Pilgrimage To be Received

Hajj is the culmination of worship a Muslim as a redemption of the pillars of Islam five. Menganalogikan cleric pilgrimage as a fence for a building, which serves to maintain and beautify the building. His name is also a fence, may be made, if capable, but unable jiga, yes it's okay.

Unlike the other pillars of Islam. Creed compared with the foundation, and therefore must be strong. Five daily prayers are like the pole, which also must be sturdy. Fasting is like a wall, which also must stand strong. And charity is a roof, which serves to protect the contents of the building.

Pilgrimage, undertaken only for those who are capable of. Allah Almighty says, "Him there are signs of real, (in between) the Station of Abraham. Whoever entered it (the House) attains security. On the pilgrimage is a duty men owe to Allah, that is (for) those who can afford the journey. Whoever denies (liabilities haji), then Allah is Rich (No need of any) of the Worlds. "QS. Ali Imran: 97.

What is meant by or able sanggung here is able to get supplies, transportation, good health and safe perjalananpun.

Everyone wanted his house has an attractive fence and tidy. So is every Muslim must have longed for pilgrimage to the House of Al Haram. We pray that Allah allows us to make a beeline to his house. Pilgrimages not only to perform the pilgrimage, but can Umrah, a pilgrimage Nabiyullah Muhammad's tomb. his friends and Historian of history from time to time. "O God, for our ease pilgrimage to thy house Mulya and pilgrimage to the tomb of the Prophet that Thou Thy Mulyakan."

Hajj Preparation

First, the cost of Halal.

The only service that requires high cost, at least for Indonesia is a Muslim pilgrimage. Approximately fifty million should be prepared for the cost of the pilgrimage. Substantial funds that have resulted from a lawful source. In an authentic hadith narrated from Abu Hurairah, the Messenger of Allah said, "Verily Allah is Good, He did not receive anything (practice) except from a good source." HR. Muslim (Sahih Muslim, vol 5, pp. 192).

Someone who perform the pilgrimage of the sacred source of costs, so when he called out, "Labbaikallahumma labbaik, I fulfill your call O God." Then immediately reject Allah, "There is no word of welcome to you, there's no good speech for you." Wal iyadzubillah.

There are interesting stories in the days of Moses nabiyullah peace be upon him, where his people when it was hit by famine and drought. Then Moses gathered his people nabiyullah together to beristighatsah, pleading to Allah Almighty to rain down immediately. They raised hands in unison shouted, but the Angels answered with a loud voice, "aka Not-prayers answered your prayers, until one of you out of line, because he had eaten the forbidden treasure. Nabiyullah Moses did not dare and did not know who dimaskud. And people who feel masalahpun sources did not dare get out of line so everyone would know the ugliness. They pray repeatedly, and met the same response from the Angels. Until finally people who eat things forbidden to scream his heart, sorry because he was all so hard. He repent sincerely. At once Allah sends down rain. "

Second, because God Almighty Ikhlas Simply

Pilgrimage not because of shame with another person, like a boss go hajj pilgrimage because his subordinates have. Or want to be called with the title "Mr. Hajj". Or a proof of social status in society. Not because it is based only munanaikan pilgrimage by sincerity and keridhoan Allah alone as a form of servitude to Him.

Someone who went hajj with sincere intentions, will the grant do'anya when supplication, given a pardon when beristighfar. Messenger of Allah said narrated from Abu Hurairah, "The people who perform Hajj or Umrah are the guests of God. If they pray, will be granted. If they ask for forgiveness, must be forgiven. "HR. Ibn Majah (Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol 8, pp. 439).

Third, Armed Taqwa

Allah Almighty says in the pilgrimage circuit in order to equip themselves with taqwa, which is being prepared obedient to what Allah has commanded and His Messenger do and are ready to leave all that Allah forbids and His Messenger jahui. When malaksanakan pilgrimage. "Berbekallah, and indeed the best of provisions is piety, and fear Me O people of understanding." QS. Al-Baqarah: 197.

Including the provision here is that the material provisions in the Holy land is not eventually run out of provisions and beg.

Fourth, Mastering the Science of Pilgrimage

The usul scholars agree that science is more important and the priority of the charitable deeds. Because the charitable acts that are not based on science, but it will not be accepted lead to invent new things that banned religion.

Science is to know about Hajj is a pilgrimage related to harmony, harmony which if not performed Hajj Hajj becomes invalid.

