Halal Love of the Senior
Family Time 2's

This morning after the Fajr prayers were worshipped at the Nabawi Mosque, Rendra and his entourage returned to the hotel. Before checking out, they were asked to take a sunah ihram bath and wear ihram cloth as clothing to carry out the Umrah worship procession. From the hotel, the group headed to Makkah.

They stopped first at Bir Ali Mosque which is located 11 km from the Nabawi Mosque to emigrate. Miqat is the place or time set by Prophet Muhammad SAW as the entrance to start Hajj or umrah. After the miqat, pilgrims headed to Baitullah and began to apply the ban when dressing ihram. Bir Ali became a place of miqat for pilgrims who began their journey from Medina.

(Bir Ali Mosque)

Upon arrival at the mosque, they performed as many as 2 rakaat tahiyatul mosque prayers, sunah ihram prayers, only then intending ihram. After the miqat and express the intention, then the prohibitions apply when berihram (1).

Rendra and his entourage read talbiyah during the journey from the miqat to the Grand Mosque.

"Labbaik Allahumma labbaik, labbaika laa syariika laka labbaik, innal hamda wan ni'mata laka wal mulk laa syariika laka labbaik."

(That is to say: "I fulfill Your call, O God, I fulfill Your call, O God, and there is no ally for You. Verily, all praise, favor, and power are for You without any ally to You.")

Once in Makkah they head to the hotel first to check in and put their luggage into the room. After that they gathered again in the hotel lobby for the preparation of tawaf, sai umrah and tahalul.

Rendra and his entourage walked from the hotel to the Grand Mosque, as their hotel was only a few hundred meters from the Grand Mosque. When they got there and saw the Kaaba in plain sight, there was a haru and happy feeling seething in the chest.

(Masjidil Haram)

They then do tawaf, which is to walk around the Kaaba seven times in a direction that is counterclockwise or the Kaaba is on our left, while praying.

They walk side by side and close together. Dita was able to walk around the Kaaba seven times. He and Rendra could even kiss Hajar Aswad. After tawaf, they performed the tawaf circumcision prayer behind Maqam Ibrahim (the stone on which Ibrahim rested while building the Kaaba).

Next they did the sai, which is to walk and run back and forth seven times from Safa to Marwa. They headed to Safa Hill to begin their pilgrimage and pray.

The journey from Safa to Marwa is counted as one trip. In contrast, a trip from Marwa to Safa also counts as a one-way trip. And the seventh count ended at Marwa.

Dita was only able to walk twice because she was exhausted after the tawaf. Rendra faithfully pushed Dita's wheelchair until the process was complete. They prayed in Marwa and did not perform the circumcision prayer after the sai.

After that, they shave or cut hair called tahalul. Rendra did not cut his hair, only shortened it because tomorrow they will umrah again the second before leaving Makkah. The completion of the sai which ends with tahalul marks the fulfillment of the implementation of the umrah (2).

After the accident, they went back to the hotel to rest.

"We will rest in the room, do not pray in the mosque. You must have achieved right," Mother Goddess said as they were on their way back to the hotel.

"Yes, Ma. The plan is like that too. If anyone else wants to go to the mosque, I'm not left alone. I'm sorry Ma, I'm a burden and it's a hassle." Dita was bowed in a wheelchair driven by her husband.

"Nobody feels bothered, Dita. We are a family that should help each other and understand. Never say that again yes," said Mother Goddess.

"Yes, Ma." Dita looked up, smiled and turned to her in-laws.

"Mama is so happy we can go together for such a long period of time as now. Usually you are busy with your own activities. So, here we have to enjoy this togetherness, even though Dita is limited to activities, we can continue together while at the hotel," continued Mother Goddess.

"Rubber, what mom said, honey. Don't say that again, Ale and I will be sad" Rendra told his wife. "It's my duty to take care of you."

"Yes, Mas. Sorry yes." Dita looked up, looking at her husband who still looked cheerful despite pushing his wheelchair from the moment. Rendra did not want to be replaced by his mother, Shasha or Nisa.

"Bak Dita, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for Shasha's sister" asked Nisa as they entered the hotel. They were waiting for the elevator door that would take them up to the top floor where their room was.

"Mas, can I have a kebab?" She asked permission from her husband.

"Can, Honey. How many?" ask Rendra.

