My Personal Travel Log Haji 1430 H - Penyucian Jiwa di Tanah Suci (KT 80)

Hambamu ini Datang Menyahut PanggilanMu...

Perjalanan pergi ke Jeddah Airport amat mencabar dan kami ditakdirkan menaiki penerbangan KT 80..

Setelah 9 jam menempuh perjalanan dari Kelana Jaya up to take off di KLIA, kami dikejutkan oleh one peculiar announcement dlm flight Saudi airlines...it was a suprised as everyone mostly tertidur due to keletihan..it mentioned that the flight will turn back to KLIA after being in the flight for abt 1hr and that time we almost approach Teluk Benggala..reason stated, ader seorang jemaah dlm keadaan kritikal..this explains the ambulance which travel with our bus from KJ to KLIA just now...we saw a few commotion displayed by the air hostess at the seats far in front of us...ader beberapa doktor di kalangan jemaah oun turut menolong bergilir2 dgn cabin crew membuat CPR sepanjang perjalanan patah balik ke KLIA...tapi pesakit macam dah terkulai...

The worst part, it seemed that none of us were served with either food or water at all since we took off...Due to the condition of where we are turning back, the food had became stale and was unsafe to be served..nasib baiklah akak bawak roti sbg bekalan..that is after much persuasion to hubby to go and buy some food supplies in case of emergency...

Some of the passenger dah start making complaints as most of us lapar dan penat..others have to take some food for their medications..ader yg mundar mandir, and luckily or unluckily cuma ader satu this male stewardess (Malaysian) yang patiently melayan karenah penumpang...yang lain2 (ladies stewardess), asyik ckp "one moment", tapi air yg di minta tak datang2..hangin betul!!

Another announcement came that the pilot will have to drain out the jet fuel in the air in order to make the landing at KLIA...and everybody start to feel cemas and takut although the weather was sunny...

Our mouth and heart tak lepas2 berzikir and berdoa semoga tiada kejadian buruk berlaku..and after 4-5 hrs, we landed at KLIA...the critical patient was removed from the flight and after 1-2 hrs, catering came and load in a new batch of food supply, refuelling and masa tu kami memang buat cam rumah sendiri..nak air pergi amik sendiri kat pantry dia..Finally, around 1 something, barulah kami di beri kebenaran utk terbang semula ke Jeddah,....what a day!!

Org kata pergi ke Mekah penuh dgn cabaran, and for us the challenges just started..Bayangkan we are delayed by 9 hrs plus together with 80 ribu gelen of jet fuel yang dibazirkan utk berpatah balik ke KLIA...

After 8 hrs, we finally arrived at Jeddah airport slps memasang niat ihram di miqat di atas flight at around 4.30pm something..

Another chapter of challenges begin with the immigrations there...we went through strict checks and a couple of check points (rasanya lebih dari 10 kot)..each stop check passport, visa etc..etc..tak tahulah Pak Arab ni berapa byk kali kena check daa...

The worst part is bila hubby & other para jemaah lelaki muda kena scrutinized sampai 10 jari prints kena scan..dah terang2 passport Malaysia tu, boleh tanya lagi Malaysia, Indonesia, Java...kalau tak dek kerana mengenangkan dlm keadaaan berihram, sure Pak Arab tu dah makan penyepak kot??!!

Akak pulak dah letih tunggu kat carousel amik beg siap susun beg2 besar tu atas trolley, pun hubby tak lepas2 lagi kat immigration check point...ish manalah mamat ni tak lepas2 lagi nih..finally setelah habis, we move to a resting area while waiting for Maghrib prayer...

Muka2 letih dah tak larat..


Sempat lagi check kalu ader makanan lapik perut..lapar beb..

Beg2 yang akan dipunggah ke bas2


Slps solat, kami mula bergerak actually beratur utk menaiki bas..after the long awaited arrangement, kami dapat menaiki bas yang disediakan oleh pihak muassasah and alhamdulillah di beri packed food atas bus..masing2 apa lagi makan walaupun terlalu keletihan...then bus journey took another 1 hr plus to kota al-haram Mekah sambil kami bertahmid...semangat mula berkobar2 nak masuk ke tanah haram despite badan yang sgt letih...halfway through, kebanyakan jemaah mula tertidur..laungan tahmid Labaikkallah semakin perlahan...slowly we enter to a check point..di sana air zam2 dan sedikit kuih muih di edarkan kepada kami di dalam bas..badan yang dah lenguh sana sini mula menunjukkan protes..nak stretch up pun tempat di dlm bas agak sempit..so buntut pun dah terasa kematu dan kebas...tak lama signboard Haram starts here mula kelihatan...pst tak sompek nak amik gambar..dah letih and some part tertido...dan perlahan kami mengeluarkan buku panduan membaca doa memasuki tanah haram sambil mengucapkan rasa syukur...

Mata kami mula melilau kepada pemandangan rumah2 dan kedai2 dlm kota haram...sambil itu mula mencari menara masjid yang paling mulia di bumi Masjidil Haram...lebih kurang 40 min, kami sampai ke pusat kota Makkah, dan melihat berduyun2 para jemaah haji yang sedang berjalan2 atau bershopping di kedai2 sekitarnya...ader yg mengangkut tilam, beg, cerek dan segala bangsa dapat dilihat..Ust Daud Che Ngah (ketua rombongan haji Andalusia) naik ke bas dan menyambut kedatangan kami di sana..setiap seorang diberikan tasbih yg akan menjadi kwn baik kami selama di tanah suci...
