This huge digital operation goes through the well-known and trusted Manarat Al-Haramain website.
These are Islamic smart broadcasting services which broadcast high-definition, crystal clear video feeds straight from the pulpit of Masjid Namirah. The audio track can easily be selected from a very user-friendly drop-down menu. In addition, these new portals are fully mobile-friendly, so that anyone with a reliable internet connection can easily enjoy the Holy site online viewing, from the comfort of their own homes or on the commute to work.
Leveraging Platforms for Holy site online viewing
Several government websites will be dedicated to the official feed, and several networks and trusted news agencies, including the Gulf News, will do much of the syndication of the official feed. Islamic smart broadcasting services are integrated well into popular social networks so that the maximum global reach is achieved. The official Nusuk Portal also offers direct streaming links and accurate timing details for all the major rituals, ensuring you do not miss any moment of your Holy site online viewing, with a high level of centralisation and organisation.
