During the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage, millions of Muslims visit Mecca. In the crowd, a group of members come up with unique methods to avoid losing each other. Indonesian female pilgrims have chosen a wonderful and unusual way in this regard.
Recently, photos and videos circulating on the Internet show a group of Indonesian women wearing large sunflower (sunchoke) signs on their hijabs. They wear hijabs of the same color, specifically reddish-yellow, and attach sunflowers to the back. This allows them to be easily recognized in the crowded places.
Example of Unity and Organization
For Indonesian pilgrims, today, organization and coordination in group travels are of great importance. They use such visual signs to avoid losing each other during the pilgrimage as a group. This not only provides convenience from a practical standpoint but also strengthens the sense of unity and solidarity among the pilgrims.
Crowding during Hajj and Umrah – one of the main problems
During the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, situations such as getting lost or separating from groups frequently occur among Muslims performing Hajj and Umrah rituals. Therefore, pilgrims from different countries prefer to have distinctive signs. Indonesian women have chosen a bright and distinctive sunflower sign as a method to avoid isolation.
This innovative method of Indonesian female pilgrims not only strengthens their interactions but also enhances the convenience during the pilgrimage process. Through this simple yet highly effective method, they can easily recognize group members. Such creative approaches serve to improve organization during Hajj and Umrah trips and ensure the safety of each pilgrim.
