UMRAH: FEATURE STORY

www.twtravel.com.my 5

Ustaz Muhammad Yazrie Yahya atau lebih dikenali sebagai Ustaz Yazrie merupakan rekrut terbaru Syarikat Tradewinds Travel Services (TTS) untuk Jabatan Umrah sebagai Pakar Runding Umrah. Beliau merupakan seorang yang peramah, senang untuk berbicara dan suka berkongsi ilmu dan pengalaman beliau. Kerjaya beliau bermula sejak tahun 2016 di mana beliau telah menjalankan tugas sebagai seorang Mutawwif dalam membimbing para Jemaah Umrah di Tanah Suci, Mekah.

S: Bagaimanakah Ustaz boleh menceburi bidang Mutawwif ini?

J: Saya mengikuti Kursus Mutawwif’ yang dianjurkan oleh Akademi Mutawwif Sdn Bhd Johor Corporation di Harmony Excellence, Kg Janda Baik, Pahang iaitu pada 26-28 Feb 2016 dan diikuti 'Kursus Mutawwif Advanced' anjuran EL IZZAH Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd pada 12-13 Ogos 2016 di Kelantan Trade Center, Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

S: Bolehkah Ustaz menceritakan sedikit sebanyak pengalaman Ustaz ketika menjadi seorang Mutawwif?

J: Sebenarnya saya memang meminati tugas sebagai mutawwif selepas balik menunaikan ibadah umrah pada tahun 2013 bersama keluarga. Tugas ini berat sebenarnya. Bertugas 'Menyantuni Dhuyufur Rahman dan Penziarah Rasulullah SAW' sebenarnya bukan mudah.Pengalaman pertama kali menunaikan umrah telah membuka hati saya untuk menceburi bidang ni.

S: Siapakah yang menjadi inspirasi untuk Ustaz memilih jalan ini?

J: Sumber inspirasi saya ada tiga orang iaitu Ustaz Hj Ruhaizam (CEO EL IZZAH), Ustaz Hj Ismail (GURU AGAMA JCORP) dan Ustaz Hj Saifulnizam (MENTOR AKADEMI MUTAWWIF JCORP) dan sahabat-sahabat Mutawwif. Ketiga tiga mentor saya ini mempunyai pengalaman berkhidmat dan berulang-alik ke Mekah dan Madinah. Tanpa jemu dan penat. Niat mereka hanya satu sahaja iaitu nak berkhidmat kepada 'Tetamu Allah dan Penziarah Rasulullah SAW'. Satu tugas yang cukup mulia dan terpilih di sisiNya.

S: Apakah perancangan terkini Ustaz?

J: Alhamdulillah dengan pengalaman saya sebagai petugas sebulan pada Nov 2016 di Mekah dan Mac 2017 bersama Felda Travel , saya telah ditawarkan bekerja dengan Tradewinds Travel Services Sdn Bhd sebagai perunding umrah. Andai esok diarah 'terbang', saya akan patuh. Itu prinsip saya. Lebih lebih lagi semasa cuti sekolah kerana ramai jemaah yang akan menunaikan umrah bersama keluarga pada masa itu.Yang penting saya mengharapkan doa dari sahabat-sahabat agar segala urusan saya dipermudahkan Allah nanti. Semoga saya dan jemaah diterima nanti sebagai TetamuNya. Amiiin.

‘Niat mereka hanya satu sahaja iaitu nak berkhidmat kepada 'Tetamu Allah dan

Penziarah Rasulullah SAW'. Satu tugas yang cukup mulia dan terpilih di sisiNya’.
