....The bus moved at lowest velocity... one of the members in the bus decide to collect some money to give the driver some tip... its worked! so half way to Mecca the bus moved normally again. [sigh.. owh ok that's life...]
Stopped at Bir 'Ali for niat Umrah the journey continued and arrived Makkah after 4 hrs journey.. check in into the hotel Safwa and went to the Masjidil Haram for Umrah...
'
terasa sebak di dada ini memandang ke arah Kaabah... ya Allah telah tertunai hajatku untuk menziarahi rumahmu Baitullah... betapa jauh perjalanan ini untuk ku sampai disini, betapa barakah tempat ini...
I followed mutawwif along the way until finish all the wajib things to do, then went back to hotel to have a rest and dinner.

The next day visiting historical holy places where Rasulullah hide from enemy before hijrah to Madinah- Jabal Thur, then few other places before went to Hudaibiah Mosq for niat ihram again.
the hudaibiah is the place where Rasulullah had the agreement to enter the Mecca.
The other day, i join my clique to visit Jabal Nur, where the Hira' cave located. The place where Rasulullah received the first verse of AlQuran - Iqra". The mountain is quite high and i managed to climb halfway and stop, and wait for my friends to came down.

The next day visit was Padang Arafah and Mina where al Haj pilgrim gather during Haj.


On the day 10, i had my last visit and pray at the Kaabah before return home.
the most sad moment when did the tawaf wida' - goodbye ,
but the doa - that I will be back soon.
