A photograph of President Prabowo dressed in the ihram, traditionally worn by male pilgrims, has gone viral across social media platforms.

On Wednesday, July 2, the President was received at the Grand Mosque by several officials. During the pilgrimage, he



had the rare honour of entering the Kaaba, where he offered special prayers. He also kissed the revered Black Stone (Hajar Aswad), a significant Sunnah act for pilgrims.

After exiting the Kaaba, President Prabowo continued with the tawaf—the ritual of circumambulating the Kaaba—followed by the sa’i between the hills of Safa and Marwah, concluding with tahalul (symbolic hair trimming), marking the completion of his Umrah.
