In a major step toward global religious outreach, the Religious Affairs Department of Haramain has completed preparations to broadcast Friday sermons (Khutbahs) live in 15 different languages. The goal is to help non-Arabic speakers around the world benefit from the spiritual messages delivered at Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah.
According to local media outlet Akhbaar 24, this new initiative will begin this Friday. The sermons will be streamed live on YouTube in multiple languages, including English, Urdu, French, and others. This effort is part of a broader plan to make the teachings of Islam more accessible to Muslims and non-Muslims alike across the globe.

Expanding to 30 Global Languages
Officials at Haramain announced that this is just the first phase of the initiative. Over time, the department aims to expand the live sermon translations to cover 30 global languages, reaching millions of listeners in every part of the world.
The translations will help people better understand the Friday sermons, which play a vital role in delivering religious, ethical, and social guidance to Muslims. For many, language barriers have made it difficult to fully grasp the depth of the khutbahs this new system aims to eliminate that challenge.
The decision has been widely welcomed by Islamic scholars and communities, especially in non-Arabic speaking countries. It is seen as a powerful step in spreading the message of Islam with clarity, unity, and accessibility.
