The challenge </em><em>that </em><em>faced by prospective pilgrims is derived from the Dutch government as a pilgrims</em><em> manager or administrator</em><em>. Rules </em><em>which</em><em> appl</em><em>ied</em><em> before </em><em>the departure</em><em> until </em><em>their arrival</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>Mecca (</em><em>Holy Land</em><em>)</em><em> greatly complicate the congregation. The rise of social status after the pilgrimage had its own influence on society, the ha</em><em>j</em><em>j had significant </em><em>meaning</em><em> and influence in the 19th century. It was able to mobilize the social and cultural forces against the Dutch. Therefore, the </em><em>Dutch Indies government</em><em> enacted a special policy related to pilgrimage whose purpose is to minimize the number of pilgrims from Indonesia. But in the end</em><em>,</em><em> the hajj policy doesn</em><em>’</em><em>t give a significant impact to the pilgrims. </em><em>Therefore, </em><em>still appears the resistance of Muslims led by Islamic leaders who </em><em>has </em><em>appellation</em><em> </em><em>“hajj”</em><em>.</em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> hajj, colonialism, resistance</em><em></em></p>
