Fajarasia.co – The Regent of Pasaman, H. Benny Utama released as many as 133 pilgrims from Pasaman Regency in 1443 H/2022 AD, to the Padang Hajj Dormitory at the Lubuk Attitude Mosque (6/6/2022).
The Hajj pilgrims from Pasaman Regency are members of the first 4 (four) batch of flying groups with Pasaman Barat Regency, Solok Regency and Padang City.
The Regent of Pasaman, H. Benny Utama, in his speech said, he prayed that all pilgrims would leave in good health and return in good health and safety later and become a mabrur hajj.
He also added that carrying out the pilgrimage for Muslims is solely because of the call of Allah SWT, therefore not all Muslims can perform the pilgrimage, even though they have the ability in terms of economy, health and opportunities.
“There are really many people who are economically, physically and spiritually capable, but because there is no opportunity to carry out the pilgrimage, they have not been able to fulfill the fifth pillar of Islam,” said Benny Utama.
The Regent of Pasaman conveyed several messages to the pilgrims, namely, set intentions and be sincere, solely out of hope for the pleasure of Allah SWT, so that they truly carry it out in accordance with the pillars of Hajj, as well as instructions for the implementation of Hajj when carrying out Hajj rituals, so that after returning to their homeland they will receive Mabrur Hajj predicate.
With information and communication technology that is so sophisticated today, of course, prospective pilgrims can communicate at any time with their families, but don’t let this interfere with the solemnity of the Hajj. (Gani)
