MECCA: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Dr Zulkifli Hasan (pic) said the Masyair Cleanliness Campaign, implemented since 2017 among Malaysian haj pilgrims, will continue to be strengthened during this year’s haj season to ensure the culture of cleanliness is fully embraced.
He said the campaign is not only aimed at ensuring accommodation areas and places of worship remain clean, but also at cultivating a way of life that reflects the spirit of being duyufurrahman (guests of Allah), Bernama reported.
“Alhamdulillah, we have seen how Malaysian haj pilgrims have set a good example by maintaining cleanliness at their accommodation and around the Masyair areas.
“This year, we want to strengthen those efforts further.
“We want the culture of cleanliness, in line with the spirit of being duyufurrahman, to be truly embraced, including in aspects such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding wastefulness and practising moderation,” he said after launching the Makkah Haj Pilgrims’ Accommodation Building Cleanliness Programme and the Masyair Cleanliness Campaign for the 2026 haj season yesterday.
Zulkifli said the programme reflects the continued commitment of Lembaga Tabung Haji to ensuring the welfare, comfort and well-being of pilgrims are always prioritised, particularly in terms of cleanliness, health and a conducive environment throughout their stay in the Holy Land.
He added that the effort is also in line with the aspirations of Saudi Arabia to enhance cleanliness standards and environmental management in the Holy Land through Saudi Vision 2030.
