MAKKAH – Approaching the peak of Hajj in Armina (Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina) all pilgrims from Banyuwangi began to make some preparations. One of them is by washing dirty clothes and drying around the hotel area.
Lucky, Banyuwang pilgrims occupy a hotel that provides washing machine facilities and a drying area. One of the congregation, Zuroida lmawan reports, the hotel party Masakin Al Hayat flying place 37 stay provides washing machine facilities which are quite a lot.
In addition, there is also a fairly spacious drying area. Congregants take advantage of these facilities, to prepare ahead of departure for the implementation of armina.
“If the clothes are not washed and dried in the sun, the preparation will be tight and it can interfere with worship,” said Zuroida. Meanwhile, in between waiting for the time of Wukuf, some pilgrims from KBIH Sabilillah visited Hudaibiyah, yesterday (24/8).
To reach Hudaibiyah, have to cover a distance of approx 20 kilometers traveled. The congregation also intends to perform umrah sunnah with the miqat of Hudabiyah. “In this place the congregation is introduced to the history of Hudaibiyah, where in the time of the Prophet SAW there was an agreement between the Muslims and the infidels of Quraysh which occurred in the 6th year of Hijri in the month of Dzulqaidah,” said Susi Yurida Irawati.
Rasulullah established Hudaibiyah as one of the several places of miqat (intending to start Hajj or Umrah) for prospective pilgrims who want to perform Hajj or Umrah. In Hudaibiyah, which is in the area outside the boundaries of Taman Haram, there is a mosque that is often used by prospective pilgrims for Hajj and Umrah to bathe., perform prayers, and start the intention of ihram.
On the right side of the mosque there is an old building that is no longer intact. In this location, the birth of the treaty of Hudaibiyah which became the beginning of the conquest of Makkah by the Muslims under the leadership of the Prophet SAW.
Approaching the implementation of Armina, all crew members, starting from the head of the group, worship guides and medical officers are gathered in each sector. This was done because the system for transporting pilgrims this year was different from the previous year.
This year the transportation of pilgrims uses a per -floor system of the hotel and not mining. Although most of the floors are one group and some places have more than one group.
“The fear of the congregation not being in one bus in a group makes it a problem in itself. It needs socialization to the congregation. Coupled with the presence of pilgrims who carry out the Tarwiyah program, where the group of pilgrims preceded coming to Armina one day before the day of Arofah,” said the head of the group 37, intercession.
Meanwhile, closing date or the closing of the city area of makkah on 28 August 2017 until 6 September 2017 also has an impact on the cessation of hajj catering by the government. While in Mecca, the congregation gets as much food as 25 The given times start entering Makkah City and ends at the closing date and starts again after the closing date, 6 September 2017.
For consumption needs during the closing date, pilgrims can buy food which is sold by traders or stalls around the hotel by using the living cost or the refund received by the congregation at embarkation of 1.500 real.
“Some of the worshipers also cook themselves using magic com,” he said. (radar)
