Saudi Arabia has started announcing daily winners of its global Nusuk competition, which offers 100 free Umrah trips for two people and 10,000 cartons of Zamzam water. The competition began on November 1, 2026, and is conducted through the official Nusuk application under the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. This initiative aims to engage Muslims worldwide through Islamic knowledge and provide opportunities to visit Makkah and Madinah.
The competition has attracted interest among Muslims, particularly those hoping to perform Umrah but may not have the financial means. As of November 9, at least nine participants had emerged as winners of the Umrah packages, while 40 others had received Zamzam water prizes. Winners include Ahmed Elsaid Mokhtar, Rahima B. of Bangladesh, Loubna Ahna of Morocco, Naveed Fazal of Pakistan, and Hanaa Salah.
The Umrah prize is designed for two people, allowing each successful participant to nominate a companion for the pilgrimage. The package covers visa arrangements, return flight tickets, and 10 nights of accommodation in Makkah and Madinah. The Zamzam category offers another opportunity for participants to receive the blessed water, with each recipient allocated 20 cartons.
To participate, users must download the official Nusuk application, sign in, locate the competition, and accept its terms and conditions. They can then select a quiz category, use their daily key to access a question, and submit the correct answer for an opportunity to enter the prize draw. Participants can also use the referral feature to obtain additional keys.
The competition is scheduled to run from November 1 to December 20, 2026. Muslims have been urged to distinguish the official Nusuk initiative from fraudulent promotions. The Saudi government's National Platform lists the Nusuk Quiz as a free service provided by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
With the growing popularity of free Umrah offers online, Muslims are advised not to pay registration, processing, activation, or prize-collection fees to individuals claiming to represent the competition. They should also avoid sharing sensitive personal documents through unofficial links or social media accounts.
The competition offers Muslims worldwide an opportunity to engage with Islamic knowledge while seeking a chance to visit Makkah and Madinah. Participants are encouraged to verify every announcement through official channels to avoid falling victim to fraudulent offers. The Saudi government's National Platform provides contact details for the Nusuk Quiz service.
