Hundreds of worshipers from various organizations and ethnic groups packed BNI Hall at Admiralty, Hong Kong, some time ago. Event initiated by Dompet Dhuafa (DD) Hong Kong in collaboration with the Hajj Foundation and IKJHI (Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims Family Association) in Hong Kong is part of a series of activities for the Halal Bihalal Eid al-Fitr 1444 H.
The General Manager of DD Hong Kong, M. Imam Baihaqi, hopes that this activity can foster friendly relations between DD Hong Kong and various Indonesian communities in Hong Kong SAR and Macau. Also, other ethnicities such as citizens of Singapore, Malaysia, and others.
"Apart from that, this activity is part of Hajj-Umroh and Qurban education, so that pilgrims can maximize this special Dzulhijjah worship while traveling to Baitullah," said Imam.
The former leader of DD Hong Kong, Ustadz Ahmad Fauzi Qosim, was present at the event as a trainer. On that occasion the Secretary of the DD Sharia Council delivered several materials, including the virtues of practice in the month of Dzulhijjah, the history of the pilgrimage and sacrifice orders, as well as the virtues of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. He also guides the congregation to practice a series of Hajj and Umrah rituals.
The head of the Hajj Foundation, Yolvis Sahardi, who was also present, motivated the pilgrims to be able to perform Hajj from anywhere, including taking advantage of the opportunities to perform Hajj from Hong Kong available to Indonesians living in Hong Kong and Macau. Of course, following the provisions imposed by the Saudi Arabian Consulate in Hong Kong. Among them, the pilgrimage from a minority country is carried out through a local travel agent registered at the Saudi Embassy/Consulate in that country.
The event ended with remembrance and prayer together, shaking hands, and forgiving each other. (AFQ).
