-- Ikhlas Com Travel & Umrah Sdn Bhd (ikhlas.com) fulfills the dreams of underprivileged individuals (asnaf) to perform the sacred pilgrimage of umrah, with the first group of special pilgrims under the Umrah 1,000 Asnaf initiative departing for the Holy Land from Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (klia2).

This special group comprises 15 asnaf individuals who were carefully selected from among thousands of candidates through a thorough vetting process. Each recipient is fully sponsored to perform the umrah pilgrimage — including passport fees, vaccinations, visa, return AirAsia flights and a comfortable, fullboard umrah package by ikhlas.com.
Chief Executive Officer of ikhlas.com, Ikhlas Kamarudin said: “We are currently arranging departure schedules for around 200 more asnaf pilgrims and we expect that a total of 1,000 asnaf will be able to fulfill their lifelong dream of performing Umrah before the end of the 1447H Umrah season next year.
“We warmly welcome corporate bodies who wish to support the Umrah 1,000 Asnaf initiative to connect with us directly. May we work hand in hand to help even more members of the asnaf community set foot in the Holy Land in the coming Umrah season, inshaAllah.”
The Umrah 1,000 Asnaf program was launched in conjunction with ikhlas.com’s 5th anniversary with the mission to empower local communities by identifying deserving asnaf and turning their dreams of performing umrah into a reality. The initiative reflects ikhlas.com's broader commitment to making umrah accessible to all Muslims — especially those who may not have the means — at least once in their lifetime.
Malaysians are still welcome to submit nominations via https://ikhlas.com/ms/my/umrah-1000-asnaf, where ikhlas.com will continue to carry out careful screening and selection for sponsorship under the Umrah 1,000 Asnaf program.
