Gratitude was also extended to all muzaki (zakat payers), volunteers, and the management of Istiqlal Mosque for their exceptional synergy in ensuring the program's success.

In their message to the travelers, the organizing committee emphasized the importance of maintaining health during the journey and following all safety guidelines. They expressed their hope for a smooth trip and a safe arrival for everyone heading home.
