MAKKAH – Every year, millions of Muslims from around the world embark on the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj to fulfill their religious obligations. It is a time of profound spiritual significance, but amid the vast sea of pilgrims, there are sometimes stories of unfortunate events. In the case of three Indonesian pilgrims, Idun Rohim Zen, Suharja Wardi Ardi, and Niron Sunar Suna, their journey took an unexpected turn as they went missing during their sacred pilgrimage.
Idun Rohim Zen (87) from Embarkation Palembang Kloter 20 (PLM 20), Suharja Wardi Ardi (69) from Embarkation Kertajati Kloter 10, and Niron Sunar Suna (77) from Embarkation Surabaya Kloter 65 (SUB 65) were reported missing during the Hajj pilgrimage. Families and authorities were in a frantic search to locate them, hoping for their safe return.
Unfortunately, the search for one of the lost pilgrims took a heartbreaking turn. Niron Sunar Suna's lifeless body was found at An Nur Hospital. The news of his passing sent shockwaves through the community of fellow pilgrims and their families. His remains were laid to rest at Soraya Cemetery in Makkah, a final resting place for those who have completed their pilgrimage.
Harun al Rasyid, Head of Hajj Pilgrim Protection Division (Kabid Linjam) at the Indonesian Hajj Management Office (PPIH) in Saudi Arabia, expressed the ongoing efforts to locate the missing pilgrims. The search area has been extended to Jeddah, considering the possibility that the missing individuals may have ventured beyond Makkah. Authorities are even considering exploring areas in Thaif in their search for the missing pilgrims.
In the midst of mourning the loss of Niron Sunar Suna and the uncertainty surrounding the whereabouts of Idun Rohim Zen and Suharja Wardi Ardi, it is essential to reflect on the significance of the Hajj pilgrimage. Hajj is not merely a physical journey but a profound spiritual experience, where Muslims seek forgiveness, renewal, and a deeper connection to their faith.
Amidst the challenges faced by these pilgrims and their families, the unity and support within the global Muslim community shine through. Prayers, well wishes, and collective efforts continue to pour in, reminding us of the strength and compassion that unites people from all corners of the globe during this extraordinary journey.
The case of the lost pilgrims during Hajj is a stark reminder of the unpredictability of life's journey. As the search efforts expand to find Idun Rohim Zen and Suharja Wardi Ardi, the community remains hopeful for their safe return. In this sacred and solemn pilgrimage, let us remember the dedication and faith that drive millions of Muslims from all walks of life to embark on this transformative journey. May those who have been lost find solace, and may the spirit of unity and support continue to guide those on their path to Hajj.
