The pilgrims have arrived at the third destination when the sun has begun to rise. Jabal Rahmah is the third tourist destination they visit.
“On the small hill where Adam and Siti Eve met after coming down from heaven for eating the fruit of the khuldi. They were found there after many hundred years he was separated by Allah SWT”
Approximately that is the conclusion that can be conveyed by their tour guide at that time.
Next they continued their journey to the Arafat field and ended up in Muzdalifah and Mina, where it was a mabit place for pilgrims’ haj. There, pilgrims are circumcised to pick up pebbles that will be used to throw jumrah.
They finished the city tour that day well, did the fadlu prayer there until the Isya prayer and returned to the hotel to rest.
Until tomorrow greet, like the routine in the morning before they do umrah sunnah that morning. They returned to the Grand Mosque to perform the congregational dawn prayer and breakfast there.
Azam looks very handsome with his Ihram clothes, although only two sheets of Ihram cloth for as a sarong and shoulder cover. And Stella is also no less beautiful with clothes that wrap her body perfectly and then enter the illegal mosque.
The importance of this illegal mosque in addition to being a qibla, is also a place where pilgrims perform some mandatory rituals, namely tawaf and sai.
Masjidil haram has 129 doors 50 of which are for people with disabilities and can not walk and the main one is the door named Babus Salam, where usually the pilgrims will want to enter through the door.
So did Stella remember from what her husband said earlier.
“Why is that so mas?” Ask Stella.
“Because if we go through that door then, we will be able to directly see ka’bah, hajar aswad, maqam Ibrahim and Hijir Ismail”
The doors are equipped with green and red lights. Where if the light is green, it means that there is still an empty place inside. Whereas if the lights go red, the sign is that there is no place left in the Grand Mosque.
Stella also saw towers towering at the top of the doors.
“The towers were grouped into two, Stella. There is a tower, there is a new one. The former tower is above the doors of King Abdul Aziz, King Fahd, Umrah, Al-Fath and Ash-shofa. While the new tower is above the door of King Abdullah, some are in the Southeast and some are in the Northwest part of” Azam describe well how architecture there.
“Labaik Allahumma. Labbaik laa syarika laka. Innal hamda wan ni’mata laka wal mulk laa syarika lak”
Immediately Stella was crying and prostrating gratitude there.it can not be denied, her happiness was so cleansing that she could no longer speak.
“Mashaallah tabarakallah” Murmured when back on his feet.
Stella raves, ka’bah can really be seen now. It was in front of his eyes, completely real. The woman patted him on the cheek several times, realising that this was not a dream.
The building of the ka’bah is in the shape of a cube located in the middle of the Grand Mosque, a building that is a benchmark of Qibla direction for Muslims.
Stella can also see the chastisement believed to be a stone coming from heaven. He said, the stone used to have a light so bright but, the longer the light dimmed until now it was black.
This Hajar Aswad has a fragrant aroma, he is placed outside the ka’bah to make it easy for someone who wants to smell it. Kissing the aswad is the sunnah of the Prophet SAW.
There is also Maqam Ibrahim which is a small wide building structure. It was not the meal of the prophet Abraham, but in the small building there was a large stone that was sent down from heaven along with the stones that were in the aswad.
On the rock, Ibrahim once stood there while building the ka’bah beside his son Ismail who gave chunks of stone on it.
There is also an escalator for pilgrims who want to pray on the roof floor.
There is also an air conditioning center, where the center is in building 6 and is channeled through tunnels that connect the center with air conditioning in the expansion building and channeled also through the cooling units on the mosque poles.
“This name Hijir Ismail” Azam shows a semi-circular building located north of ka’bah, “this building was made by Prophet Ibrahim Alaihi Salam. Formerly the building of the ka’bah has been made perfectly by Prophet Ibrahim and his son, Prophet Ismail. However, unfortunately the wall had collapsed from fire and flooding.
The Quraysh had renovated the building but, due to the lack of halal funds to build according to the foundations belonging to Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael, it was because of the lack of halal funds, finally they just took out the Hijir building part and built this short wall instead, it was a sign that this building included the building in the ka’bah” Azam said, explained to his wife about the semi-circular building with the short wall.
Actually Stella still feels curious about what Azam means by ‘uang halal’? but, the woman chose to undo her intention to ask. Think, later if you don't forget.
He focused on continuing the tawaf as much as 7x rounds, starting from Hajar Aswad. There Stella continued to recite, begging for forgiveness for all the sins she had committed all this time. So tight his chest, considering how sinful he used to be. I also thank Allah SWT for being met with men as good as Azam.
After finishing tawaf 7x round, they perform sunnah tawaf 2 rakaat prayers behind the Ibrahim maqam before finally returning to hajar aswad.
Next they continued their journey to the safa hill to carry out sai umroh. As he approached the hill of Safa, Stella read the letter of Al-Baqarah verse 158.
And while climbing the hill of Safa and facing the qibla Stella muttered three times, “Allahuakbar, Allahuakbar, Allahuakbar”
Then down and towards the hill Marwah. It was done up and down the hills of Safa and Marwah as much as 7x and ended in Marwah, before finally they did tahallul by shortening the hair.
The sensation is amazing for Stella who was just there for the first time, there is absolutely no fatigue. In fact, it seems like a pleasant memory for him.
Not to forget, Stella brought zam zam water that she had taken earlier. Fresh and relaxing according to Stella.
They finally came out of the place when they greeted. Performing fardlu prayers at the Grand Mosque will also be one of the opium to Stella.
“Are you happy?” Ask Azam.
They were already in a hotel room now, hugging each other in the middle of the night air that was beginning to bite their skin.
Stella nodded, “I'm happy. But, there is one question that had stuck for me earlier” said Stella.
“What is it?” Ask Azam.
“When Azam explained about Hijir Ismail earlier, I was confused by the sentence ‘uang halal’. How does that mean?” Ask Stella.
“I mean the money they use to build ka’bah is halal money. Not from prostitution*ran, nor buying and selling usury or funds from mendzalimi others” Azam replied casually.
“Oh, so ya” Sahut Stella while nodding her head.
“Do you understand now? Any more questions?” Ask Azam.
Stella shook her head, it was enough for the day, “Nothing. Then let's go to bed. Good night, mas” He said then kissed Azam's left cheek.
Azampun smiled sweetly, he always liked if Stella acted sweet like tonight, “goodnight, dear” he replied while kissing the wife's forehead.
