All Indonesian Hajj pilgrims arriving in Medina, Saudi Arabia, as part of the second wave are guaranteed the chance to worship in the Raudhah, the sacred area containing the Prophet Muhammad's tomb within the Nabawi Mosque. Dr. Khalilurrahman, head of the Medina branch of the Hajj Organizing Committee (PPIH), confirmed that 110,980 entry permits, known as 'tasreh,' have been secured.
"Alhamdulillah, with Allah SWT's permission and the hard work of the Daker Madinah Raudhah team, we have obtained 110,980 Raudhah tasrehs for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims. This indicates that all second-wave pilgrims can enter the Raudhah," Khalilurrahman stated on Friday, June 19, 2026, near the Nabawi Mosque.
Khalilurrahman and Maria Assegaf, spokesperson for the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenhaj), recently accompanied Indonesian pilgrims into the Raudhah after the dawn prayer. The number of permits secured exceeds the approximately 99,000 pilgrims in the second wave. Remarkably, some Indonesian pilgrims have been able to visit the Raudhah multiple times, utilizing both the Daker Madinah permits and the Nusuk Masar application.
Alhamdulillah, with Allah SWT's permission and the hard work of the Daker Madinah Raudhah team, we have obtained 110,980 Raudhah tasrehs for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims. This indicates that all second-wave pilgrims can enter the Raudhah.
Khalilurrahman expressed his appreciation for the exceptional services provided by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj this year, noting the ease of access to the Raudhah as a sign of special consideration for Indonesian pilgrims. He attributed this success to the cooperation of all parties involved and the guidance from Indonesian religious officials.
Despite the ample quota, Khalilurrahman urged pilgrims to maintain order and avoid rushing or competing for queues when visiting the Nabawi Mosque and the Raudhah. This facilitation is seen as a significant improvement in services for Indonesian pilgrims during their Hajj journey.
This indicates that the services from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj are extraordinary. We are given conveniences and smoothness, thanks to the cooperation of all parties and of course the direction from the Minister of Hajj and Umrah, the Deputy Minister, and the leadership.
