Pada hari Sabtu saya telah membuat artikel bertajuk Puncak bukit (Summit of the hill of) Safa lalu menyebutnya sebagai satu dari 2 puncak bukit yang harus dituju berulang-alik dalam ibadah yang dipanggil sa'ie. Sekarang biar ditunjukkan puncak lagi satu iaitu di bukit Safa.

On Saturday I made an article titled Puncak bukit (Summit of the hill of) Safa and mentioned it as one of the 2 peaks of hills which one must head to and fro in the act of worship called the sa'ie. Now let the other peak which is on the hill of Safa be shown.

Tidak seperti puncak bukit Safa yang agak curam puncak di sini agak mendatar.

Unlike the peak of Safa hill which is rather steep the peak here is rather even.

Maka itu ia terus dibuka kepada umum. Dapatlah orang ramai menjejakkan kaki di atasnya...
Thus it continued to be opened to the public. Thus people at large could step their foot on top of it...

Masjid (Mosque of) Taneem

Continued from Rumah tempat Nabi Muhammad SAW dilahirkan (The house where Prophet Muhammad SAW was born at).

Selepas menziarahi tempat kelahiran Nabi kami mendapatkan teksi untuk ke Masjid Taneem (disebut Tana'im).

After visiting the place where the Prophet was born at we took a taxi to get to the mosque of Taneem (pronouced Tana'im).

Terletak sekitar 7 km dari Masjidil Haram ia adalah masjid terdekat di luar sempadan Tanah Haram.

Situated around 7 km from the Masjidil Haram (holy mosque of) Mecca it is the closest mosque outside of the boundaries of the Haram (land area prohibited to non-Muslims).

Ini juga menjadikannya tempat miqat terdekat untuk memasang niat menunaikan umrah.

This also makes it the closest miqat place for setting the intention to do the umrah (a pilgrimage worship set of acts).

Dari sini baru kita menuju kembali ke Masjidil Haram untuk menunaikan umrah.

From here then only we head back to the Masjidil Haram to conduct the umrah.

Rumah tempat Nabi Muhammad SAW dilahirkan (The house where Prophet Muhammad SAW was born at)

Continued from (The object called) Maqam Ibrahim.

Sekitar 300 meter ke timur Masjidil Haram (rujuk Masjidil Haram (The holy mosque of DMecca))  iaitu dari pintu keluar Bukit Marwah terdapat bangunan dua tingkat ini.

About 300 metres to the east of the Masjidil Haram (refer Masjidil Haram (The holy mosque of Mecca) that is from the hill of Marwah exit there lies this two-storey building.

Saya diberitahu oleh ramai pihak bahawa di dalam bangunan inilah Nabi Muhammad SAW dilahirkan lebih 1,400 tahun lalu.

I was told by many parties that it was inside this building that the Prophet Muhammad SAW was born more than 1,400 tahun lalu.

Namun fakta ini dinafikan secara rasminya oleh kerajaan Arab Saudi yang berfahaman Wahabi.

Still this fact is officially denied by the government of Arab Saudi which is of the Wahabi school of thought.

Alasannya mereka tidak mahu tempat ini dianggap suci. Hakikatnya pengikut Wahabi ada kecenderungan untuk menutup sejarah tempat-tempat penting yang pernah dijejaki Nabi Muhammad SAW.

The excuse is they don't want this place to be considered holy. The truth is followers of Wahabi have the tendency to cover up the history of important places which have been stepped on by Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Bangunan ini telah dijadikan perpustakaan tetapi jarang sekali dibuka. Ada yang kata ia memang bangunan asal sejak zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW tetapi diberi wajah yang lebih baru. Ada yang kata bangunan asal sudah lama runtuh namun bangunan baru tetap berdiri di atas tempat baginda dilahirkan.

This building has been turned into a library which is very rarely opened. There are those who said that this is the original building since the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW but was given a new facelift. There are those who said the original building has long crumbled but still the new building stood on the place where he was born at.

Continued from (The) Kaabah.

Lebih kurang 10-15 meter menghadap pintu Ka'abah terdapat satu objek yang dipanggil Maqam Ibrahim.

About 10-15 metres facing the door to the Ka'abah lies an object called the Maqam Ibrahim.

Di dalam bekas kaca ini terdapat sebuah batu hampar yang katanya digunakan Nabi Ibrahim sebagai alas untuk membina bahagian atas Ka'abah pada zamannya.

In this glass container there lies a flat stone said to have been used by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) as standing support for him to building the upper section of the Ka'abah during his time.

Pada batu itu boleh kelihatan tapak kaki yang katanya ditinggalkan Nabi Ibrahim. Tetapi saya tidak dapat mengambil gambar yang jelas akibat biasan cahaya dari kaca.

On the stone could be seen foot prints said to have been left behind by Prophet Ibrahim. But I could not snap a clear picture because of light refraction from the glass.

(The) Kaabah

Sekarang masuklah kita pada objek paling penting untuk orang Islam. Bersambung dari Masjidil Haram (The holy mosque of Mecca).

Now we enter on the most important object for the Muslims. Continuing from Masjidil Haram (The holy mosque of Mecca).

Setelah memasuki pintu utama Masjidil Haram lalu berjalan terus sehingga sampai ke kawasan terbuka di tengah kelihatanlah bangunan hitam yang dipanggil Kaabah.

After taking the main entrance of the Masjidil Haram and then walking straight on to the open area in the middle could be seen the black building called the Kaabah.

Berbentuk kotak segi empat ia menjadi tumpuan umat Islam tak kira di mana jua di dunia ini untuk menghadapkan muka ketika menunaikan solat. Menurut ceritanya ia dibina oleh Nabi Ibrahim dan anaknya Nabi Ismail. Dianggarkan ini berlaku 6,000 tahun lalu.

