Khutbah Arafah 2026 Broadcast in 34 Languages, Delivered by Sheikh Hudhaify

Sheikh Ali bin Abdul Rahman Hudhaify will deliver the Khutbah Arafah for the Hajj season of 2026 from the Namirah Mosque on 26 May 2026. The Khutbah will be available in more than 30 languages. Last year, the General Authority for the Management of the Two Holy Mosques Affairs announced that the project to translate the Khutbah Arafah had been completed. The objective of the project is to enhance communication between Muslims and non-Muslims by conveying Islam’s message of tolerance to audiences around the world in their own languages.

A Quick Response (QR) code, which provides quick access to translated text and audio, is a key component of the real-time translation of the Khutbah Arafah. This enables worshippers both inside and outside the holy site to listen to the sermon in their mother tongue.

Authorities broadcast the Khutbah Arafah in 34 languages last year after the Khutbah Translation Project for Hajj was completed.
