Register Hajj for your children, ASAP!

 

Alhamdulilllah today we registered Hajj for our 3-month old Rumaysa with Tabung Haji. According to the “default” sequence, her turn will be in year 2163. That’s only 141 years from now. Insha Allah 😄

I am inspired by my friends who go to Hajj because their parents registered from them when they were little. A good friend of mine, he went for Hajj in his early ‘30s. Why? Because his wife’s parents registered for her when she was a child, and so when her turn was up, the husband automatically got to accompany her.  

Masha Allah, what an amazing legacy for parents to leave behind: to have sent their children to complete their fifth pillar Islam, Hajj - and perhaps along with their familiies, too. Making small efforts to plant the seeds today will yield huge barakah, decades down the line. 

And it’s so EASY to register for hajj these days under Tabung Haji - all we have to do is spend a few minutes to show up. For adults, we can just use the app.. Do everything online, khalas. Lagi senang dari mengundi. Nak tak nak je. 

As for the sequence (i.e. 141 years later)? 

Put that aside for now. What’s important is we focus what’s within our control: Registration. 

What’s beyond our control - the waiting sequence, etc - Leave that to Allah, and put our trust in Him. That sequence what it is today, based on annual hajj allocation for Malaysians and how many have registered. The numbers are always subject for revision, insha Allah. 

And if it doesn’t happen? Well, at least you have some solid evidence with Allah when you meet Him - “ya Allah, I tried!”
