My dad, my mom, my sister and I did umroh in Tanah Suci
Makkah Al- Mukarramah. At the time, we joined in Makkah Utama Tour. At least 39
people joined in Makkah Utama Tour. We got some uniform clothes and we wore it
during umroh. We went to umroh on December 27, 2016. My aunt saw off us at the
airport. We went by Emirates Airlanes at Soekarno - Hatta International Airport
and transited in Dubai. We were taking flight around 9 hour from Indonesia to
Dubai. It was along journey. Even though we took a flight on the plane. We were
still doing fardhu prayer by tayamum.
On December 28, we arrived at Dubai International Airport. We
were taking flight around 3 hour to Prince Mochammed International Airport. In our
planning we did umroh activity as long as 9 days. First of all, we visited
Madinah Al-Munawarah for 3 days.
During in Madinah, we stayed in Hilton Hotel and we got a
good facility in the hotel. Our hotel was near to the Nabawi mosque so we were
doing fardhu prayer in there. We were very amazed when we were coming of Nabawi
mosque. Nabawi mosque was so beautiful. Interior and exterior design of Nabawi
was very nice. The automatic umbrella surrounded of Nabawi mosque area. It opened
automatically at noon and it closed automatically at night.
Furthermore, we could visit Rawddah in the Nabawi mosque (Rawddah
is grave of prophet Muhammad) and many people would visit it. As a result,
everybody who entered to Rawddah they had to queue. We said Alhamdulillah to
Allah SWT, because ould group could
enter Rawddah successfully. We did sunnah prayer in Rauddah direct
. During in Madinah, we bought a lot of kind souvenirs for
our family. We visited a shopping center every night. We enjoyed in Madinah city.
After 3 days in Madinah, we went to Makkah city for a days. We
went to Makkah by bus and we were taking
a trip as long as 9 hours. When we arrived in Makkah city. We took miqat
in Bir Ali. As a woman we couldn’t show our aurat so we were wearing a moslem
clothes. Most of us wore a mukena. Where as for a man, they had to wear kain
ihram. When we had did miqat in Bir Ali, we went to hotel directly. We stayed in
Royal Dar Al Eiman Hotel, Mekkah city. It located in front of Masjidil Haram. We
took a rest for a while in the hotel. After that, we did umroh in Masjidil
Haram. We saw ka’bah. Then, we did tawaf.
When we did tawaf, we should keep our wudhu. All of us arounded
ka’bah 7 times and we said “Labaikkallahumma labbaik labbaikkalaasyarikalaka
labbaik innal hamda wanni’mata laka walmuk laa syarikala.” After we had finished
tawaf, we did sa’i in safa Marwah. First we started sa’i from Safa to Marwah,
then it continued from Marwah to Safa until 7 times. In Makkah we visited some
historical places, such as: Padang Arafah, Jabbal Rahmah, etc. Most of us were
waiting on the bus. We were also visited Pasar Kurma such as kurma chocolate
and kurma candy. We bought a lot of kurma in there
