The Story of My First Spiritual Journey. Umrah. 🕋

لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ

Arab Latin: "Labbaik Allahumma labbaik. Labbaik laa syarika laka labbaik. Innal hamda wan ni'mata laka wal mulk laa syarika lak."

Artinya: "Ya Allah, aku memenuhi panggilan-Mu, Ya Allah aku memenuhi panggilan-Mu, tidak ada sekutu bagi-Mu, sesungguhnya pujian dan kenikmatan hanya milik-Mu, dan kerajaan hanyalah milik-Mu, tiada sekutu bagi-Mu"

Atas segala titik terindah ini, atas undangan istimewa ini, atas segala kemurahan rezeki darimu, dan rasa syukur dan bahagia yang tak terhingga ini. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Terima kasih yaa Allah untuk panggilan terindah dari mu. Aku adalah hambamu yang penuh dengan dosa, yang pernah dan masih sering melakukan hal tidak baik, yang sering sekali mengeluh ketika engkau berikan ujian. Namun maha baik nya engkau, engkau mempersilahkan aku menjadi tamu mu untuk beribadah di tanah suci mu. Engkau memanggil ku dengan penuh kelembutan, engkau berikan kemudahan jalannya, engkau kirimkan orang orang baik untuk meyakinkan hatiku, dan semua nya tersusun dengan sangat rapih dan indah sejak awal tahun 2024 ini. Engkau menyambut ku dengan penuh kehangatan suka cita, memberikan jamuan yang begitu nikmat, Ya Allah.... Terima kasih banyak. Semua yang terjadi selama disana, aku nikmati setiap detailnya dengan penuh rasa syukur karena rasanya engkau begitu sangat dekat. Begitu banyak cerita yang aku sampaikan dan begitu banyak doa yang aku mohonkan. Semoga engkau mengabulkan segala doa doa ku ya Allah. Dan rasanya aku tidak sabar menunggu kembali panggilan terindah mu lagi ya Allah untuk beribadah kembali di tanah suci. Semoga segera panggilan indah dari mu itu datang untuk ku. Aamiin.

Much of my ideas of eroticism has been borrowed from the religious rites. Here's the tongue circling around her nipples like worshippers circumambulating around the sacred spot. Here's the tongue moving back and forth at her sacred line just like worshippers walking and running back and forth through the sacred lands. Here's the mouth eager to drink from her waters just as the worshippers rush to drink from the ever flowing holy waters that springs from the depths of earth. Finally I've thrown away all my reasonings in lusting after her body and that I've imitated from the worshippers as they shave their heads...

Can Tawaf be performed without Umrah?

It is allowed to perform Tawaf without Umrah or Hajj. This is a voluntary act of worship called Nafl Tawaf. Tawaf is the major ritual of Umrah and Hajj that allows a pilgrim to get connected to Allah (SWT). It can also be done if you are not performing Umrah or Hajj. In this article, we’ll be going to explain different types of Tawaf, is Ihram must for tawaf, rules, and guidelines, etc.

The Different Types of Tawaf

Types of Tawaf in Islam are as follows: -

Tawaf al-Ifadah 

Tawaf al-Ifadah is a fundamental ritual of Hajj that must be performed upon returning to Makkah from Mina. This ritual involves circling the Ka’abah, the cubic structure located at the center of Masjid al-Haram, seven times. It is a mandatory act for individuals undertaking the Hajj pilgrimage. Following this, pilgrims continue with the remaining rituals of Hajj.

Tawaf al-Umrah 

Tawaf al-Umrah represents the major ritual of Umrah and is conducted like Tawaf al-Ifadah during Hajj. A pilgrim circumambulates the Ka’abah seven times in a counter-clockwise direction, beginning and finishing at the Black Stone. This act is also obligatory for those performing Umrah.

Tawaf al-Qudum 

Tawaf al-Qudum, known as the Tawaf of Arrival, is performed by Muslims upon entering the Holy City of Makkah. This ritual is to be observed regardless of the purpose of entry, whether for Hajj, Umrah, business, or work. While it is considered non-obligatory, it is associated with significant rewards, and many scholars regard it as a Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).

Tawaf al-Wada

Tawaf al-Wada, the fare well tawaf is performed when after the completion of the Hajj and a person performs it just before leaving the city of Makkah. To perform this Tawaf a person has to revolve around the Ka’abah seven times and pray two rakats (Not mandatory). The farewell Tawaf is only obligatory for Hajj pilgrims not for Umrah.

