RIYADH: Pakistan’s President Dr. Arif Alvi recently visited Madinah and performed prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Upon his arrival at the mosque, Alvi was received by key Saudi officials.

The Pakistani president and members of his family and staff arrived in Jeddah last week to perform the Hajj pilgrimage.

Every Muslim is obligated to perform Hajj once in their lifetime if they are physically and financially able to do so.

This year more than 1.8 million Muslims from around the world traveled to the holy city of Makkah for the sacred pilgrimage, which is one of the five pillars of Islam.
