In brief, the actual Haj ritual falls on the 8-13th of the Muslim month of Zulhijjah begining with the trip from Mecca to Mina for the wukuf in Arafah. It is obligatory on those Muslims who can afford this journey. The Haj is the 5th and last rukun to a Muslim. I have volunteered myself and a little of my time there as "official" blogger for Tabung Haji and will be covering the Haj as a Jamaah. Many thanks to the many well wishers from friends, comrades, and readers.įor the next 40 over days, there will be no politics, no corporate stories, and no other posting but Haj posting of this, maybe, once in a lifetime spiritual journey. Not to be left out are the immigration, and other Government departments people who helped. Wish to express my heartfelt thanks to the helpful, speedy and responsive Tabung Haji staff and officials. However, it works out as I was able to get my travelling documents sorted out in the nick of time to join my two other family members for tonight's flight. It was a rush rush on my part since the formal confirmation from Tabung Haji came only last Monday. We are heading for a 45 day journey to the holy land of Mecca.Īlhamdulillah, there was no hitches. Surah AHaj 3:97Since my September 8th calling, the Talbiah has grown much louder and it is almost a reality as we - me and my accompanying family member - ready our luggages to fly tonight. Thine alone is All Praise and All Bounty, and Thine alone is The Sovereignty.

Here I am at Thy service and Thou hast no partners. Here I am at Thy service O Lord, here I am. Innal Hamdah, Wan Nematah, Laka wal Mulk, La Shareek Laka Labbaik.
