The Story of the Children of the Juragan
142. Surrounding the holy land
After the shower, the body feels fresh. They were also getting excited to go to Baitullah.
They walked while looking left and right staring at the beauty around Baitullah. Even their hearts were rippling.
Then hold a prayer mat for prayer, because soon the Maghrib prayer congregation will begin.
The Wulan family, whose incident is a convert when hearing the chanting of the holy verse of the Koran during prayer, is increasingly touched. Because of the very sweet reading of the priest.
The imams of the prayer leaders in the Grand Mosque are indeed the qori-qori of choice. So no doubt its tajwid science.
Even though the reading they read is longer, in fact all pilgrims do not feel saturated at all. And just getting more alive.
After the prayer they prayed to God, begged for forgiveness for all their sins, and offered other prayers.
While waiting for the time of Isha', they used their time to recite the holy verse of the Qur'an. Back again to the Wulan family who are converts.
They kept trying to read the holy verse as they could. By reading the translation of the verse that has been translated into their language.
Isya's prayer time arrives. They again welcomed enthusiastically perform mandatory prayers. After that, until night they increased the prayers in the mosque.
The leader of the group invited him back to the hotel, because it was getting late at night. They complied and went back to the hotel to rest.
Wulan and her family deliberately chose to sleep in one room. To be able to take care of each other.
When the rest of his family slept soundly, Wulan woke up. No need to think long, he rushed to the bathroom to take ablution water. Then do tahajud prayers.
His crying sounds soft. So as not to disturb family members who sleep.
In that sentence, he gave the greatest gratitude to God. It has been given the blessings of faith and the blessings of Islam. Found and betrothed to a Sholeh person. Gathering in a religious family. All this further strengthened his belief in embracing Islam.
After he finished praying, he reopened the Qur'an. Then read. Understand every meaning.
He glanced at the clock on his cell phone which had shown at four o'clock. He closed his Qur'an and woke up his family members to get ready to go to the mosque.
They thanked and at the same time praised Wulan, who still woke up early even though he came home late from the mosque.
They took turns bathing, then put on their completeness attributes. After that, then with the group to the mosque.
At about seven in the morning the Umrah group returned to the hotel to enjoy breakfast. After resting for a while, they continued their journey around the places around the Grand Mosque.
The first one they visited was Jabal Rahmah.
Jabal Rahmah does have its own attraction for Umrah groups. Because it is a historic place where the Prophet Adam met with Siti Eve for the first time after being expelled from heaven.
In that place there is a square concrete monument as high as eight meters. To reach the top, you have to walk to a hill as high as 70 meters.
The condition in Jabal Rahmah is indeed composed of rocky hills. To get through it, we need to be careful, so as not to slip.
After being satisfied in Jabal Rahmah, the group moved to Mount Uhud.
Mount Uhud is located in the north of the city of Medina. The mountain has a height of about 350 meters.
Once, this place became one of the locations of a great war between Muslims and the Quraysh army. In the vicinity there is the Al-Fash Mosque, the tomb of the martyrs, and the location of the Prophet PBUH prayers after the Uhud War.
Mount Uhud which has now been transformed into a fertile mountain. On the mountain, there was no plant at all. Unlike now, which has been green.
God has warned us of his people, if our Makkah Madinah turns green, then it is one of the signs of the apocalypse.
And those who had known it, immediately brushed off the feathers of their heads. Then say the word istighfar. For all the wrongs, caliphs and sins that have been lived so far.
The day is already noon, and the tour guide suggests to perform Dhuhur prayer first. After that, we will continue with lunch and go back to the next place.
Next, they moved towards the Quba Mosque.
Quba Mosque was built by Prophet Muhammad in 1 Hijri or 622 AD in Quba. It is called the Quba Mosque.
In the mosque there are three doors that become the entry and exit of the congregation.
In the middle of the mosque room there is Sahn, a well that becomes a source of water for ablution.
Because the day is enough day, the tour guide suggests to perform Dhuhur prayers at the mosque.
The company also received every suggestion from him. Hurry up they take the water.
