        "content": "<p>Tenggarong, East Kalimantan (ANTARA) - The Kutai Kartanegara Regency\nGovernment (Pemkab Kukar) in East Kalimantan is facilitating the\ntransportation and catering needs of 268 prospective hajj pilgrims from\nthe region throughout their departure from the regency to their return\nto their places of origin. \u201cThis transportation and catering service is\na form of respect from Pemkab Kukar to the guests of Allah. We do not\nwant any technical obstacles to disrupt the pilgrims\u2019 devotion in the\nHoly Land,\u201d said Kukar Regent Aulia Rahman Basri in Tenggarong on\nSunday. The 268 hajj pilgrims come from 20 sub-districts in Kukar. Their\ndeparture is divided into two flying groups (kloter), namely Kloter 6\ndeparting on 4 May and Kloter 15 on 17 May 2026. They will be\naccompanied by six reliable officials who have been trained and\nexperienced, consisting of the kloter leader, worship guides, health\npersonnel, and local hajj officials. During the send-off of the 268th\nprospective hajj pilgrims at the Grand Mosque of Sultan Aji Muhammad\nSulaiman in Tenggarong on Thursday (23\/4), the regent advised the hajj\nofficials to serve the pilgrims as if serving their own parents,\nemphasising sincerity. \u201cPlease pray that Kutai Kartanegara Regency is\nalways protected by Allah, made a better regency, with its people\nincreasingly prosperous, and kept away from all calamities. The prayer\nfrom the lips of someone performing hajj is a prayer that pierces the\nheavens without barriers,\u201d said Aulia. He continued that one thing that\nmust be deeply understood is that the hajj pilgrimage is not merely a\nphysical journey across continents or an ordinary religious tour. \u201cIn\nessence, hajj is a grand response to Allah\u2019s call, a spiritual journey\nthat brings the deepest longing of a servant to a direct invitation from\nthe Creator,\u201d he stated. He also noted that this year\u2019s hajj\norganisation feels special because it is carried out based on Law No.\u00a014\nof 2025 on the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah Worship. \u201cThis\nregulatory change is to ensure that the performance of worship is truly\nprotected, served, and nurtured with better quality than in previous\nyears. Therefore, I want the pilgrims to focus on just one thing, namely\nworshipping as devotedly as possible,\u201d the regent added.<\/p>",
