels.

After waiting two months, she wrote a second letter to the Indian Consulate stating that her husband’s body could be buried and all relevant documents to be handed over to their family friend Mohammed Ayub Khan, who also works in the Kingdom.

Based on her letter, the Indian consulate issued a “No Objection Certificate” to receive the body and preparations were made for burial in Makkah, Ayub Khan, who was authorized by the family to handle the case, said.

He said the police, however, did not hand over the body in the last minute since they had received Naseem Sultana’s first letter seeking probe and compensation.

The family’s woes have been compounded since they have nobody in Makkah who can follow up on the case or expedite the formalities.

Stating that the Indian Consulate had done everything possible from their side, Ayub Khan said it was now up to the local authorities to take a decision and hand over the body.

Family and friends of Arifuddin are desperately trying to ensure that he at least gets a decent burial during the holy month of Ramadan.

According to the Kingdom’s laws, compensation is a subject to Shariah law, which decides whether it was an accident or a case of negligence.

100,000 pilgrims expected
 
after Umrah visa move

Sunday 21 July 2013

An estimated 100,000 extra Umrah pilgrims are expected in the country because of the extension of the visa application deadline to Ramadan 15 or July 24.

Ahmad Sheikh Bafaqih, who specializes in Haj and Umrah economics, said the government was wise to stipulate that an equal number of pilgrims must leave for these visas to be approved.

“Many Umrah companies and their agents around the world criticized the decision (to extend the deadline for applications). They believed the mechanism was to get rid of the current pilgrims without granting any extra visas. But the Ministry of Haj approved the extension mechanism, on the condition that current pilgrims leave Saudi territory,” he said.

He said the measure was taken to prevent overcrowding and safety problems in Makkah because of the ongoing construction work.

More visas will see more revenue for the country. An estimated SR 17 billion has flowed into the country since the start of the Umrah season, based on average SR 3,500 spent by each pilgrim. This includes air tickets, accommodation and transportation but excludes spending on shopping, restaurants and tours.

The Ministry of Haj told Umrah companies it might stop the system if there are violations. A team of 1,000 employees have been assigned to monitor the performance of these companies in Makkah and Madinah. To ensure compliance, the ministry provided these companies with an automated system available on smartphones and tablets.