"Two, can?"

"Can." Rendra smiled as he stroked his wife's head.

"Ready, Ma'am. Later I will tell you there is anything in there variants," said Nisa.

"Thank you, Nis."

"Together, Mother."

The next day, they were free to do anything. Of course, they do a lot of worship in the Grand Mosque, especially performing five prayers and circumcision there. They also hunt typical culinary when free.

On their third day in Makkah, after dawn, they made a pilgrimage to Makkah City. Their first destination was to visit Jabal Tsur (Mount Tsur). At the top of Mount Tsur there is a very historic Tsur Cave in Islam. In this cave, Prophet Muhammad SAW with his friend Abu Bakr hid from the Quraysh who intended to kill him.

As they hid in the Cave of Tsur, with a miracle from Allah, in front of the cave there was suddenly a thick spider web that covered the mouth of the cave so that the Prophet and his companions did not appear from the outside. And a pigeon that made a nest in front of the cave and gave the impression there could be no one in the cave. By the will of Allah SWT, after three nights of hiding in the cave, the Prophet and Abu Bakr were able to survive the pursuit of the Quraysh. They could then continue their journey to the city of Medina.

(Jabal Tsur)

Because the slope of this mountain is about 45 or 50 degrees and the path to the top is not easy to climb, eventually they just look at it from below.

Their next destination was Jabal Rahmah in Padang Arafah. As the name implies, this place is known as the hill or mountain of affection. It was on this hill that the ancestors of man, Adam and Eve, met after being sent down to the world. They were cast out of heaven for breaking the law of God, eating the fruit of the khuldi, because they were deceived by the devil.

In Jabal Rahmah, Prophet Muhammad SAW also received the last revelation. That is, at the time he wukuf, perform Hajj Wada, or the last pilgrimage. Many worshippers pray here for the harmony of their households. There are even those who write their names and their partners there.

(Jabal Rahma)

After that they headed to Muzdalifah. After performing wukuf in Padang Arafat, the pilgrims will move to Muzdalifah and Mina. In Muzdalifah this is where the pilgrims spend the night or mabit until dawn arrives. They performed Maghrib and Isha prayers in plural and qashar. Here also pilgrims collect gravel that will be used to throw jamrah.

Next they went to Mina, saw a place to throw jamrah. There are three places to throw jamrah, namely Ula, Wustha, and Aqabah. Throwing the hour is a symbol of resistance against Satan because they always try to mislead people from the way of truth and keep away from the way of Allah SWT.

Then they went to Jabal Nur. In Jabal Nur or Mount Cahaya, there is the Cave of Hira, which is where the Prophet Muhammad SAW first received revelation. The terrain leading to Hira Cave was also difficult so they did not climb it, just looking from below.

The last destination was to Ja’ronah Mosque to take their second umrah miqat. This mosque is indeed one of the places designated by the Prophet as the location of the boundary, where a Muslim must wear ihram and start intending before Umrah or Hajj. This mosque is crowded with pilgrims who have been in Makkah, or the residents of Makkah themselves. So, they did not need to go all the way to Medina to take the miqat.

Behind the Ja'ronah Mosque is a well that can cure diseases. The originally poisonous well, turned neutral, can even be used for treatment through the miracle of the Prophet. But now the well has been closed by the government of Saudi Arabia to prevent shirk, or the act of associating with Allah.

(Ja'ronah Mosque)

From the Ja'ronah Mosque, they returned to the Grand Mosque for tawaf. Then sai in Safa and Marwah. Last they know. Rendra cut his hair flap like a soldier in this second umrah.

After the second Umrah, they returned to the hotel to rest. In this second umrah, Dita runs sai in a wheelchair, because she has achieved success after previously touring the pilgrimage and tawaf.

"Mas, my legs are swollen," complained Dita as they reached the room. He did not want to complain in front of the in-laws and the others for being unkind.

"Mom, get some rest, lay in bed. I'll be incandescent." Rendra lifted his wife's body, carried on the bed.

"Who said I've achieved it. I'm fine. I'm okay, honey." Rendra sat Dita on the bed.

"His feet are selonjor, don't bend. Change clothes first, let's be comfortable."

"Yes, Mas. Thanks." Thanks." Dita looked lovingly at her husband who was taking a change of clothes for her, and Rendra took off the cloth Ihram that covered her body. Rendra put on a change of clothes first before changing clothes Dita.

