JAKARTA - Actor Aiman Ricky is now ready to take on a new role that is very noble. After going through a series of strict certification processes, he will soon depart for the Holy Land, not as a pilgrim, but as a haj official.
"Yes, thank God yesterday I took the Hajj guidance certification in December," said Aiman Ricky in South Jakarta, Thursday, February 12.
"And that is one of the achievements of my life as well," he continued.
His desire to become a haji officer was apparently buried since he performed the hajj in 2022. At that time, he was very inspired by the officers who sincerely helped the elderly pilgrims.
"I really want to be an officer like the officers at that time who helped the grandmothers, grandfathers," he recalled.
Although he had failed twice in registration due to administrative problems, his intention never wavered. The golden opportunity finally came when he was offered to take the haj guidance certification.
He also attended an eight-day training at the Hajj dormitory with a very busy schedule.
"We start from 3 o'clock until it's over again at 11 o'clock at night," he said.
In the midst of other participants who are mostly professionals such as doctors and professors, Aiman felt small. However, he was not discouraged and continued to learn.
Now, after being declared to pass the certification, Aiman is ready to realize his dreams. He emphasized that his mindset when he left was not to go on hajj, but to serve.
"Now my mindset is not for worship but how do I serve God's guests," he said.
