Muslims globally, should pray for Allah's protection against the possible negative impacts on Hajj 2026, highlighting the potential risks and consequences of President Trump's threat of military action in Nigeria.

- Irreversibility: The use of military force can have long-lasting consequences, making it challenging to restore peace and stability in the region.

- Opacity: The lack of transparency and clear objectives may lead to unintended consequences and mistrust among local communities.

- Risk of Unintended Consequences: The plan may lead to increased terrorism, displacement of people, and humanitarian crises.

Recommendations for Muslims:

- Pray regularly through Alqunut: Include special prayers in daily prayers, especially during Jumu'ah and five daily prayers, asking Allah SWT for protection from President Trump's vows and any potential harm.

- Khutba sermons: Imams should address the issue in Friday sermons, urging congregants to pray for peace, stability, and protection in Nigeria.

- Qunut supplications: Recite Qunut supplications during prayers, seeking Allah's mercy and protection from harm.

- Community prayers: Organize community-wide prayers and vigils to seek Allah's intervention and protection.

Protecting Hajj 2026 Operations:

- Increased security measures: The Saudi government and Nigerian authorities should increase security measures to ensure pilgrims' safety.

- Diplomatic efforts: Diplomatic efforts between Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and other international partners should continue to ensure the safety and success of Hajj 2026 operations.

- Alternative routes: Pilgrims may need to explore alternative routes or travel arrangements to ensure their safety.
