For the first time in recent memory, the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia achieved remarkable success in 2025. Over 1.67 million pilgrims experienced a journey free from major health, security, or service issues.

This achievement marks one of the safest and most efficiently organized pilgrimages ever. The positive outcome was announced on Sunday, June 8th, following the symbolic stone-pelting ritual at Jamrat.

Prince Saud bin Mishaal, Deputy Emir of the Makkah Region, confirmed the **incident-free pilgrimage**. He extended congratulations to the Saudi leadership, including King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, for their exceptional planning.

The Prince highlighted how their foresight enabled pilgrims to complete their religious duties peacefully. This success is a testament to the Kingdom's commitment to pilgrim welfare.

Prince Saud also thanked the dedicated security, health, and service personnel. He acknowledged the many volunteers whose sincerity and commitment were vital to the season's smooth operation.

Their collective efforts, guided by the leadership, ensured a secure and comfortable experience for all of God's guests.
