Kuala lumpur: Performing the 'wukuf' at the Plain of Arafah is an experience that deeply touches the soul, prompting a person to reflect on their entire life journey, including past mistakes, sins, and memories. The experience was shared by Malaysian Television Producers Association president Datuk Jurey Latiff Mohd Rosli. He described the atmosphere at Arafah as resembling a powerful flashback scene, where every chapter of one's life unfolds vividly in the mind.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Jurey compared the Arafah experience to a film flashback scene, where life's journey, mistakes, sins, and actions replay in the mind. He noted the difference between film and reality, stating that while films use music, visuals, and acting to enhance emotions, the Arafah experience evokes genuine and profound emotions naturally. The creative industry veteran, with over three decades of television production experience, shared that performing the haj taught him that real life can be more moving than any story he has ever produced on screen.

Jurey, known for the film 'KL Menjerit,' highlighted the sight of millions of pilgrims gathering at Arafah with the single purpose of seeking forgiveness from Allah SWT. He described it as an atmosphere difficult to encapsulate in words, realizing that no one is perfect as everyone prayed, cried, and hoped for Allah's mercy. This moment was one of the most impactful of his haj journey.

Beyond the spiritual experience, Jurey recounted his role as a Sahabat Maktab volunteer, assisting Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) personnel in managing the welfare of Malaysian pilgrims. He shared a memorable incident in Mina involving an elderly female pilgrim from Tawau, Sabah, who had become lost after leaving her tent. Exhausted and in tears, she mistakenly pointed to a tent in the male pilgrims' area as her accommodation. Jurey assisted her by taking her to a TH clinic before reuniting her with her husband.

Reflecting on his volunteer work, Jurey noted that many cases of lost pilgrims stem from individuals leaving their tents without carrying their Nusuk cards. He emphasized the spirit of service rooted in his family, mentioning that his late father, who performed the haj in 2000, also served as a Sahabat Maktab. Jurey regards the opportunity to assist pilgrims and support TH staff as a trust to be fulfilled to the best of his ability.
