"All of Makkah is Haram" is the name of the commission's awareness campaign, and it was announced on the occasion of the enormous reward for performing prayer in all mosques in the entire area inside the boundaries of the Haram.
- The commission highlighted that all visitors, pilgrims, and Makkah residents should pray in one of the mosques within the Haram to truly appreciate its greatness, as each mosque serves as a gateway to the Holy Capital, Makkah.
- Praying in any of the mosques in Makkah that are situated within the Haram's borders can bring you tremendous reward, according to the commission. “The spirituality that the pilgrims find in Makkah extends beyond the Grand Mosque and covers all other mosques, including the Ayesha Al-Rajhi Mosque, Al-Balad Al-Amin Complex Mosque, Abdul Qadir Al-Nusair Mosque, Al-Muhajireen Mosque, King Abdulaziz Mosque, Princess Fahda Al-Sudairi Mosque, and Sheikh Ibn Baz Mosque," it said.

- The campaign's goal is to educate tourists and Umrah pilgrims about Makkah's spiritual qualities, the great reward for performing rituals there, the religious attractions within the Haram boundary, and the sanctity of these spots, so that every spot within the Haram boundaries has spiritual significance.
- It is worth mentioning that the boundaries of the Makkah Haram stretch north of Makkah for up to five kilometers to Al-Tanim, west for up to eighteen kilometers towards the Jeddah governorate, south for up to twenty kilometers towards the holy site of Arafat from the Grand Mosque, and east for up to fourteen and a half kilometers at Jaarana. It is said that 560 square kilometers make up the whole Haram.
- According to the commission, the campaign's inspiration comes from a belief in the collective and personal responsibility to honor these holy sites as signs of God and to raise awareness among tourists and pilgrims of their sacredness. Every location within the Haram's confines has spiritual significance, and this is something the campaign hopes to bring attention to. Read : Saudi Arabia prohibits repeating Umrah during Ramadan
