Prospective Hajj pilgrims from Bekasi Regency are scheduled to depart\nfor Mecca on Saturday (2\/5\/2026) at 15:00 Saudi Arabia time.<\/p>\n
Bekasi Regency (ANTARA) - The Bekasi Regency Government in West Java\nhas ensured full support for Hajj pilgrims originating from the area,\nfrom the departure process to their return to the homeland.<\/p>\n
This was stated by the Secretary of Bekasi Regency, Endin Samsudin,\nduring the send-off of 440 prospective Hajj pilgrims grouped in\nDeparture Group (Kloter) 14 at the Swatantra Wibawa Mukti building, in\nthe Bekasi Regency office complex, on Friday (1\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
He emphasised that the local government does not only play a role in\nthe send-off ceremony but also ensures that all pilgrims receive\nattention and supervision while performing worship in the holy land\nuntil they return to Bekasi Regency in good health.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not just sending them off, but also ensuring that support\ncontinues. From local Hajj officers, group leaders, to squad leaders,\nthey are asked to provide maximum attention to all pilgrims,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to relying on officers, pilgrims are also urged to look\nafter and remind each other, given the conditions in the holy land that\nbring together millions of Muslims from various countries,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
The Bekasi Regency Local Hajj Companion, Mochamad Arif Ichwani, said\nthat the pilgrims from the early group in the area are currently\nfollowing the entire series of optional worship and visits before\ndeparting for Mecca to begin the main Hajj rituals.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll our prospective Hajj pilgrims are in safe and controlled\nconditions, both in terms of health and worship comfort, with full\nsupport from the officers,\u201d he said when contacted from Cikarang.<\/p>\n
According to him, the atmosphere in Medina City is still relatively\nquiet, as the Bekasi Regency pilgrims are among the early departing\ngroups, allowing them to perform worship more comfortably, including\nduring visits and prayers at the Prophet\u2019s Mosque.<\/p>\n
However, there are significant challenges faced by the accompanying\nofficers related to weather and pilgrim mobility, especially when\nassisting elderly prospective Hajj pilgrims and those with high health\nrisks.<\/p>\n
\u201cSignificant temperature changes are the main concern while in the\nholy land. The weather in Medina is actually still cold, but it\u2019s\nstarting to turn hot, plus strong winds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition to health issues, another challenge now attracting\nattention is assisting with the creation of the Nusuk application for\npilgrims. This application is an important requirement for accessing\nseveral worship services, including entry to the Raudhah in the\nProphet\u2019s Mosque.<\/p>\n
\u201cProspective Hajj pilgrims certainly receive the Nusuk Lil Hajj card\nfor Hajj, but there is a new policy for entering the Raudhah that\nrequires using Nusuk Lil Raudhoh. This is a major challenge, especially\nfor elderly pilgrims and those who are still not tech-savvy,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
He explained that the Nusuk service is used for three main purposes:\naccess to Raudhah, Umrah, and performing Hajj. The limitation of Tasreh\nquotas provided by the Prophet\u2019s Mosque management to the Indonesian\nHajj Organising Committee (PPIH) is also an obstacle because the number\nis not comparable to the total number of pilgrims.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, the Bekasi Regency pilgrims from Kloter 03 KJT only\nreceived 30, then added 36, then 15 more. That\u2019s very insufficient\ncompared to the 445 people including officers. Therefore, support for\npilgrims is very important,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bekasi-regency-ensures-full-support-for-hajj-pilgrims-1777647115", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
