Wednesday, August 14, 2024 National track cyclist Shah Firdaus’ dream came true as ikhlas.com announced Umrah sponsorship for him and his parents on Hot FM, surprising him on air. National track cycling athlete Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom’s dream came true when Ikhlas Com Travel & Umrah Sdn Bhd (ikhlas.
com) announced an Umrah sponsorship for him and his parents on Hot FM radio this morning. The surprise announcement was made by Ikhlas Kamarudin, the Chief Executive Officer of ikhlas.com, during the radio’s morning segment, alongside his younger brother, Ridwan Sahrom, who is also a national track cyclist.
Ikhlas said: “When watching Shah’s interview after the collision, he really seemed devastated and it was obvious that his dream to bring his parents for umrah is real, he really wanted to bring them. So, I was moved to share ‘rezeki’ with Shah and his parents. “We are very proud of Shah.
What happened happened, it was all Allah’s destiny. Hopefully what happened is not the end, but the beginning of something much better, inshaAllah. Congratulations to the entire family of Shah Firdaus.
” Ridwan said: “Encik Ikhlas, on behalf of Shah and also his family, I would like to thank you very much for the help that Mr. Ikhlas have given to sponsor my mother and father and also Shah (to perform) umrah.” Shah Firdaus, who demonstrated tremendous determination before finishing sixth in the keirin final, was left disappointed when his dream of winning a medal in the men’s keirin event at the 2024 Olympic Games was not realized.
His disappointment was intensified by the fact that he had promised to take his mother on an Umrah pilgrimage if he had secured the gold in Paris. However, Shah Firdaus was unexpectedly uplifted when Fara Hasan, the Chief Marketing Officer of ikhlas.com, shared some good news with him while welcoming him and other national athletes at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 this afternoon.
He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to ikhlas.com for making his long-standing wish come true, enabling him to bring both his parents to perform Umrah in the Holy Land. Launched during the pandemic in October 2020, ikhlas.
com is a Muslim travel and lifestyle platform dedicated to helping Muslims fulfill their religious duties with ease. In collaboration with AirAsia X, ikhlas.com offers Umrah and halal tourism packages and also facilitates the performance of Zakat, Sadaqah, Aqiqah, Fidyah, and Qurban.
