Stella, Azam and other worshippers were given freedom until the 10th day. Stella and Azam all along surrounded the city of Mecca.
First they went to the Hudaibiyah desert. Stella and Azam left in person, although free bus facilities were provided but, of course, Azam wanted to enjoy his time together with his wife.
At that time the weather was hot, to enter the farm area Stella and Azam had to walk first, passing the soft sand in the desert. As a husband on standby, Azam has provided an umbrella and not forget the water for his wife.
First entering the farm area, Stella was immediately treated with camel milk that was still squeezed, then the milk was transferred to small bottles. Milk is what will be sold to tourists.
Stella asked Azam to buy the milk. Of course the man did not refuse but, he continued to grind, “Do not drink directly, dear” he said.
“But this is fresh milk. Time can't?” Stella Sahut.
Azam just looked at his wife gently, not wanting to ruin the mood of the woman who likes to go up and down.
“You know Al-Qashwa, the favorite camel of the Prophet SAW?” Azam asked while taking Stella around the farm.
Stella shook her head, she didn't know.
“Al-Qashwa is a witness to the struggle of the Prophet, as a mount to explore many areas in spreading the religion of Islam. Quoted from a book, it is said that the camel is also the one who determines the stopover when arriving in Medina.
The story is, at that time the sun was shining very hot in the city of Medina. It was called the Anshars were resting in front of the house. Then there was a Jew who came in a hurry.
‘Has it come?’ Ask some residents. ‘Iya, Muhammad SAW has come’ he replied.
Residents came out and lined up along the road to see the Prophet SAW. At that time the Prophet was sitting on the back of his camel. ‘Ya Rasulullah, stop at our house’ said a resident of Medina while approaching the Prophet SAW. In response, the Prophet gave only a smile, while the camel still continued to walk without stopping.
So on, many offered the Prophet SAW to stop at that time but, his camel did not want to stop. ‘Let us entertain you’ – ‘We have prepared a banquet for you’. Such is the offer made by them.
Then the Prophet came down from Al-Qashwa, leaving his camel to walk alone. Finally, the camel of the Prophet stopped in front of the land belonging to Bani Al Najjar, Abu Ayyun where the place is often used as a place to tether animal mounts. Apparently, the animal did not want to get up again. The Prophet and Abu Bakr finally stopped at the residence of Abu Ayyub for some time”
Stella nodded in understanding, she felt like she was being the little boy her father was talking to.
They returned with the milk from the squeeze, then headed for the bus to go to the next place, the plan they will go to the library of Makkah Al-Mukarramah.
That said, the library is the home of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The library is not far from the Grand Mosque. The shape is very simple, without pillars towering as other buildings around there.
It is light brown, sweetened with its dark brown windows. Stella was silent for a while to see the building, In front of her there is the inscription ‘Maktabah Makkah Al-Mukarramah’. On the left side of the building there are information written in six languages, namely, Arabic, English, Turkish, Indian, Urdu, and African Arabic.
‘To Muslim brothers, there is no pilgrimage in this place with the purpose of cult worship, because there is no postulate that explains about it’
That is how the information is written. The library looked quiet and the door was closed.
“Why quiet once?” Ask Stella.
“This is always closed like this especially when the Hajj season comes. Fear if later people even cult this place as a place of worship because it says this place is the birthplace of the prophet Muhammad SAW” Azam replied.
“Then why bring me here?” Stella asked, confused by her husband who even invited her to come to a place that should not be visited?
“If just to take pictures is okay, baby. As long as your destination is not for pilgrimage here” Sahut Azam, invite Stella to capture the moment with them.
Because it was close to the hotel, Azam finally invited his wife to stop at a food stall that could be on the takeaway to fill the stomach as their lunch.
Culinary outlets are located under Zamzam Tower and Hilton Tower. This food center is located in the front area of the haram mosque.
“The first position of this tallest tower where ya?” Stella muttered alone.
Without realizing it, it turns out that Azam heard it.
“Burj Khalifa, Dubai and the second is Shanghai Tower. If you follow him, Burj Khalifa once showed the face of Kim Taehyung in 2021 yesterday. It was a project that fans created for her”
“It turns out you also follow the world of K-popers?” Stella said it would be funny if her husband was talking about the world of K-pop. He said it did not match the appearance highlighted by the man.
“Hey, I'm still following Zama's progress. Kim Taehyung and his group brought work that inspired many young people, regardless of how similar beliefs and things are.” Azam replied, relaxed.
The man was indeed impressed very relaxed even though arguably his religion is quite strong.
“Mau setelag dzuhur prayer or later in the afternoon until the evening again a walk? Inside there is Zam-zam tower mall, there is also zam-zam tower museum” Tanya Azam.
In spirit, Stella replied, “then after dzuhur only. Later in the night we only need to rest for tomorrow” he said.
Azam finally nodded. After their order was completed in the process, Azam invited Stella to return to the hotel for a moment to clean themselves and perform congregational prayers at the illegal mosque.
After that, according to his promise, Azam actually brought Stella into the Zamzam tower mall first.
Stella was very excited to look at the souvenirs that were there.
“I'm very keen to buy everything” Murmured Stella.
There are souvenirs such as glasses, plates, melamine, children's toys, dolls, and many more. In addition, there are also sold fashion products for children to adults, such as shoes and bags.
After shopping, they turn to the Zamzam tower museum. It provides a wide range of information about the model of a galaxy-like universe.
Stella was astonished by the beauty presented before her.
“I don't want to go home, I want to be here” Stella said, she was so hot in Mecca. Although the weather was quite blistering, it did not cause Stella to retreat from the holy city at all.
“Iya, later if there is more sustenance, we leave the three with baby. May Allah SWT always give us enough sustenance to be able to return to kemari” said Azam while stroking the stomach of the wife.
Always, when Azam stroked Stella's stomach, she would always recite a prayer a little longer.
“Yes Allah SWT, keep my son as long as he is in my wife's stomach, so that he is because You are the Most Healthy. Form it in a good form in the belly of my wife, establish faith in You and Your Messenger in the belly of my wife. O Allah SWT get him out of my wife's stomach easily and safely.
O Allah SWT, make it whole, perfect, reasonable, intelligent, knowledgeable and charitable. Extend his age, so that his body, improve his appearance, and fluent in reading the hadith and Qur’an, with the blessings of Muhammad SAW, praise for Allah SWT, the God of all existence”
Stella always liked the way Azam whispered the prayer with the chanting of the holy verse from her husband's own words, so firmly she felt it.
Inside the museum, there are three floors. Where the first floor visitors will be greeted with a miniature universe to the galaxy using audio video illustrations.
On the second floor, it is devoted to describing the process of the moon, earth and sun spinning. And on the third floor, is to learn the method of determining the time and panorama of the city of Mecca.
“Subhanallah, tabarakallah” Stella said as she looked around.
“Honey, already want to enter ashar time. Here, usually the activity will be stopped because the place is also used for praying bersamaah” Azam said.
Stella understood so, she chose to stop her activities, take ablution and finally perform the Ashar prayer with the illegal mosque along with Azam and other worshipers.