Shaped like a square box it is the focal point for Muslims regardless of where they are anywhere in the world to face to when conducting their prayers. According to the stories it was built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Prophet Ismail (Ishmael). This is estimated to have happened 6,000 years ago.

Di sini juga dilakukan ibadat tawaf, pusing keliling bangunan arah lawan jam. Mengikut putaran ini saya pun menuju ke sudut yang kelihatan, sudut yang menghadap ke arah selatan

Here one also do the religious act of tawaf, circumambulating around the building in counter-clockwise direction. Following this turn I then headed for the corner seen here, the corner facing south.

Di sini terdapat satu bahagian yang dipanggil Rukun Yamani.

Here lies a section called the Rukun Yamani.

Perjalanan lawan arah jam diteruskan.

The walk anti-clockwise is continued.

Pada sudut seterusnya terdapat batu suci yang katanya diturunkan dari syurga, dipanggil Hajarul Aswad. Namun susah untuk saya mengambil gambar dekat akibat terlalu ramai orang berebut untuk mengucupnya.

At the next corner lies the holy stone said to have been brought down from paradise, called the Hajarul Aswad. Still it was hard for me to take close pictures as there were too many people struggling to kiss it.

Pada muka sebelahnya terdapat pintu masuk Kaabah dan kawasan yang dipanggil Multazam. Pintu ini jarang sekali dibuka, itupun cuma untuk para pemimpin negara dan orang-orang berkedudukan tinggi yang dijemput kerajaan Arab Saudi.

At the face besides lies the door to enter the Kaabah and an area called the Multazam. The door is rarely opened, even then only for state leaders and people of high position invited by the government of Arab Saudi.

Perjalanan diteruskan ke muka lagi satu, muka terakhir kerana kita sudah melewati 3 buah muka.

The walk is continued to another face, the last one as we have already passed 3 faces.

Menghadap muka ini adalah satu kawasan dilingkungi tembok separuh bulatan, kawasan yang dipanggil Hijr Ismail.

Facing this face is an area bounded by a semi-circular wall, an area called the Hijr Ismail.

Inilah muka tersebut. Muka selepasnya adalah yang ditunjukkan pada gambar pertama.

This is the said face. The face after this is the one shown in the first picture.

Lihat ke atas. Terdapat satu batang tembaga tempat air mengalir ke bawah untuk mengelakkan air hujan bertakung pada atap Kaabah, batang yang dipanggil Pancuran Emas.

Look above. There is a piece of copper for water to flow down to avoid rain water from getting stuck on the roof of the Kaabah, a piece called (literarily) the Golden Shower.

Setelah beberapa lama berjalan kaki sampailah ke Masjidil Haram.

After walking for some time we reached the Masjidil Haram (the holy mosque of Mecca).

Ia adalah masjid terbesar di dunia. Ia juga menjadi tumpuan seluruh umat Islam kerana apa yang terdapat di dalam.

It is the biggest mosque in the world. It is also the focal point for all Muslims because of what is available inside.

Masuk melalui pintu utama...

Entering via the main entrance...

Berjalan terus ke hadapan sambil melihat pelbagai sudut.

Walking on ahead while look at various angles.

Kemudian kelihatanlah objek yang menjadi tumpuan utama. Untuk makluman Masjidi; Haram dibina mengelilingi objek ini dan halaman sekitarnya. Objek ini akan ditunjukkan pada artikel selepas ini. Untuk pemandangan sekeliling di halaman yang dikatakan lihat artikel Views from the inner compound of the Masjidil Haram di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH.

Then could be seen the object which is the main attraction. For information the Masjidil Haram was built  encirclint this object and the compound around it. This object would be shown in the article after this. For views around at the said compound look at the article Views from the inner compound of the Masjidil Haram

Masjid (Mosque of) Al-Hijrah, Mekah (Mecca)

Bergerak ke siang Ahad 7 April 2013. 

Moving on to the day on Sunday 7th April 2013.     

Tengah hari saya dan isteri berjalan kaki dari hotel menghala ke Masjidil Haram lalu terlihat sebuah masjid kecil.

At noon me and wife walked from the hotel heading for the Masjidil Haram (the holy mosque in Mecca) and saw a small mosque.

Namanya Masjid Al-Hijrah merujuk pada nama jalan di hadapannya.

Its name is the mosque of Al-Hijrah referring to the name of the road in front of it.

Puncak bukit (Summit of the hill of) Safa

Continued from Makam (Tomb of) Saidina Uthman.

Pada malamnya saya sampai ke Mekah lalu melakukan ibadah umrah. Di sini saya mahu menunjukkan tempat bernama Safa di mana ibadah sa'ei yang merupakan sebahagian rukun umrah dimulakan.

At night I arrived in Mecca and did the umrah (a pilgrimage act of worship). Here I want to show the place called Safa where the act of sa'ei which is a compulsory component of the umrah is started.

Safa sebenarnya merujuk kepada puncak Bukit Safa di mana isteri kepada Nabi Ibrahim, Siti Hajar pernah berdiri untuk mencari air buat anaknya, Nabi Ismail yang kehausan.

Safa actually refers to the summit of the hill of Safa where the wife to Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), Siti Hajar (Hagar) once stood to look for water for his son, the Prophet Ismail (Ishmael) who was thirsty.

Dari sini beliau terlihat puncak sebuah lagi bukit yang bernama Marwah lalu meninjau antara kedua bukit itu. Dari perbuatan inilah timbul ibadah sa'ei yang memerlukan kita berjalan kaki berulang-alik 7 kali antara dua puncak bukit.

From here she saw the summit of another hill called the Marwah and thus surveyed between the two hills. It was from this behaviour that the act of sa'ei surfaced requiring us to walk to and fro 7 times between the summits of the hills.