Tawaf an-Nafl

Tawaf an-Nafl involves circling the Ka’abah seven times. It is not obligatory and can be performed at any time a person wishes. If a person owes a high-ranking Tawaf i.e., Tawaf al-Umrah then he should complete it first rather than start performing this voluntary Tawaf. Most people perform it after the completion of their Umrah to show gratitude towards Allah (SWT).

Is it possible to do Tawaf without wearing Ihram?

It is permissible to perform Tawaf in regular clothes and it is not only restricted for those in Ihram state. For Nafl Tawaf, you can do it without wearing Ihram. It helps strengthen one's connection with Allah (SWT).

What are the rules for Tawaf?

There are specific rules that you should follow to perform Tawaf correctly, adhere to the following rules/steps:

1. Enter Masjid al-Haram: Begin by reciting “Bismillah, was-salatu was-salamu ‘ala rasoolillah, allahumma aftah li abwaba rahmatik.”

2. Achieve a State of Purity: Ensure you are in Wudhu before beginning Tawaf.

3. Niyyah (Intention): Make the intention in your mind to perform Tawaf, aiming for spiritual purification and a connection with Allah (SWT).

4. Black Stone (Hajr al-Aswad): Position yourself facing the Ka'abah and attempt to touch or point towards the Black Stone, while saying Bismillah and Allahu Akbar.

5. Circumambulation: Pilgrims must circle the Ka’abah seven times in an anti-clockwise direction, starting each circuit at the Black Stone.

6. Recitation of Prayers: During Tawaf, pilgrims are encouraged to recite any prayers, including those that praise Allah.

7. Finalizing the Circles: Upon completing the Tawaf, pilgrims should aim to stop at the Black Stone.

What types of Tawaf don't require Umrah?

Various types of Tawaf can be performed independently of Umrah. The primary type is Nafl Tawaf, which is a voluntary act of devotion that can be undertaken at any time. Muslims may circumambulate the Kaaba, expressing their affection for Allah through this form of worship. As there are no prerequisites, such as wearing Ihram, Nafl Tawaf is accessible to all visitors in Makkah.

Another type is Tawaf al-Nazar, which is conducted to fulfill a promise. If an individual makes such a commitment, they are required to perform Tawaf as a demonstration of their dedication and gratitude to Allah. This form also does not require the wearing of Ihram.

Even when engaging in Tawaf outside the designated Hajj and Umrah rituals, individuals can still pray and strengthen their connection with Allah Almighty.

What if you do Tawaf without wudu?

The validity of your Tawaf is subject to various scholarly clarifications if it is conducted without performing wudu (ablution). Most scholars agree that Tawaf cannot be considered valid unless it is executed in a state of purity. Thus, if Tawaf is performed without wudu, it must be repeated. This means that any circuits completed while in a state of impurity are considered invalid, demanding a restart after performing wudu.

However, certain scholars, including Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, argue that Tawaf can be valid even if wudu is not performed. This viewpoint suggests that if wudu is missed during Tawaf, there is no requirement to pause and perform it again. Nevertheless, it is still recommended to maintain cleanliness whenever possible.

Additionally, some scholars assert that if the majority of your Tawaf was conducted without wudu, a sacrifice may be required as a form of compensation. This typically applies if most of the circuits were completed while in an impure state.

Conclusion

Few types of Tawaf can be performed without Umrah or Hajj. Tawaf al-Nafi and a committed tawaf can be done at any time without the need to wear Ihram garments. But you still have to follow some rules such as making the intention of Tawaf, must be in a pure state, etc. It is recommended to only perform Tawaf in a Wudu state as it is a kind of prayer and a prayer cannot be performed without Wudu.

Nostalgia Part 1

"Ayah dan Bundaku tidaklah sempurna tapi, demi allah mereka adalah sesuatu yang paling berharga dalam hidupku, yang pernah Allah beri"

Ini adalah tentang kecelakaan tiang crane yang terjadi di Mekkah. Ibadah Haji pada Periode September 2015 menjadi peristiwa yang nyaris aku kehilangan kedua orangtua ku di Mekkah. Saat aku masih seorang santri, aku ditinggali oleh kedua orangtua ku pergi Haji. Ayahku bercerita, Jumat itu beliau bersama rombongan haji lainnya melakukan shalat Ashar di hotel, mereka berencana melaksanakan shalat Magrib nanti di Masjidil Haram. Waktu Magrib sudah dekat, bersiap-siaplah rombongan haji tersebut untuk pergi ke Masjidil Haram. Sesampainya diperjalanan, Ayahku mengajak rombongan haji nya untuk kembali ke Hotel. Beliau merasakan firasat yang tidak enak dirasakan.