The pillars of Hajj are as follows:

1. Ihram, which is dressed with the intention of ihram for Hajj or Umrah in miqat Makani.

2. Standing at Arafat, the withdrawal, dhikr, supplication, in the fields beristghfar Arafat on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah.

3. Thawah Ifadhah, which is around the Kaaba seven times, carried out after throwing jumrah Aqabah 1o on Dhul Hijjah.

4. Sa'i, ie walking or jogging between shafa and Marwa seven times, carried out after Thawaf Ifadhah.

5. Tahallul, the shaving or cutting the hair after the completion sa'i implement.

6. Order, namely working in accordance with the order and nothing is left behind.

Which is also known is compulsory Hajj, is a series of activities that must be done in a complementary pilgrimage of Hajj Pillars, which if not done to pay the dam (fines). Which includes mandatory pilgrimage is:

1. Ihram Intention for Hajj and Umrah from Miqat Makani, conducted after Ihram dress.

2. Mabit (overnight) at Muzdalifah on 9 Dhu al-Hijjah (the journey from Arafat to Mina).

3. Throwing Jumrah Aqabah on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah.

4. Mabit in Mina on the day Tasyrik (11,12,13 Date of Dhu al-Hijjah).

5. Throwing Jumrah Ula, Wustha, and Tasyrik Aqabah on the day.

6. Thawah Farewell, which is doing a farewell before leaving the city of Mecca.

7. Acts that are prohibited to leave ihram time, such as wearing perfume, combing, cutting the nails or hair, dressed in seamless.

Fifth, Mengetahu Sciences of Safar

Hajj or Umrah is a service that takes a long time and distant place. Means associated with Safar or travel. In fiqh people who are traveling to get a dispensation, a dispensation from God Almighty, as bertayamum, pray in JAMA 'or combined, in prayers or in shorten qashar into two rekaat.

This is where the appreciation of Islamic religion so much for this service, in addition to the above dispensation, Safar proved itself to be a stand-alone service, so we disunnahkan to pray when to leave, mendo'akan and dido'akan.

Even prayer will not be rejected is a prayer which was held at the time of Safar.

When the Holy Land

Basically, the pilgrimage that would take five days, starting from the date of 9 to 13 Dhu al-Hijjah Dhu al-Hijjah, which is associated with the pilgrimage along. No special readings or prayers, special prayers in the practice of pilgrimage. Benediction is famous chanted prayers broom universe, "Rabbana aatina fiddunya hasanah wafilaakhirati hasanah waqina adzabannar."

Things that should be avoided when the pilgrimage include: say no profanity or are invited lust, intercourse, or the sins of the wicked do, fight. God Almighty berfimran:

"(Winter) Hajj is understandably a few months, he who set the intention in the months it would on the pilgrimage, it may not rafats (The words that cause pleasure or intercourse), doing wicked and disputed in the period on the pilgrimage. And what do you do a good, Allah knows. "QS. Al-Baqarah: 197

Hajj more to do with physical. Around the Kaaba, jogging, throwing jumrah, Standing in the sun in the desert Arafat. Everything needs a healthy and physically fit.

Another thing that must be strengthened is patience, forgiveness, giving priority to siblings, to help others. Can be imagined more than two hundred million people gathered in one place at one time.

Returning in the country

A far more serious to defend the pilgrimage is kemabruran post pelaksaannya or when in everyday life. Kemabruran someone signs can be seen from the change in him. Is there a change to be better than before and stay istiqomah in obedience to the end of his life, or the same as before you perform the pilgrimage?.

Hajj which is accepted by Allah swt mabrur pilgrimage. Blessed are those who achieve mabrur pilgrimage, hajj mabrur because there is no return except heaven. Abu Hurairah ra said, Messenger of Allah said, "Haji mabrur no return except heaven. And the implementation of the 'umrah umrah others will remove errors between the two. "HR. Imam Ahmad (Musnad Imam Ahmad, Volume 15, Hal. 91).

It was time to correct his intention Muslims, intent on pilgrimage, and keep the spirit of pilgrimage in everyday life, so that would be born to the changes that are significant in their personal lives that automatically affects the social life and the nation.

This nation is intend to Karimah berakhlakul society, morals, has the lofty idealism that comes from true faith, so that the blessing-blessing of God Almighty will soon come down on earth, our beloved earth. Allahu knows best.
