Today is the ninth of Dhul Hijjah
The greatest day of Hajj.

And tomorrow is Eid Al-Adha
the second major celebration for Muslims after Eid Al-Fitr.

So for a moment
let us live with this extraordinary scene.

Millions of people dream of witnessing these moments:
in Makkah
the holy sites
and Al-Madinah.

Here we are not merely watching:
organized human movement
within a limited space
and an extremely sensitive timeframe.

We are also witnessing:
an exceptional ability to manage millions of people
with security
smooth flow
and advanced services
in one of the most complex operational and management systems in the world.

Many countries become anxious simply over:
managing the crowd of a football match.

So what about managing:
millions of people
within a confined geographical area
at the same time
under intense heat
and enormous humanitarian medical and operational demands?

And that is not all.

We also witness:
high-quality services
modern technologies
and advanced operational intelligence
creating an atmosphere of:
ease
comfort
and tranquility.

And when:
comfort
organization
and smooth movement are achieved

people do not merely experience:
service.

They also experience:
the joy of giving
the serenity of worship
and the beauty of tranquility.

Security and safety.

Discipline and order.

Stability and inner peace.

Meanwhile
on the complete opposite side
another creaking sound rises.

The creaking of:
wars
missiles
hatred
and nations preparing for destruction and chaos across the land and among humanity.

There is also another type of creaking:

The grinding teeth of:
the envious
the resentful
those aligned with destruction
and those unable to tolerate seeing:
stability
success
and peace.

In the end
the difference remains clear between:
a creaking that builds humanity
and a creaking that destroys it.

Between a world searching for:
tranquility
and another world still addicted to:
noise.

And Hajj season continues to impose itself
as a scene revealing:
Saudi Arabia’s strength
its capability
and its exceptional ability in:
control
organization
and crowd management
within one of the most complex human operations on Earth.

It is a remarkable capability granted by God to this nation
renewed every year before the eyes of the world.

And it carries a clear message to every:
supporter
fair observer
and even those who carry bitterness toward the Kingdom.

The message says:

You are facing a nation unlike any other in:
its capability
its stability
and the efficiency of its management.

And the evidence is visible before the entire world.

The world also has an opportunity to learn:
how the “battles” of goodness are managed

which are far more difficult than creating:
wars
chaos
and destruction.

And this is also a message to those:
well-dressed
elegant
and polished
on conference stages and platforms

while some of them remain incapable of:
true planning
for peace
stability
and building humanity.

Providing:
smart technologies
is easy.

What truly matters is:
the Saudi human mind
that creates the mission
and manages it with competence and mastery.
