In the midst of serving Indonesian Hajj pilgrims in Saudi Arabia,\nMuhaimin received devastating news: his beloved wife, Diana Maf\u2019ulla,\nhad passed away in their homeland. Yet, the Hajj Organising Officer\n(PPIH) for Saudi Arabia chose to remain in the Holy Land to fulfil the\nmandate entrusted to him.<\/p>\n
The decision was far from easy. At a time when most would rush home\nto be with family, Muhaimin had to suppress his longing and grief while\ncontinuing to serve hundreds of thousands of Indonesian pilgrims until\nhis assignment ends on 2 July 2026.<\/p>\n
This difficult choice earned the respect of Deputy Minister of Hajj\nand Umrah, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak. On Friday (12\/6\/2026), Dahnil\nvisited the late Diana Maf\u2019ulla\u2019s family home in Malang, East Java, to\noffer condolences in person.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of the entire family of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and\nall Indonesian Hajj officers, we extend our deepest condolences on the\npassing of the late Ibu Diana Maf\u2019ulla. May Allah SWT forgive all her\nshortcomings, accept her deeds of worship, and grant her the best place\nby His side,\u201d Dahnil said in an official statement.<\/p>\n
During the visit, Dahnil met the deceased\u2019s daughter, Mia, and other\nrelatives. He admitted he was moved by the family\u2019s fortitude in letting\ngo of a mother while accepting that the father must still carry out his\nduties in a distant land.<\/p>\n
According to Dahnil, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah had actually\ngiven Muhaimin the option to return home immediately after receiving the\nnews. However, Muhaimin chose to continue his service until the end of\nhis assignment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe actually gave him the opportunity to return to Indonesia. But he\nchose to complete his service in the Holy Land until his assignment\nends. This is a decision born of a profound sense of responsibility\ntowards the mandate he is carrying,\u201d Dahnil said.<\/p>\n
For Dahnil, the decision reveals a side of Hajj officers\u2019 dedication\nthat is rarely seen. Behind the services received by pilgrims, there are\nofficers who willingly spend months apart from their families and even\nface severe personal trials.<\/p>\n
Because of this, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah extends its highest\nrespect to Muhaimin and all Indonesian Hajj officers who continue to\nwork serving pilgrims amidst various challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are here not only to convey condolences, but also as a mark of\nrespect to the family who have supported his service,\u201d Dahnil\nstated.<\/p>\n
Amid the grief enveloping the family, Muhaimin\u2019s resilience serves as\na reminder that Hajj service is not merely an administrative task. It\ncarries a mandate, dedication, and sacrifice that sometimes must be paid\nwith a longing that cannot be immediately resolved.<\/p>\n
Dahnil also invited the public to pray for the deceased, that she may\nreceive husnul khatimah, and for the bereaved family to be granted\nsincerity and strength in facing this trial.<\/p>\n
\u201cInna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji\u2019un. May Allah SWT grant mercy and\nforgiveness to the late Ibu Diana Maf\u2019ulla, and may the family left\nbehind be given fortitude and strength,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/hajj-officer-continues-duties-in-saudi-arabia-despite-wifes-passing-1781279525", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
