Visiting Saudi Arabian Imam Sheikh Abdul Muhsin Al Qasim has brought a message of hope to Zambia as the country battles a devastating drought that has left over nine million people facing hunger and struggling with prolonged electricity blackouts due to low water levels in the Kariba.
During his sermon at Lusaka’s Jaame Mosque, Sheikh Al Qasim urged believers to continue praying for divine intervention, seeking God’s mercy and rain to alleviate the suffering.
The Imam’s words come at a time when Zambia faces one of its driest agricultural seasons in over 40 years, with more than nine million people affected across 84 districts.
The drought has resulted in significant crop losses, increased livestock deaths, and worsening poverty.
Sheikh Al Qasim also emphasized the importance of unity and peaceful coexistence among Muslims and non-Muslims, stressing that harmony is essential for development.

After delivering his sermon and leading prayers, many people eagerly gathered to shake hands with him, showing their appreciation for his message before he was driven away under Zambia Police Service escort.
Sheikh Abdul Muhsin Al Qasim serves as an imam at the revered Nabawi Mosque, a sacred site originally constructed by the Islamic Prophet Muhammad in the Saudi Arabian city of Madinah.
This esteemed mosque stands as one of Saudi Arabia’s two most revered places of worship, alongside the Haram Mosque in Mecca, founded by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael.
These historic mosques hold profound spiritual significance, representing the cornerstone of Islamic faith and heritage.
