In MAKKAH Monorail USD 60 Trillion Operations Only Two Days in a year

Transport Hajj in Mecca pilgrimage season starting next year will change the total. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is preparing a mass transportation modes are very efficient and environmentally friendly, so the journey to Arafat during the peak pilgrimage more comfortable.

nan holy erjalanan colossal from Mecca to Arafat (via Mina and Muzdalifah) traditionally happened yesterday was the last. Next year the way he has changed completely: use the monorail. No more menyemut bus lines, which can only nggeremet speed 5 km / h, even more often stops altogether. If not, can still walk for a distance of 20 kilometers it.

Once the pilgrimage season this year is complete, the project of Mecca, Mina, Muzdalifah, and Arafat was immediately started. Within 10 months of this project must be completed, so that could be used in next year's Hajj season. Railroad would be built on the ground with poles as tall as a buffer between 5 to 10 meters, depending on local circumstances. Number of tracks four lanes: two left, two back. The cost of this project do not be surprised: Rp 60 trillion.

Change is certainly a revolution in the pilgrimage arrangements. In the old days, everyone would walk or ride a camel. Then, when the number of people made the pilgrimage continued to grow, diadakanlah motorized transportation. Each year the number of buses continued to add: last year the bus has reached 25,000.

The bus had two kinds: there are regular buses, some that did not use the roof. Understandably, one thinks that in this sacred journey, not riding the roof. Hajj is not valid. This followed the old guidelines that the trip was the relationship between man and God in the heavens should be straightforward: there should be no barrier. Likewise, when undergoing the ritual pilgrimage peaks, ie half a day sunbathing on the Arafat plain, should not be under the tent.

Despite years of becoming more and more tents (there is even an air-conditioned), still too many who think of worship as it was not accepted the Lord. There are currently no information whether the monorail which connects Makkah and Arafat later also two types: the monorail is not roofed and the roof. Or all of it roofed so that the opinion "unauthorized roofed" can choose the old way: on foot.

We never walk when leading a group of young children from Java Post Group. Departure from Mecca at 4 PM, arrived at Arafat at 23:30. Along the way crowded not play. If more tired and almost hopeless, we always see an old woman who was strong to continue on foot. Along the way a lot of vendors who sell all kinds of food and beverages: tea, coffee, Coca-Cola, water, and various cakes. On foot, if not exhausted, be faster than taking the bus. Understandably, more than 2 million people have departed from the same place, to the same place through the same path. Only, vehicle lane and pedestrian path is not the same. At a distance where the two roads is rather close (about 500 meters) so that we can see what a logjam of cars on the track there. Sometimes the distance is far apart the two lines so that we can only dimly see.

One disadvantage of using these vehicles are: the vehicle can not arrive at Arafat within the limits of time: before 12:00 o'clock in the Hari Raya Haji. Every year there were thousands of pilgrims who "late" like that, which many people believed, actually make unauthorized worship.

Next year, with a monorail, traveling for 6 to 10 hours could be shortened to only one hour! This monorail will stop at several stations according to a predefined schedule. Including stops at some point where the concentration of very dense residential population.

Managing travel only 20 kilometers it was extremely difficult and tight. Understandably, all the way millions of people regarding it should be done in two days. Although there is asking for ideas hadj not just once a year, yet no one can start. Understandably, the off-season pilgrimage, Arafahnya own fields closed. Hold the key government officials of Saudi Arabia Wahabi wing. Namely, the flow of the opinion that Hajj season should only be done in the month of pilgrimage as ever. We've berumrah together religious leaders from Indonesia, which is desperate to off-season haj pilgrimage. But, there can not change her mind. Hit technical problems such as how to open the gate Arafat plain.

So you can imagine, the monorail worth Rp 60 trillion that was in one year will only be used practically in two days! What to do with the rest either. Except for the Makkah-Mina route is still there surrounding residents. However, for point-Muzdalifah and Mina-Arafat Muzdalifah, there is practically no human being who lived there. We had to Muzdalifah and Arafat in the off-season pilgrimage: really just a desert. Mina is still there in the building of small hotels with air-conditioning window visible from the outside, but the building was empty. The air-conditioning, for a year, also just started a two-day pilgrimage season. In fact, when the pilgrimage season, could get the hotel patio just been lucky. Especially if you can stop urinating.

Modernization of infrastructure facilities in Makkah (Mecca Mandarinnya language: Mei Jia, which means "beautiful house") and its surroundings would have brought major changes in the behavior of pilgrims. Increasingly heavy task of supervising all the pilgrimage: not only how to use the toilet on the plane, but also how one day live in air-conditioned rooms with modern facilities. Including how the procedure serbaotomatis monorail ride. Our pilgrims, can be more visible keterbelakangannya.

Modernization of transport infrastructure for the little people, should indeed take precedence with two objectives: the modern services for small people (not just the rich who can modern life), and increase self-confidence as a nation.

With the change in the face of Makkah in total this time, the image of the Islamic center that was going to change. Including open-minded people who've been there. The loss of the Zamzam well in the Masjid Al Haram, for example, had been accepted at last. Court in Masjid Al Haram is now more spacious and roomy. Building Zamzam well is now completely dismantled: leveled. Zamzam well water was channeled in a modern way to somewhere else: one can obtain Zamzam water in the new place, which is far from the mosque. So if there are pilgrims who used to feel more complete if washed with Zamzam water in his native place, now forced to "give in" to modernization. Zamzam water remains wudunya, but do not ask again where the original source.

In fact, now there is a discourse that the tomb of the Prophet Abraham's near the shrine will also be evicted. Also intended to be in the mosque's courtyard and spacious flat. Thus, there is no longer the bottle neck in the flow of people who do tawaf (walking around the Ka'ba as much as nine times) in the location of the tomb of Prophet Abraham. So far, the crowd always try to stop there: from the will made a prayer, just like holding a part of the tomb, or even a mere peek at what's there. In that discourse, the small building the tomb was removed, and the floor given the opaque glass to look down the ground. But this discourse has not reached the level of planning.

Efforts to increase the capacity of mosques are being implemented. Began to build a special place for people with disabilities tawaf to increase the capacity of the sa'i new this year at all.

In Mecca, in the last ten years and to ten years ahead not only will always be changes, but there are always new!

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.

"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.

Prophet said: which means,

"Haji mabrur was no reward except Paradise." (Bukhari)

Hajj pilgrimage mabrur is accepted by Allaah. Many signs. Among these are should be a living (cost) of the hajj is a legitimate business for a living became an important pivot of human life, even more so in the affairs of the pilgrimage. Even mentioned that if someone made the pilgrimage to the cost of the property is lawful, then there will be caller who said, "Bekalmu halal and kosher vehicle, then one mabrur hajimu." As if he left the pilgrimage of the sacred treasure, the caller was going to cry, "La labbaika wala sa'daika. Bekalmu unlawful and illegitimate nafkahmu, then rejected hajimu not be rewarded. "Or with a call to convey the same. Thus, among the signs of pilgrimage dikerjakandengan mabrur is if the cost of living and the lawful business.

Similarly, among the signs are if people do manasiknya pilgrimage in accordance with the procedures and the desired disyari'atkan without reducing at all, and away from all the prohibitions of Allah while doing the pilgrimage.

Among all the signs are if the person's pilgrimage back in the state of religious practice is better than before departure, which he returned in a state repent to Allaah, stay istiqomah (consistently) in the run-obedience obedience to Him, and continuously in such conditions. That way, Hajj becomes the starting point for him to upset the good circumstances, and always be a reminder for him to memeperbaiki way of life.

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.