Di perjalanan kembali ke hotel, datanglah badai pasir beserta angin dan hujan menghampiri mereka. Allah masih memberikan kesempatan untuk mereka, akhirnya mereka sampai di Hotel. Namun, ada musibah yang terjadi di Masjidil Haram. Runtuh nya tiang crane sehingga mengenai area Tawaf dan Masjidil Haram. Saat itu, ratusan jamaah haji meninggal, ada beberapa juga yang luka-luka, sedihnya lagi ada juga yang anggota badannya putus. Crane tersebut bertujuan untuk menambah perluasan Masjidil Haram.

Aku saat itu mendapatkan berita dari Ustadz Pondok ku bahwa kedua orangtua ku selamat. Ayahku menceritakannya, dengan pandangan seakan-akan beliau sangat merindukan Masjidil Haram itu.

What is Umrah?

Umrah is a lesser pilgrimage in Islam but holds great significance for Muslims worldwide. Umrah is an essential act of worship that allows Muslims to purify their souls and seek forgiveness. It is an excellent way for a Muslim to get closer to Allah. Unlike Hajj, which is performed in a specific month of Dhul-Hijjah, Umrah can be performed at any time throughout the year.

The ritual of this Holy journey consists of four essential pillars, which include:

⦁          Ihram

⦁          Tawaf

⦁          Sa'i

⦁          Halq or Taqsir

Ihram

Physical Purity:

Before you wear Ihram, you have to get physically clean. You have to clip your nails and cut your private area's hair (armpits) and beneath the navel area. Then, you have to perform a very important Sunnah, which is ghusl for those entering the state of Ihram. Then, men may apply some attar/perfume on their heads/beards, making sure that nothing gets on the Ihram. Keep in mind that the perfume you are using doesn't contain alcohol.

Wearing Ihram Garments:

Ihram consists of two ordinary unstitched white and clean cloths. For men, one that wraps around your waist and covers your lower body is known as Izar, and the other sheet folds up on your upper body like a shawl and covers your left shoulder. This sheet/cloth is also known as Rida. Your right shoulder should be exposed while performing Tawaf. For women, they should wear simple and moderate clothes.

Making Niyyah (Intention)

Make niyyah for performing Tawaf only for Allah. You can also ask for forgiveness and ease in your Tawaf.

You make Niyyah (intention) in Arabic, which translation is here:  

O Allah, I intend to perform Tawaf of your Sacred House, so make it easy and accept it from me.

Tawaf

Ensure you are in a state of wudhu before going for Tawaf; men should uncover their right shoulder.

Then, it would be best if you lined yourself up with the Kaaba, where the Hajar al-Aswad is located. You have to complete seven circles around the Kaaba in an anti-clockwise direction. Ensure to stroll like other people to complete a peaceful and respected Tawaf. Your Tawaf must be completed without any interruptions.

Offering Salah after Tawaf:

After completing Tawaf, the pilgrim should pray two rak'ahs at Maqam Ibrahim if possible because it's congested, so you don't have to worry about that. You pray it anywhere in Masjid al-Haram.

Drinking Zamzam water:

After praying salah and making dua, drink Zamzam water, which you can fill from dispensers in the Tawaf area. It's mustahabb to drink Zamzam water while standing and facing towards the Kaaba, saying Bismillah, and drinking water in three breaths. You can also put it on your face and your body.

You may recite Dua after drinking Zamzam water, which translation is here:

O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, abundant provision, accepted deeds, and a cure for every illness.

Sa'i:

After completing Tawaf, Muslims should perform Sa'i, where pilgrims run/walk seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah inside Masjid-al-Haram. You can rest after completing Tawaf if you feel tired or your feet hurt. Remember that you will cover almost 3km during Sa'i, so make sure you have enough energy to complete the ritual without interruption. Muslims start from the hill of Safa and make niyyah (intention), which is used for the ritual of Sa'i. Then, pilgrims start walking towards the hill of Marwah. There are markings of green lights where it is the sunnah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) for men to jog/run, while women can walk normally. After repeating these steps seven times in a circle, your Sa'i ritual is completed.

Halq or Taqsir:

After completing your Tawaf and Sa'i rituals, you must complete the last and most crucial step of this journey:

Halq:

Halq means to completely shave your head. This practice is performed by only men. This traditional practice symbolizes the start of a new journey without any sins by following Islamic principles.

Taqsir:

In Taqsir, women cut a small portion of their hair or the end of their braids. Men who don't want to completely shave their heads also perform Taqsir, where they trim their hair instead of shaving it.

Like Halq, Taqsir symbolizes the start of a new journey without any sins and by following Islamic principles.

Halq or Taqsir can be done by yourself, or you can get help from professional barbers, who are near Masjid e Haram.
