In a heartwarming display of care and service, a security official was seen spraying cool water over groups of pilgrims in Mina, as part of efforts to provide relief from the intense heat currently prevailing in the holy sites. The gesture, though simple, was met with gratitude by the Hujjaj, many of whom are enduring the physically demanding aspects of the pilgrimage under high temperatures.
The act reflects the broader commitment of Saudi authorities to ensure the comfort and well-being of millions of pilgrims participating in the 2025 Hajj. With the weather in Mina reaching soaring degrees, measures such as misting fans, shaded rest areas, cold water distribution, and mobile cooling units have been deployed across the tent city to protect pilgrims from heat-related illnesses.
The scene, which has quickly drawn attention online and on the ground, highlights the vital role of security and support personnel who are not only maintaining order but also going the extra mile to ensure that the spiritual journey of the Hujjaj is carried out with dignity, safety, and compassion.
As pilgrims continue their rites in Mina and prepare for their movement to Arafat, the presence of such humane interventions serves as a reminder that Hajj is not only a journey of faith, but also one of community, empathy, and shared humanity.
