In Jeddah, Erbaş says Hajj unites Muslims around one qibla
Türkiye’s President of Religious Affairs Ali Erbaş and Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al-Rabiah signed the 2027 Hajj protocol in Jeddah on the sidelines of the Hajj Conference and Exhibition organized by the Saudi ministry.
Türkiye and Saudi Arabia signed the 2027 Hajj protocol in the city of Jeddah, regulating arrangements for Turkish pilgrims during the upcoming season. The protocol was signed by Türkiye’s President of Religious Affairs Ali Erbaş and Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al-Rabiah.
Before the signing, the two sides discussed services provided to Turkish pilgrims and various aspects of organizing the Hajj journey, according to a statement by Türkiye’s Presidency of Religious Affairs.
“Hajj reminds us of our shared values”
Erbaş later attended the 2026 Hajj Conference organized by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Jeddah and visited the accompanying exhibition. In his speech, he said the annual Hajj conferences and exhibitions provide an important opportunity to exchange expertise, consult and improve the quality of services.
Erbaş stressed that Hajj goes beyond being an individual act of worship, serving as one of the strongest manifestations of monotheism, collective Muslim consciousness, brotherhood and unity among Muslims. He added: “Hajj brings Muslims from different geographies, languages and cultures together around one qibla, reminding us of our shared values and our responsibility toward brotherhood.”
Erbaş expressed his satisfaction with the level of services received by Turkish pilgrims and thanked the Saudi authorities for their support in organizing the Hajj. He was accompanied during his visit by his deputy, Fatih Mehmet Karaca, Türkiye’s consul general in Jeddah, Mustafa Ünal, and other officials from the Presidency.
