Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud covered the cost of sacrificial animals for 4,951 people from 92 countries who performed Hajj this year under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Guests Program for Hajj and Umrah, implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, the Saudi Press Agency reported Wednesday.

The gesture is yet another proof of the King's generosity, SPA quoted Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance Sheikh Dr. Abdullatif bin Abdulaziz Al Al-Sheikh as saying.

Al Al-Sheikh, who is also the general supervisor of the program, said that the continuous generosity shown by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques attests to his care for his Muslim brothers and his keenness to cover all their needs and help them perform Hajj.

Rare Purple-Flowered 'Zilla' Spotted in Saudi Northern Borders Region

Zilla, the plant with striking purple flowers, has recently been spotted in the serene valleys of the Northern Borders region.
The rare and beautiful plant is often called locally "shabram".
The chairman of the board of directors of the Aman Environmental Association, Nasser bin Arshid Al-Majlad, said that the Northern Borders region, with its diverse terrain, supports a variety of plant life, each with its unique value. Zilla, in particular, plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, providing nectar for bees and forage for livestock, especially camels. However, due to overgrazing and other factors, the population of this plant has declined significantly in recent years, SPA reported.
The Aman Environmental Association is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of preserving the region's natural heritage. By highlighting the beauty and ecological significance of plants like the Zilla, the association aims to inspire individuals to take action and protect the environment.
