From the blessed plains of Arafat, Imam and Khateeb of Masjid an-Nabawi, Sheikh Dr Ali Al Huthaify, delivered a powerful message to the Muslim Ummah: unity through Taqwa, truth, and devotion to Allah.

Addressing millions of pilgrims gathered from every race, nation, and background, the Imam reminded believers that Islam unites hearts beyond borders, languages, and colours.

“People of all colours and backgrounds from across the globe have gathered here today,” he said, describing Hajj as a living manifestation of one Ummah standing together before Allah.

The sermon emphasised that true honour lies in piety, sincerity, and Tawheed — the oneness of Allah.

He urged Muslims to abandon division, falsehood, gossip, and hatred, and instead strengthen brotherhood, patience, and righteousness.

From Arafat, the heart of Hajj, came a timeless reminder: the strength of the Ummah is in its unity. One faith. One Qibla. One Ummah.

The Imam concluded with an emotional dua asking Allah to unite the hearts of Muslims upon truth, accept the Hajj of the pilgrims, and return them safely to their homes.
