Portrait of Kimberly Ryder Reveals Reasons for Failing to Depart for Hajj This Year

Actress Kimberly Ryder shared shocking news about her plans to perform Hajj, which did not materialize this year. In fact, Kimberly had carefully planned to be able to worship in the Holy Land.

"Originally, I was indeed invited to go on Hajj this year, but because the visa process was a bit complicated, it seems I have not been called by Allah for this year, Insya Allah next year," Kimberly said when met in the Kapten Tendean area, Mampang, South Jakarta on Wednesday (28/5/2025).

Kimberly admitted that the plan to go on pilgrimage only came up recently. She was even quite surprised when she received an offer to go on pilgrimage after just performing Umrah for the first time this year. However, she remains positive and surrenders everything to God's will.

"Actually, the plan just came up recently, so I was quite surprised, because this year I just performed Umrah for the first time as well, but if it’s not the right time, then we just follow Allah's plan, which is surely the best," she continued.

As a form of preparation for Eid al-Adha, Kimberly admitted that she hasn't prepared much. She only intends to fast tomorrow as part of the practices leading up to the Feast of Sacrifice.

"Not really prepared, just preparing for tomorrow's fasting, that's it so far for the preparation, and I can't cut my nails anymore, that's it for now," she said.

Even though she failed to go on the pilgrimage, Kimberly will still perform the sacrificial worship as usual. She mentioned that she is still considering which animal to sacrifice, whether a goat or 1/7 of a cow."Usually if not a goat, then 1/7 of a cow, we'll just see what's available this year," she said.

Kimberly added that the sacrificial worship is usually done in her own name, while the children are directly taken care of by their father."In my own name, if from last year it was the father who handled it for himself and the children as well," said the mother of two.

Even though she canceled her pilgrimage to Mecca, Kimberly still looked optimistic and hoped to depart next year. She is confident that everything is arranged according to God's best timing."Well, let's just follow the plan; God surely has the best," concluded Kimberly Ryder.
