"I'm thrilled to accept the endorsement of these highly respected leaders," Trump told the thundering crowd.

The group of leaders cited Trump's commitment to ending wars and ensuring global peace as a primary reason for their support, describing him as a leader who "promises peace, not war."

"We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine," Alzuhairi said. "The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason."

Mayor Bill Bazzi, the first Muslim and Arab American elected mayor of Dearborn Heights, Michigan was also present at the rally to express support for Trump.

"What a nice endorsement," Trump said after Bazzi's speech. "These are great people."

"Though it's looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time," Ghalib wrote in Arabic on his Facebook page. "I'll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I'm ready to face the consequences. For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next President of the United States, Donald Trump."

Ghalib's endorsement of Trump comes after the two met in Flint earlier this week for a private 20-minute conversation. 

Ghalib told The Detroit News that Trump "knew a lot about me before the meeting." 

The critical swing state of Michigan has seen record-breaking early voting numbers so far.
