Hussein Sharif, the vice-chairman of the Kenyan Haj Mission, has highly praised the efforts made by the Kingdom during this Haj season, and for the good organization and management of all Haj operations since the arrival of the guests of God to the holy sites.

Sharif noted that the plans and facilities witnessed by all guests affirm the depth of the care given to the guests of the Grand Mosque by all people and apparatuses of the Saudi Government.

“The giant projects implemented – and which are still being implemented every year – in Makkah and the holy sites display clear evidence of the good organization and management of the season, which cannot be described with any other words except “perfect by all means,” added Sharif.

Sharif confirmed that the Kingdom, its leadership and its people are in no way in need of the praise of anybody, however, saying: “They do all this without waiting for thanks or wages. Rather, they seek only the reward of the Almighty.”

“It is only our religious and ethical duty to say these things. We only want to pay back some of the hospitality we have received in this gracious country,” he commented.

He further added that some had exploited the accident in Mina and have now used it outside of its correct context: “Such accidents happen everywhere in the world. We pray to God to bless the souls of those died in the accident,” Sharif concluded.
