MIQAT           <BR>
Performing Hajj to Baitullah      <BR>

To depart with nafsu ‘l-muthmainah      <BR>

To accomplish Thawaf, sorrounding the Ka’bah     <BR>

Attending Allah’s call                 <BR>

Mecca city is the main purpose                 <BR>

Where the Baitullah is laying down         <BR>

The Holy place full of ‘barakah’           <BR>

A Guidence for all of the human being         <BR>

When you reach the Miqat             <BR>

Be a full of persistent person            <BR>

Having a drive the complete the aim             <BR>

Closer and more, to Allah            <BR>

Miqat is the start of Hajj              <BR>

Leaving the daily clothes and attributes             <BR>

Deliberate the egoisme              <BR>

For the only Allah Almightiness            <BR>

that’s the core of Hajj             <BR>

Put down our foot in Miqat            <BR>

The start of journey to the hereafter           <BR>

Wearing Ihram like a corpse   <BR>

Intending Umroh after praying   <BR>

THAWAF                 <BR>                    

Arrival in the Holy Land       <BR>                    
Everyone begin to be quite    <BR>                    
Praying in the peaceful heart  <BR>                    
Straigh forward to Masjid ‘l-haram  <BR>                    

When Ka’bah appears, prayer is uphold  <BR>                    
Baitullah stands in the majesty existence   <BR>                    
The kindness for the glorified  <BR>                    
Upholding honour   <BR>                    

Ka’bah is the direction of standing aim  <BR>                    
Eight corners and six sides   <BR>                    
The meaningfull blackstone  <BR>                    
The symbol of Allah Greatness  <BR>                    

When performing Thawaf around Ka’bah  <BR>

Every one submerge in the ocean of silence  <BR>

They are in the whole similarities  <BR>

A symbole of the essence of life  <BR>

Stride along approaching the Ka’bah  <BR>

Thrab of the heart in the breast   <BR>

Tears drop over the wrinkled cheeks  <BR>

Feeling the presence of His Highness  <BR>

All move direct to the only one object  <BR>

Pushed by the pulses of heartbeating  <BR>

Never backward even one step  <BR>

Flowing away goes to the sea  <BR>

Bowed down in the orbit  <BR>

Dissolved in the power of love  <BR>

Releasing the egoism  <BR>

There is only Allah in the mind  <BR>

Saying: ‘Bismillahi Allahu Akbar’  <BR>

It begin with the step of the right leg  <BR>

Concentrated in praying   <BR>

A movement drived by the full faith  <BR>

SA’I                 <BR>
Sa’i will be started from the top of Hill Shafa  <BR>
the ending is Hill Marwa  <BR>
Running from one hill to another  <BR>
Tracing the same path  <BR>

It simbolizes the persistence of effort  <BR>
Hajar will not give up at all  <BR>
Each step is hopefull  <BR>
Ismail is thirsty  <BR>
He needs a drop of water <BR>

Shafa is a starting point of a holy intentions  <BR>
Sa’i is a hard effort on our own foot  <BR>
 Run and run away to catch the aim  <BR>
Marwa is a satisfaction of trust in God  <BR>

Zamzam, the holy water, is flowing out  <BR>
Overcome the thirsty after Sa’I  <BR>
Water the source of subsistance on the earth  <BR>
How great Allah compassion for us  <BR>

Thundering of  zamzam in the desert  <BR>
Flowing under Ismail’s foot  <BR>
Here, the seeking of subsistane is complete  <BR>
While drinking, he remembers Allah in his mind and heart  <BR>
  
The brain become bright  <BR>
and the heart become clear  <BR>
The veil is unvarnishedly  <BR>
and the faith is growing up  <BR>
Come in to brightness and beauty  <BR>
Full of blessing and glory  <BR>

WUQUF : JUMRAH  <BR>
Labbaik Allahumma labbaika  <BR>
( Here I am, and I am at Your service) <BR>
Get alonh the step forward  <BR>
Heart feeling over troubled water  <BR>
Linkaged one another makes the beauty better  <BR>

Leaving Ka’bah straight to Arafah  <BR>
A symbol of the first life creation  <BR>
A trace of Adam and Eva’s love  <BR>
That is a sign of the first knowledge  <BR>

Umrah is ended, and Haji is started  <BR>
Walking together in the crowds to Arafah  <BR>
Drop in Muzdalifah for a moment  <BR>
Executing Jumrah in Mina  <BR>

Back to Mecca performing Thawaf Ifadhah  <BR>
A sequence of worship is complete   <BR>
It’s followed by visiting Madinah  <BR>
Arbain praying and visiting Rasulullah’s grave  <BR>

Back to the country, to meet the family  <BR>
Embraced by tears of happiness  <BR>
Cradled by the sound from beyond above : <BR>
‘Al-hajju ‘l-mabruur laisa lauhu ‘l-jazaa’ illaa ‘l-jannah’.  <BR>

                                                                                              (  By H, Arifin Arief  )  <BR>
