مع بداية كل موسم حج، تسجّل المملكة العديد من الإنجازات في مجال خدمة ضيوف الرحمن، وفي كل عام يزداد عدد الخدمات بالتزامن مع تحسن جودتها بشكل ملموس، وهو التحسن الذي يلمسه كل حاج ويصرح به الكثير منهم عقب عودتهم من الحج، مما يؤكد تضافر جهود المملكة قيادة وشعباً لإنجاح كل موسم حج على نحو يتفوق عن سابقه، وهو ما يوضح للعالم كافة كيف تولي المملكة اهتماماً فائقاً بحجاج بيت الله الحرام، ليتمكنوا من القيام بمناسك الحج جميعها بسهولة ويسر.
وعلى الرغم من محاولات البعض تشويه الإنجازات التي تحققها المملكة العربية السعودية في خدمة الحجيج، إلا أن قيادة المملكة لا تولي أهمية لتلك الأبواق الفارغة التي تنادي كل عام بدعوى مختلفة بغية إفساد موسم الحج ثم إلقاء اللوم على المملكة، ولعل أهمها مناداة تلك الأبواق بعدم أهمية الحصول على تصاريح لأداء فريضة الحج، كما نجدهم متربصين طيلة أيام الحج لاصطياد هفوة هنا أو هناك لتضخيمها والنفخ فيها.
كثيرة هي الخدمات التي توفرها المملكة لضيوف الرحمن، وهي الخدمات التي تشمل مجالات عدة؛ لعل أهمها خدمات الرعاية الصحية التي تهدف لتوفير الرعاية الصحية الفورية للحجاج والاستجابة للحالات الطارئة أينما ووقتما حلت، في إطار منظومة متكاملة معروفة باسم برنامج خدمات ضيوف الرحمن، ويسعى هذا البرنامج لخدمة الحجاج على أكثر من مستوى وفي أكثر من مجال، ومن أهمها مجال النقل والخدمات اللوجيستية، التي تتضمن الاهتمام بالمطارات والقطارات التي تنقل الحجيج والحافلات وسيارات الأجرة.
التخطيط لموسم الحج لا يبدأ مع اقتراب موسم الحج كما يظن البعض، بل هو جهد مبذول على مدار العام يشمل العديد من الأصعدة ويهدف لتطوير الخدمات بصورة عامة على المديين القريب والبعيد معاً، ويُعد تطوير وتنمية البنية التحتية بالمملكة وتحديث المرافق وبناء المزيد منها، مع الاهتمام بترقية الخدمات الرقمية وتطبيق كل جديد فيها، جهداً يضاف لسلسلة الجهود المبذولة خصيصاً لخدمة ضيوف الرحمن سواء للحج أو العمرة، الذين يتوافدون كل عام بأعداد ضخمة جداً استطاعت المملكة إدارتها بما ييسر لضيوف الرحمن أداء مناسكهم بيسر وسهولة.
ولعل مبادرة طريق مكة، وهي المبادرة التي يتضمنها أيضاً برنامج خدمة ضيوف الرحمن، والتي تهدف لتقديم خدمات ذات جودة عالية للحجاج الراغبين في الاستفادة من هذه المبادرة من خلال إنهاء إجراءات الحجيج في بلدانهم، بدءاً من إصدار التأشيرات إلكترونياً حتى إنهائها في مطار بلد المغادرة، تستحق الإشادة لأنها تسهل للحجاج الكثير جداً من الإجراءات الطويلة المرهقة عند الوصول للمملكة، ومن خلالها يتمكن الحجاج من أداء مناسك الحج دون التعرض لعناء الازدحام عند الوصول، حيث يتم نقلهم مباشرة فور وصولهم من مطارات المملكة إلى مقار إقاماتهم في الوقت الذي تتولي الجهات الخدمية إيصال أمتعتهم إلى مقار إقاماتهم.
لا شك أن خدمة حجاج بيت الله الحرام شرف كرم الله به المملكة قيادة وشعباً، وكل إنجاز تحققه عاماً بعد عام يضاف لسلسلة النجاحات التي تحققها على كافة الأصعدة في كل عام، والتي تتسق مع جهودها السياسية والاقتصادية والثقافية والرياضية التي تبذلها لكي تتبوأ مكانتها التي تستحقها بين كافة الأمم، ولعل الاحتفاء البالغ من الحجاج السوريين الذين أوضحوا تقديرهم وكرروا شكرهم لقيادة المملكة لنجاحها في رفع العقوبات الاقتصادية على سوريا لأبلغ دليل على أن جهود الأمير محمد بن سلمان ولي العهد تؤتي ثمارها، فالشعب السوري لن ينسى وقوف المملكة إلى جواره قيادة وشعباً لكي يتمكن من التخلص من الإرث الثقيل لحكم حزب البعث البائد.
