Just infront of our home - left around 6.15 am in the morning of 6th Zulhijjah 1430. Two cars heading to Mutiara Restaurant the gathering place . The trip from Riyadh to Makkah . The bus stopped about 2 km from Masjidil Haram. Arrived around 4.30am 8th Zulhijjah 1430 and we walked towards Masjidil Haram for tawaf. Just about to start the tawaf at the Kaabah area - suddenly the the call to prayer berkumandang..rush to find a place in the saf. Did subuh prayer and later continue with the Tawaf Qudum and Hajj Saie. Completed both around 7.40am.
In Mina camp. Heard about .. seen it before - finally experience it on my own. Immediately reached Mina I grab my power extension to charge the "dead" GPS tracker and my phone. The old Nokia phone belongs to Jakfar . My sofa bed in Mina - next to mine is my old A Level buddy Raznan.
Aminur Rizal Afif The license to do Hajj - the tasreeh. On these few days - everyone despite ranks or wealth are equal -- being "regular Joe" in ihram. Right after tawaf Qudum and Saie with Halim at around 7.40am on 8th of Zulhijah.
Leaving Mina to Arafah around 2.30am 9th of Zulhijjah. Reached Arafah around 5am The sky of Arafah 9th Zulhijjah 1430. On this great day, you have few hours to make make all the wishes to your Creator - I prepared a wish list for me , family and friends.
The camp in Arafah . There was no light when we arrived in this dark camp. Prayed subuh and stayed there until maghrib. Leaving to Muzdalifah at the parking area- waiting for Maghrib azan. The road from Mina to Arafah .
