Honored by the Imam of Haram H.E. Sheikh Sudais and Imam of Prophet Mosque Sheikh Abdulbari Al Thubaity for AI for Haram

Deeply honored to be personally recognized by two of the most esteemed Islamic scholars and leaders in the world:

  • H.E. Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais — Imam of the Grand Mosque (Al-Masjid Al-Haram), Makkah
  • Sheikh Abdulbari Al Thubaity — Imam of Al-Masjid An-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque), Madinah

This recognition was awarded for outstanding contributions in deploying Artificial Intelligence to serve and protect the Two Holy Mosques — including AI-powered crowd management, intelligent pilgrim safety systems, and smart services for millions of pilgrims during Hajj and Umrah seasons.

This honor represents the convergence of cutting-edge technology with the service of the most sacred sites in Islam — a milestone that reflects Advanced Media Lab's mission to apply AI for the benefit of humanity.
