Acts of the Jemaah Haji candidates in China
One winter day, Ma Xiulan sat on the floor with the 200 people in a hall in Beijing. 74-year-old woman with carefully listening to a lecture from a man who stood at the pulpit. Ma, who came all the way from the Inland Mongolia Autonomous Region, looked calm and ready for long journey.
Forty-eight hours later, she was sitting quietly in the entourage on the plane that will fly for 12 hours to Saudi Arabia. Travel long coveted Ma Xiulan was finally achieved, which is run hajj.
Like all prospective pilgrims flock in China, he had to undergo various training and debriefing, including hearing a lecture from the man in the pulpit. The contents of his speech, religious policies and the Government of China abroad.
Son Ma Xiulan faithfully waiting outside the building and occasionally watched her with worry. "He was weak. I hope he can run for 38 days of worship safely, "said Ma Wenhua, the son of Ma's 51-year-old.
Every Muslim must perform the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime. Visiting the long-planned Ma Xiulan for years. However, the main obstacle is the intention Ma money. So the whole family, including husband Ma Xiulan with three sons and one daughter, shoulder to shoulder raise money for 30,000 yuan (approximately USD 34.8 million) for the purposes of pilgrimage costs.
Hajj organizers near the house managed Ma Xiulan local Islamic associations receive 24,170 yuan (approximately USD 28 million) to set-trip plane ticket and passport production, visa, and other costs. The rest of the money is used Ma for other purposes such as buying food in Mecca and buy train tickets from the Inland Mongolia to Beijing.
"My parents' income comes only from the father's pension of 800 yuan (approximately USD 928,000) per month. So the cost of this pilgrimage to dredge almost all their savings, "said Ma Wenhua. Actually last year Ma was ready and signed up for the pilgrimage. However, registration was rejected by the bureau service provider of local pilgrimage because it exceeded the quota.
Bai Zhihui, vice chairman of the Islamic Association of the Inland Mongolia Autonomous Region, revealed that the government of Saudi Arabia each year to apply quotas to determine how many potential pilgrims come from China are allowed to perform hajj.
This year, the Inland Mongolian people have a quota 233, or up 20 percent from the number of years ago. In last November, Ma Xiulan happy not to play because his application to perform the pilgrimage and finally approved immediately prepare. Among other things, prepare a five kilograms (kg) of rice, three pounds of flour, three pounds of dried noodles, eight kg of processed foods and some dried vegetables and lamb.
It all made provisions for Ma Xiulan in Saudi Arabia to save money. He had intended to cook his own meals in the inn that was ordered by the Islamic Association of China in Mecca.
The challenge for the Elderly
When Ma Xiulan want to save money for the pilgrimage because of capital mediocre, not the case with a pair You Zhanxian (77) and Ma Lanying (75). The husband and wife are already preparing U.S. $ 2000 (Rp18.165.000) just to buy food while in Saudi Arabia.
"I have enough money from real estate business. So my wife and I will go. Five children all are here to take our departure, "said You, who was half deaf, so speak loudly.
He admitted that he had a lot of reading about the Hajj pilgrimage to know that it certainly will cause challenges for the older people like himself and his wife. "The weather is hot and there will be many people. However, we are ready with these challenges, "You said with a smile.

Piety Pilgrimage and Financial
Syafiii priest once said, "If Muslims think about the content of surah Al-Asr, necessarily (the guidelines) provide them". By following the Imam Syafei way of thinking, without due respect to him and the clergy, I would say something like, "If Muslims [Indonesia] think about the content of the Messenger of God that the word 'person on the Day of Resurrection would be questioned about how property acquired and how to use it ', "they provide the instructions necessary".
Thought to be the word of the Apostle is believed to build our awareness of the Hour. Awareness that any property acquired and incurred by us of how much will be held accountable in the hereafter. In turn, this awareness will be a barrier for us to make corruption and corrupt behavior. In that context, we can be said to have become a man who has a financial piety.
However, our awareness of the Hour which has built a time to waver or inconsistent, which may be caused by the peliknya and dilemma in seeking out treasures and benada. At this point, Allah Almighty made the pilgrimage as the pillars of Islam. Hajj obligation has side effects (side effect) in terms of strengthening our awareness of the Hour of property. Because the obligations of the pilgrimage in its implementation requires no small amount of property will encourage us to seek and collect and properly issued because the property will be used to fulfill the commandment of Allah, Most Holy. And this will be one factor of whether or not received our pilgrimage, because God will only accept the Hajj of a lawful livelihood.
