What You Can Watch Live from the Haram

  • Tawaf around the Kaaba — pilgrims circling the Kaaba day and night.
  • The five daily prayers led by the imams of Masjid al-Haram, such as Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, Maher Al-Muaiqly, Yasser Al-Dosari and Bandar Baleela.
  • Jumu'ah — the Friday khutbah and prayer from the Haram.
  • Ramadan — Taraweeh, Qiyam al-Layl and the completion of the Quran (khatm) on the last nights.
  • Hajj and Umrah seasons — the crowds of pilgrims during the days of Hajj and the busy Umrah months.

Makkah follows Arabia Standard Time (GMT+3), which is 2 hours behind Pakistan and 2½ hours behind India. Fajr, Maghrib and Isha are the most moving times to watch, when the imams recite aloud.

The Status of Masjid al-Haram

Masjid al-Haram is the first house of worship built for mankind and the qiblah of every Muslim. Allah says: "Indeed, the first House established for mankind was that at Bakkah — blessed and a guidance for the worlds." (Aal Imran 3:96)

The Prophet ﷺ said: "A prayer in my mosque is better than a thousand prayers elsewhere, except al-Masjid al-Haram, and a prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram is better than a hundred thousand prayers elsewhere." (Sunan Ibn Majah 1406, sahih)

He ﷺ also said: "Do not set out on a journey except to three mosques: al-Masjid al-Haram, this mosque of mine, and al-Masjid al-Aqsa." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1189, Sahih Muslim 1397)
