When the pilgrims became the library of the elderly congregation in the Holy Land

Makkah – The few pilgrims from Bogor, Sooemarno (93) and Yeti (68) were confused because they were left behind by the group until they did not perform the compulsory Umrah, although they were in Mecca. ASA Sooemarno and Yeti reinforced again when they met the elderly service officer, Abdurrahman. Yeti and her husband have arrived since Wednesday (5/28/2025) and stayed in Hotel 701, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Yeti said that she could not leave her husband who was elderly and that she had experienced limitations of vision, hearing and movement. Yeti also had to help all her husband’s needs, ranging from eating, bathing and others. Photo: Hajj -officers serve the elderly pilgrims (haris/detikcom) “Yes eating, bathing, everything. Yes, change clothes. Wednesday night continues in the sector,” Yeti said. Browse to continue with the content Yeti said that his group of Umrah performed shortly after arriving in Makkah. However, he missed information so that he did not follow the group. She claims to accompany her husband in the room. Yeti was worried if he had to leave her husband alone in the room. Two days, Yeti and her husband have not yet performed the compulsory Umrah, although they took Mikan before entering Mecca. “Initially we were in the room together until it was. There was no input, go on to pray, finally my dad put it down,” he said. Yeti said she brought her husband to the hotel foyer on Thursday (5/29/2025). While in the foyer, he met with the elderly pilgrims, Abdurrahman. He said at the time, Abdurrahman asked if Sumarno, who slept in a wheelchair, was ill. Yeti then explained the problem he experienced. “Because he fell asleep in the chair, he thought it was sick. The arrival of Mr. Abdurrahman, ‘he said. Abdurrahman invited a long story short to invite Yeti and Soemarno immediately to perform the compulsory Umrah at night. The spirit of Yeti and Soemarno reinforced again after receiving the offer of help from Abdurrahman. Abdurrahman then prepared all the needs of Umrah for Sooemarno. Indonesian pilgrims usually perform Umrah at night to prevent fatigue due to heat reaching 45 degrees Celsius in the afternoon until evening. Besides Saemarno, there are three other elderly worshipers who also received special services for Umrah at the same time. At about 9pm, Saudi Arabia, Soemarno, Yeti and three other elderly pilgrims were taken out of the hotel to be ready for the big mosque. They got on a special bus that easily rode on wheelchair users to get to the Grand Mosque. The journey starts from the front of the 701 hotel to the Jabal Kakbah terminals. After arriving Saudi Arabia at Jabal Kakbah terminals at about 22:00, Abdurrahman immediately lowered Semarno who used a wheelchair from the bus. The distance from the terminal to the Grand Mosque is about 500 meters with uphill roads. Abdurrahman enthusiastically pushed the Sooemarno wheelchair to the Tawaf area on the 2nd floor of the Grand Mosque, specifically for wheelchair users. Before entering the Tawaf area, Abdurrahman led Sooemarno to pick up the Talbiyah sentence. He also took Zamzam water to Sooemarno and then helped him drink to rub Zamzam water to Sooemarno’s face and head. After that, Abdurrahman began to push Sumarno’s wheelchair on the Tawaf course from the tip of parallel to Hajar Aswad. Talbiyah sentences and prayers are still spoken by Abdurrahman, followed by Saemarno. “Labbaikallaahumma Labbaik. Labbaika Laa Syaria Laka Labbaik,” says Abdurrahman. After completing the Tawaf round the seven times, Abdurrahman continued to push Sooemarno’s wheelchair in the Sai area. He also led Semarno to mention prayers during Sai. After seven travels of Bukit Safa and Marwah, Abdurrahman took Sooemarno to the Tahalul area. He then cut the hair of Sooemarno as a sign of the end of a compulsory sequence of Umrah. The entire series of worship at the Great Mosque was completed early in the morning (5/30/2025). Abdurrahman then helped Somarno go to the Jabal Kakbah terminals. They took the bus to return to the hotel. “It’s been here for three days, thanks to the Lord, the arrival has begun to decline. We comb every day that the Umrah is not compulsory, so that the mother and father of the elderly can execute the Umrah, which we are obliged to prioritize,” Abdurrahman said.

Abdurrahman said he remembers his own parents while helping the elderly congregation. “We often cry to remember Mbah and remember parents, so yes, it is sincerely lived,” Abdurrahman said as he cries. He said the elderly officers also regularly feed food, bathe and help Cebok sometimes look for the elderly with a stray dementia. Although heavy, Abdurrahman said that he and other pilgrims considered what they do as dedication to their own parents and guests of God, so that they are always enthusiastic. “By sincerely, God willingly, things are going well,” he said.