Because maybe the obligations of the pilgrimage so far has not done is caused more by our attitude in the use of property is always wasteful and inefficient. So until whenever we're not going to be people who can afford it, because every property owned always been so alone, with no one excluded either by road or berinfaq saving in preparation for the implementation of the purposes of pilgrimage. Ability as a mandatory requirement by our pilgrims are expected to come without an invitation. Therefore, a street vendor do not wait a hundred vendors [restaurant], or a private employee who set minimum wage income [Minimum Wage], do not wait until earnings pegged tongue. Likewise with a business man can not wait for a large project. Chinese proverb says, "begins a thousand steps from one step". Start learning now than we spend whatever amount of income also studied diligently out zakat, infaq, and Sadaqah, because through charity rather than diminished our property even increased. With these two movements one time, God willing, the pilgrimage can be done. So that when his death, and the pilgrimage unfulfilled, intentions and efforts and concrete steps we've written as a man who had tried as much as possible in order to perform the pilgrimage. God Almighty. although he omniscient, but He Will not Know the size of money set aside by us, that He is the intention and know the business and the concrete steps that we do. That is what will make us respectable and dignified death.
Hajj obligations can be a trigger (triggers) for us to become a man who has a financial kesalehen personality. A devout financially, he was not only able to find the right property but also in property can act out correctly.

We Mabrurkah Hajj?
"Whoever with the intention of performing Hajj solely for Allah, not to say dirty and do wicked, then he will be a holy figure like a baby born by his mother," (Bukhari)
The ideals of all those who perform the pilgrimage, in addition to accepted Hajj (fulfilled), is also more important to mabrur Hajj, the pilgrimage to obtain the special assessments on the side of Allah SWT. Haji mabrur promised special virtues of the Prophet Muhammad: "There is no heavenly reward hadj pilgrimage mabrur addition," (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim)
Haji ordinary fulfilled intentions achieved through refinement, harmonious, conditions, and the sunna Hajj, the pilgrimage mabrur but takes time to realize it. In addition, the character and also require a reliable individual characters and consistently (stay istiqomah).
What's really mabrur pilgrimage, how to achieve it, and how to defend it. Hajj positive impact not only on mabrur concerned themselves, but also in the wider community. Haji mabrur can be a powerful cadre in completing the various problems of our society and nation. Thus, the embodiment of pilgrimage mabrur worth all parties.
Haji mabrur not measured during the implementation process of the pilgrimage, but especially after the pilgrimage itself. Hajj mabrur criteria also require social conditions as explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an.
Whoever set the intention in the month it will on the pilgrimage, it may not rafats, do wicked, and the dispute in the period on the pilgrimage. And, what do you do a good, Allah knows. Berbekallah, and indeed the best of provisions is piety, and fear Me O people of understanding (Surah Al-Baqarah [2]: 197).
Dirty words and reckless, do mischief (wicked), and the dispute was given special emphasis by Allah SWT. Dare we decide the sins of our customers over the years, both the little ones especially the big ones. Are the people around, especially families, already feeling the positive vibrations from us. In other words, if we take good pilgrimage in society, especially in our closest family environment.
To raise awareness in an effort to reach spiritual pilgrimage mabrur, the introduction of meaning and the symbols of pilgrims have also received special attention, especially the esoteric meaning of a place that many people get attention.
Thawaf institutions, for example, as a legacy of the Prophet Adam, in addition to mimicking the way to worship the angels, also mimicked the behavior of the universe. This all proves that man as a microcosm of particles must also submit and surrender (Islam) and consistently stay istiqomah) to Khaliqnya. The ideal of a Muslim state is other than total submission to Allah SWT also have to emit enlightenment values in life. Not only upholds individual piety, but also social piety.
In the cycle of everyday life, people always run tawaf functions. The people who bertawaf on the right track, they are called the people who walk on the straight path, the path of bliss (shirath alladzina an'amta 'alaihim).
Polytheists, or those who do double loyalty and servitude to more than one object that should be worshiped, rail travel has indeed deviated in his life so that God describes in Surah Al-Hajj:
"Anyone who ascribe things to God, it was as though he fell from the sky and struck by a bird, or the wind to distant places," (Sura Al-Hajj [22]: 31)
Those who deviate from the global system and universal values as determined God is not classified as mabrur pilgrimage, perhaps even the real concerned people astray. Conscience (light) in their hearts went out replaced with dlulmani heart, liver dark. Opaque inner mirror can no longer catch nur, divine light.
They were alienated by the glitter of the life of the world. They were very potential to justify any means to fulfill his wish. They are no longer thrilled in watching the suffering of the dlu'afa 'increasingly dla'if for such pervasive individualism in mind. Such people are difficult to feel the serenity and tranquility essential because in his soul is filled power struggle, excessive ambition, and in the end they felt exhausted because sucked by its own energy. This was predictable that as long as someone is still like this, it's hard mabrur pilgrims would be with us.
The temptation to maintain the pilgrimage mabrur also not easy because sometimes we have to face is not someone else, but yourself. The tips keep pilgrimage kemabruran concerned of course expected to continue to maintain social worship worship mahdlah parallel. May the hujjaj we obtain the pilgrimage this year mabrur.
