In a touching moment of a mother reuniting with her son at the Grand Mosque, social media users expressed their sympathy for a video showing the meeting between a security man and his mother, who surprised him with her presence. The video captured moments filled with a mother’s love for her son amidst the interactions of social media users with the security personnel working in the mosque, who exemplify remarkable humanity and engagement with the community.
Social media featured numerous clips and images that reflect the dedication of security personnel in serving the visitors of the Holy House in the holy mosques of Mecca and Medina. It is worth mentioning that the special force for the security of the Grand Mosque is one of the security forces affiliated with the special forces for the security of Hajj and Umrah under the Ministry of Interior. They are tasked with maintaining the security of the Grand Mosque and ensuring the safety and comfort of the visitors, pilgrims, and Umrah performers, as well as developing security plans for the annual Hajj and Umrah seasons.
Their responsibilities include ensuring security inside the Grand Mosque and its courtyards, monitoring security situations, organizing daily entry and exit operations to and from the Holy Mosque, and ensuring pathways allocated for pedestrians are clear of sitting or loitering, according to Al Arabiya Net. They also provide humanitarian services such as guiding and assisting the elderly, the disabled, and the sick, and managing the flow of Umrah performers in crowded areas. Additionally, they guard the Black Stone and organize crowds wishing to kiss it, facilitate the congregations of individuals wanting to pray inside the Hatim, and assist those wishing to see the Station of Ibrahim. The security forces also ensure the safety of the imam from entry to exit, accompanied by the responsible officer and the security commander of the Grand Mosque, along with a guard tasked with protecting the imam during the sermon.
