Malaysian Pilgrim Dies of Heart Attack During Hajj

A somber note struck the 1446H Hajj pilgrimage with the passing of Misnan Ahmad, a 60-year-old Malaysian pilgrim from Johor. The announcement came from Minister Datuk Mohd Na'im Mokhtar in Mecca, who stated that Mr. Ahmad died of a heart attack at King Abdul Aziz Hospital. "This is a sad event during this sacred time," Minister Mokhtar said. Mr. Ahmad's wife, also in Mecca, will receive support from Tabung Haji, the Malaysian pilgrimage fund. His burial will be in Mecca. This tragic event highlights the risks faced by pilgrims, reminding us of the importance of health and well-being during religious journeys. The unwavering support of Tabung Haji provides a small measure of comfort during this difficult time.
