The deputy prime minister and foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, said on Wednesday that Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman is likely to visit Pakistan soon. Dar confirmed that the date of the Saudi Prince’s visit will be finalised this month.
“InshaAllah, the visit is due [and] I believe we may receive final dates [of the visit from Saudi Arabia] anytime in May,” Dar said while addressing the media at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad on Tuesday.
The Saudi crown prince, also known as MBS, will visit Pakistan for the first time in five years. His last visit to the country was in February 2019, when Imran Khan was prime minister.
The deputy prime minister mentioned that during a recent meeting in Makkah, Pakistan’s delegation met with the Saudi crown prince. He assured Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif that he will visit Pakistan soon.
In a recent post on Instagram, Aagha Ali talked about something people get wrong about him. He made it clear that he was never engaged to anyone, even though rumors to the effect were going around a few years ago. He thanked his followers for supporting him during a tough time and wanted to make sure everyone knew the truth.
Aagha shared that the relationship he ended in 2018 wasn’t an engagement. “Thanks for your nice messages. Just to make it clear: I was never engaged to anyone, and I didn’t say anything about that.”
Aagha wanted to clear things up after getting lots of support when he talked about a tough time he went through. He felt grateful for all the kindness from his fans. He wanted to make sure everyone knew the truth about his past relationship. He talked about this during a TV show in Ramadan, where he shared how hard things were for him in 2018, the problems he faced and how they changed him. Looking back at the tough year, Aagha said, “I’m in a place now where I can talk about this. In 2018, I put almost all my money into something, like 80-90 percent of what I had in my bank. I was also in a relationship. But 2018 took all of that away from me.” Facing both money problems and personal struggles, Aagha also had to deal with people saying negative things about him in the entertainment industry. He said, “My reputation in the industry was ruined. Almost everyone talked about me in a bad way. On social media, people made me out to be a bad guy. I gained a lot of weight. I wasn’t taking care of myself at all.”
But even in the tough times, Aagha found peace and a fresh start in a holy place – a trip to Makkah. “In 2018, I went for Umrah. After that, I felt closer to God. That trip changed my life and how I saw things,” he said. He talked about how this spiritual journey changed his outlook and actions, helping him let go of negativity and find a new purpose. “My whole way of living, how I dealt with things, my personality, my anger – all the bad stuff in my life disappeared,” he said.
Thankful for how faith changed him, Aagha said, “I prayed that things would get better because I didn’t mean harm, and only God knew that. During Umrah, I prayed and cried a lot.” He talked about how much he’s changed since then. “If someone looks at a picture of me from 2018 and compares it to now, they’ll see the difference,” he said.
Aima Baig, the sensational Pakistani singer, has once again embarked to Saudi Arabia for an Umrah and this time, she’s taking her father along.
Aima is currently in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah with her father by her side. Last year, during Rabbi-ul-Awal, she went on the sacred journey. Aima has been flooding our feeds with heartwarming Umrah pictures featuring her beloved dad. She’s been gushing about her Umrah experience in detail, sharing her joy with the world.
Aima didn’t shy away from addressing the elephant in the room – her tattoos! In her captions, she mentioned performing Umrah despite having inked skin. And to all the trolls out there, she had a witty comeback: “Allah invited me, not you!”
Algeria has finally opened the third-biggest mosque in the world and the largest in Africa, ahead of the holy month of Ramzan, according to Al Jazeera.
The inauguration of the mosque has taken several days due to unrest in the country. The Grand Mosque of Algiers was formally opened on Monday by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.
Djamaa El-Djazair is how the locals refer to it, and it can house up to 120,000 worshippers at once. With a height of 265 meters (869 feet), it has the highest minaret in the world.
After seven years of construction, a vast modernist building spanning approximately 70 acres was completed, with marble and wood elements along with Arabic and North African architectural elements.
It even has a library large enough to house a million volumes and a helipad. The massive structure was built by a Chinese firm, reportedly costing around $900 million.
It is being marketed as the third-biggest mosque worldwide, following the holy mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s mosque in Madina, both located in Saudi Arabia.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi has shared a stunning video of Makkah, Madina and Jeddah sparkling in the night as seen from space.
AlNeyadi has been posting images on his Twitter account since he went off to space in March.
In his latest Twitter post, AlNeyadi wrote: “Dedication to the country of the Two Holy Mosques, the landing site of revelation and the land of the message, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

The video shows a clear image of twinkling lights and many roads.
“This is the city of Jeddah, often referred to as the Bride of the Red Sea,” says AlNeyadi as he moves the camera towards the second city. “… the holy city of Makkah, where the message of Islam took root with the Prophet (PBUH).”
AlNeyadi then points out the light from the Masjid Al Haram which can be seen shining bright even from space.
“They are shining like stars, and it is one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen,” he wrote.
As a large number of faithful Muslims due to the ongoing month of Ramzan, a new center has been established near the Grand Mosque to provide childcare services for pilgrims in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, This is the first time such a facility has been set up in the vicinity of Islam’s holiest site.
The newly established center for taking care of worshippers’ children is located within the Third Saudi Extension of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It began operating in the middle of Ramadan and is being run with the assistance and oversight of competent government organizations. The facility is specifically designed to look after children who are six years old or younger while their parents engage in Umrah or other religious practices within the mosque, which is the site of the Holy Kaaba.
According to Razan Al Dahlawi, the manager of the center located in the courtyards of the Grand Mosque, it is the first of its kind and is well-equipped to provide a safe environment for children. The center offers a free service for the first three hours, but details about the fees for a longer service were not provided.
According to news reports, Nawaz Sharif will spend the last Ashara of Ramzan in Saudi Arabia. The former prime minister will reach Jeddah along with his family on April 11.
Nawaz will be in Jeddah and Makkah for three days, and then on April 15, he will go to Madina.
