The Charter Of Makkah, endorsed by the muftis and scholars of the Islamic Ummah from various schools of thought and sects, as well as by the member states of the OIC, is considered the second charter of its kind in Islamic history after the Charter of Medina, signed by our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
As a pivotal charter in a pressing contemporary context, it reflects the high aspirations of Islamic scholarship in confronting numerous challenges and shortcomings, and in addressing narrow-mindedness, backwardness, and extremism that have emerged in various contexts.
The Charter also embodies the compassion and mercy of Islam for the world. It supports the causes of coexistence and positive integration, and affirms the harmonious reconciliation—within the true message of Islam—of religious and national identities, particularly in diverse societies and in countries with Muslim minorities.
The latest group of Uzbek pilgrims is performing their acts of worship in Makkah al-Mukarramah, including the Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Kaaba, as well as the five daily prayers and voluntary (nafl) prayers.
They also visited several sacred sites such as Mount Arafat, Mount Nur, Mount Thawr, and the blessed valleys of Mina and Muzdalifah.
During their stay in Madinah al-Munawwarah, the pilgrims visited the Rawdah, Mount Uhud, and the Quba Mosque, and continue to perform their daily and optional prayers at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
Throughout the journey, Uzbek pilgrims have been treated with great respect and provided with comfortable accommodations — Pullman Zamzam Hotel (Madinah) and Al-Ayyam Elite Hotel (Makkah) offer excellent 5-star services to ensure a pleasant stay.
May Allah Almighty accept the worship and prayers of all the pilgrims and grant us the honor of making supplication beside His Sacred House.
