As one of the Pillars of Islam, performing the Hajj is an obligation that every Muslim must carry out. However, this worship requires that it must only be carried out by those who already have the ability, both financially, mentally and physically.
However, being able to perform the Hajj pilgrimage is certainly a great joy. Especially with the current conditions, where the waiting period for prospective Hajj pilgrims is quite long, it can reach decades.
Starting from this feeling of gratitude and happiness, PT Rekayasa Industri (Rekind), every year holds the Walimatussafar Haji tradition, a symbolic send-off for Rekind employees and their subsidiaries who are ‘invited’ by Allah SWT to be their best guests to Baitullah. This traditional moment also provides a glimpse of the closeness and family ties in the work environment of Rekind and its subsidiaries.
The Walimatussafar Haji activity was attended by a number of top officials from Rekind and its subsidiaries. They are here to provide a special spirit, as well as send off employees who will carry out worship for 40 days in the holy land. Held at the Ulul Al Bab Mosque, Rekind Head Office.
This year’s Walimatussafar Haji Rekind activities are led directly by Edy Sutrisman, SVP Corporate Secretary & Legal. Witnessed by Yusairi, Director of Operations & Technology/Development of Rekind and President Director of Tracon Edi Wibawa.
Edy Sutrisman in his speech advised the congregation to specifically prepare all the necessities to support or facilitate the implementation of worship. It is also no less important to maintain stamina to stay healthy and fit when carrying out the stages of the Hajj. “I also ask all ladies and gentlemen not to forget to pray for Rekind to quickly emerge from the various challenges and dynamics it is currently facing. “So that our beloved company will stand strong again and raise its existence even higher and become the pride of all of us,” said Edy Sutrisman, inviting emotion from the congregation.
This year, Rekind and its subsidiaries are releasing 11 employees who will go on Hajj. They consist of Dwi Novianto and wife (Rekind), Solkhan and wife (Tracon), Hengki Sugiharto and wife (RSA), Muhammad Akif Ghifari and wife (RE), Linda Hana (Rekind), Dadan Saepulloh and wife (Rekind), Rizaldi (Rekind), Pargono and wife (Rekind), Asnil Ardi and wife (Rekind), Wartono & wife (Rekind), Aton Setiana and wife (Rekind).
This activity became colorful when Yusairi and Edy Wibawa sent off the congregation by giving short lectures and special gifts as a form of support and closeness within the Rekind family and its subsidiaries.
The activity, which was also attended by employees and the families of prospective pilgrims, closed with Tausiyah and a joint prayer led by Ustadz Hidayaturrahman. Hopefully the Rekind Hajj pilgrims will be given convenience and be blessed with good health in carrying out their worship and return to their homeland with the proud ‘title’ of hajj mabrur. Aamiin..Aamiin Ya Rabbal Alaamin.