"Mas, I can change my own clothes. I don't have to walk and stand for long" Dita told her husband.

"Already, Bubu just shut up, do not spend a lot of energy," Rendra ordered while releasing the dress that Dita used for ihram and replace it with a long batik negligee that is more comfortable to use sleep.

"His stomach isn't tense, is it, honey?" Rendra stroked his wife's stomach.

"Alhamdulillah, no more. Tawaf was a bit tense. Thank God, Ale can be invited to work together, even though I still have to use a wheelchair." Dita clasped Rendra's hand which was on his stomach that had been slightly bent.

"Thank you, dear Baba, you've taken care of Bubu and Ale." Dita smiled sweetly at her husband.

"Come, son, thank Baba."

The fetus in the womb Dita responds to his speech by moving.

"Ale moves, honey. Hi, kid, this is Baba. Thank you for helping Bubu to worship Umrah. Ale a godly boy. Love you, Ale." Rendra spoke in front of Dita's stomach which ended with kissing his wife's stomach.

"I love you, Babu Darling." Rendra got up and kissed the woman he loved so much.

"I love you too, dear Baba."

Rendra smile. He sat down at his wife's feet.

"Do you want to sit down or this fall on his feet?" ask Rendra.

"Just break it down, Mas. Let me go straight to sleep. Reachable and a bit limp my body. Later if I fall asleep and Mas want to go to the Mosque, just go away yes no need to say goodbye to me. Just give me a note at the table or send a message," said Dita.

"Yes, Honey. Want to go to the bathroom before you go to bed?"

"Yes, Mum."

Rendra held Dita back, this time taking her to the bathroom. After that Dita lay down while on her husband's side until she fell asleep.

After his wife fell asleep, Rendra also laid her body beside Dita. He will sleep for a while before going to the Grand Mosque to pray there.

God willing one more chapter yes Mother Goddess's family journey.

Oh yes, if I created a WhatsApp group, would anyone be interested in joining? 👉👈

Note:

(1) Prohibition when berihram/umrah

     Prohibition for male pilgrims:

    - Wearing ordinary clothes (such as underwear, pants or clothes)

    - Wearing socks or shoes that cover the ankles and heels

    - Covering the head with a hat or peci, turban

    Prohibition for Women:

    - Closing both palms with a hand T-shirt

    - Covering the face with a veil

    The prohibition on the time of worship that applies to all worshipers, both men and women:

    - Wearing fragrances except those that have been used in the body before the intention of Umrah

    - Cutting nails and shaving or plucking hair and body hair

    - Hunting and persecuting/killing animals in any way, except animals that harm them

    cutting wood and pulling grass

    - Marry, marry or marry women

    - Conducting husband and wife relationships, including mummified and other things that are cause of shah wat between the two.

(2) Umrah Pillars :

    1. Intention/Ihram

    People who will perform umrah worship use ihram clothes (without stitches for men) and recite the intention of the miqat (the starting point of Umrah worship).

    2. Tawaaf

    Tawaf is surrounding Ka’bah seven times. The starting point of tawaf starts from Hajar Aswad which is in one corner of Ka'bah and is recommended to wipe Hajar Aswad when passing through it. If it is not possible to wipe Hajar Aswad, pilgrims are allowed to only signal in the form of a wave of hands towards Hajar Aswad.

    3. Sai

    Sai is a small run from Safa to Marwah seven times. There is no prayer that must be read, so in doing the prayer is allowed to say the desired prayer.

    This series of worship comes from the story of Siti Hajar when he sought a drink for Ismail as a child. The Prophet Ibrahim's wife ran back and forth looking for water from the spring which is now known as the spring of zam-zam.

    4. Typhoid

    Tahalul means to break away from the prohibition of ihram such as shaving hair or cutting hair at least three strands of hair. This was done outside the Grand Mosque near Marwah Hill. After doing tahalul, pilgrims are free from prohibition when performing Umrah worship.

    5. Orderly

    The orderly has the intention that the Umrah pilgrims must carry out all the Umrah rules one by one or in accordance with the order and rules set. So when performing Umrah should not miss or jump the Umrah worship network. If one of the pillars is abandoned intentionally or accidentally it will make Umrah worship illegitimate.