جهود المملكة الحثيثة لتحسين خدمات الحج عاماً بعد عام، والتي لم تدخر جهداً في أن تمارسها بحنكة وإبداع، ما هي إلا جزء من الدور الذي تضطلع به إقليمياً وعالمياً، كلاعب أساسي في الشؤون الدولية، بهدف إرساء دعائم السلام ولا سيما في منطقة الشرق الأوسط، وهي الجهود التي تكللت بالفعل بالنجاح الحقيقي، فالمملكة كانت ولا تزال واحة الأمان والاستقرار ولا تنشد للشعوب الشقيقة سوى الأمن والاستقرار.

With the beginning of each Hajj season, the Kingdom records many achievements in serving the guests of Allah. Each year, the number of services increases alongside a noticeable improvement in their quality, an enhancement that every pilgrim feels and many of them express after returning from Hajj. This confirms the combined efforts of the Kingdom's leadership and people to make each Hajj season more successful than the last, demonstrating to the world how the Kingdom pays exceptional attention to the pilgrims of the Sacred House of Allah, enabling them to perform all the rituals of Hajj with ease and comfort.
Despite attempts by some to distort the achievements made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in serving the pilgrims, the Kingdom's leadership does not give importance to those empty voices that call each year with different claims in an attempt to sabotage the Hajj season and then blame the Kingdom. Perhaps the most notable of these claims is the call from those voices regarding the unimportance of obtaining permits to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, as they lie in wait throughout the days of Hajj to catch a mistake here or there to exaggerate and inflate it.
There are many services provided by the Kingdom to the guests of Allah, covering various fields; perhaps the most important of these are healthcare services aimed at providing immediate medical care to pilgrims and responding to emergencies wherever and whenever they arise, as part of an integrated system known as the Guests of Allah Services Program. This program seeks to serve pilgrims on multiple levels and in various fields, with one of the most important being transportation and logistics services, which include attention to airports and trains that transport pilgrims, as well as buses and taxis.
Planning for the Hajj season does not begin as the season approaches, as some may think, but is an ongoing effort throughout the year that encompasses many aspects and aims to develop services in general in both the short and long term. The development and enhancement of infrastructure in the Kingdom, updating facilities, and building more of them, along with the focus on upgrading digital services and implementing new technologies, is an effort added to the series of efforts made specifically to serve the guests of Allah, whether for Hajj or Umrah, who come every year in very large numbers that the Kingdom has managed to handle, facilitating the performance of their rituals with ease and comfort.
One noteworthy initiative is the Makkah Route, which is also included in the Guests of Allah Services Program, aimed at providing high-quality services to pilgrims wishing to benefit from this initiative by completing their pilgrimage procedures in their home countries, starting from the electronic issuance of visas until they are finalized at the departure airport. This initiative deserves praise as it significantly eases many lengthy and exhausting procedures for pilgrims upon their arrival in the Kingdom. Through it, pilgrims can perform the rituals of Hajj without facing the hassle of congestion upon arrival, as they are transported directly from the Kingdom's airports to their places of residence while service agencies take care of delivering their luggage to their accommodations.
There is no doubt that serving the pilgrims of the Sacred House of Allah is an honor that God has bestowed upon the Kingdom, both leadership and people. Each achievement made year after year adds to the series of successes it achieves on all fronts annually, which aligns with its political, economic, cultural, and sports efforts to attain the position it deserves among all nations. The profound appreciation shown by Syrian pilgrims, who expressed their gratitude and repeatedly thanked the Kingdom's leadership for its success in lifting economic sanctions on Syria, is a clear testament that the efforts of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are bearing fruit. The Syrian people will not forget the Kingdom's support alongside them, both leadership and people, to help them rid themselves of the heavy legacy of the fallen Ba'ath Party regime.
The Kingdom's relentless efforts to improve Hajj services year after year, which have not spared any effort in practicing them with skill and creativity, are merely part of the role it plays regionally and globally as a key player in international affairs, aiming to establish the foundations of peace, especially in the Middle East. These efforts have indeed been crowned with real success, as the Kingdom has been and remains an oasis of safety and stability, seeking nothing but security and stability for brotherly nations.
