Sheikh Ahmad Al-Hudhaifi to Deliver Friday Sermon at the Prophet’s Mosque on 14 Dhul Qa’dah i.e 01 May 2026.
The Imam of Masjid al-Nabawi is confirmed to lead this week's Jumu'ah prayer in Madinah on 14 Dhul Qa'dah 1447 AH.
The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques has announced that Sheikh Dr. Ahmad bin Ali Al-Hudhaifi, Imam and Khateeb of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, will deliver this Friday’s sermon and lead the Jumu’ah prayer at Masjid al-Nabawi.
The prayer is scheduled for 14 Dhul Qa’dah 1447 AH – falling in the final days of Dhul Qa’dah, just weeks before the start of Dhul Hijjah and the Hajj season. At this time of year, Madinah sees a significant rise in the number of pilgrims and visitors arriving to pray at the Prophet’s Mosque before heading to Makkah for Hajj.
As is standard practice, a reserve Khateeb has also been officially named for this week. Sheikh Dr. Abdul Bari bin Awwad Al-Thubayti will serve as the standby preacher, ready to step in if needed.
Sheikh Ahmad Al-Hudhaifi is a respected and experienced Imam at Masjid al-Nabawi, well known for his distinctive recitation and sincere delivery. His Friday sermons are broadcast live each week and followed closely by Muslims around the world through television and digital platforms.
