Imam-e-Kaaba Sheikh Saleh Al Humaid, the custodian of Islam’s holiest site, landed in the federal capital on 4-day visit to further strengthen the brotherly relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
Apart from meeting the country’s senior leadership, Sheikh Saleh will also lead the Friday Prayer at Islamabad’s Faisal Mosque.
Born in the Saudi city of Buraydah, the distinguished dignitary became a Hafiz-e-Quran at age 20. He holds Masters and PhD degrees from Makkah’s Umm Al Qurra University and was appointed an imam in Masjid Al Haram in 1983.
