He said the presidency had come up with a package of measures and procedures in preparation for the Haj season this year, meant to address issues like receiving pilgrims and ensuring that all services and facilities are in place for them to perform the Haj.

He said the Mataf area was prepared to absorb as many pilgrims as possible, thus allowing for a successful and easy tawaf and sa’ee.

Pilgrims also benefited from the expansion of the northern spaces and other floors, which enabled them to perform the rites and rituals smoothly and successfully.

Al-Sudais praised the 24-hour guidance program and the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, which distributed millions of guidance booklets and awareness pamphlets around the Grand Mosque, and had words of praise for other services, such as provision of air conditioning, lighting, cleaning services, zamzam water, and services for people with special needs.

Al-Sudais thanked the employees of the presidency who performed their jobs responsibly and contributed to the success of the Haj this year, as well as other authorities involved in the pilgrimage, such as the Ministry of Interior, Makkah municipality, the Civil Defense, the Ministry of Haj and Umrah, the Red Crescent and the Makkah governorate.

He prayed to Allah to protect Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman as well as Muslims around the world.

Dubai, July 18: An NRI student who passed away in Dubai shortly after shortly after attempting his Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Grade 12 papers in March, has scored an impressive 91.4 per cent on his board examinations, including 100 in his media studies paper.

Ahmed Ziyad, a student of GEMS Our Own Indian School in Al Qouz, Dubai, died on March 19, suffered a heart condition called Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that stopped him from being active in sporting activities.

Ziyad's parents, teachers, and classmates remember him as a very ambitious pupil, who wanted to launch his own business and achieve great things in his life. His board results are - mass media studies 100, Marketing 97, English 84, Entrepreneurship 82, and Home Science 94.
 
Ziyad's father, Shanavaz Manangath, a real estate professional who has been a resident of Dubai for over two decades said, "Six months ago, he had collapsed while playing with his friends. Since there was an irregularity in his heartbeat, he could not take part in any strenuous activities." He added, "Ziyad had just started playing with his friends on March 19 when he suddenly collapsed and died shortly after. My family has not been able to overcome his loss."

Unable to hold back his tears, an emotional Manangath said Ziyad wanted to do his BBA and launch his own business, "He was very ambitious. Honestly, I haven't looked into his board exam results, but, I know he had studied very hard for the exams."

Muscat, Jan 11: Oman's Sultan Qaboos bin Said has died, Aljazeera reported citing state television on Friday.

Qaboos was 79-year-old and was ill for a long time. He has served as the ruler of Oman since 1970 when he ousted his father in a bloodless coup.

Qaboos had no children and has not publicly named his successor.

Sultan Qaboos travelled to Belgium for a week in December for what was described then as "medical checks." He returned to Oman but speculations of his deteriorating health were rife.
