At
107 years old, Sumiati, a resident of Jombang,
She
is determined to fly to Mecca next month to go on haj
despite
her declining health.
Born
on June 1, 1912, she is likely to be
the oldest haj pilgrim
from Indonesia this year.
"Going on haj is one
of the five pillars of
Islam,"
She
told me at her house in Ngoro
district,
She
suffers from heart problems.
During
a haj rehearsal held,
she
felt her hands turn
cold before fainting.
As
a result, she failed to
complete the rehearsal,
which
aims to prepare
pilgrims for the rites and ceremonies of haj
before
they fly to Mecca in July.
Her
daughter could not help but shed tears at the
thought of Sumiati going on the trip.
She
will be accompanied by her other daughter, who is herself 60 years old.
