REVIEW: Jurassic World Escape Room Experience at Universal Orlando Resort | by Muzzammil Shaik

The Jurassic World Escape Room in Universal's Great Movie-Escape is one of two new escape room experiences to the Universal Orlando Resort that opened in December 2022. Located in CityWalk, it is a multi-sensory puzzle-based quest that gives guests the role as geneticists at the Jurassic World theme park, timed around the events of the 2015 film. This review will consist of a non-spoiler portion where I give my general overview on the experience and recommendations for the escape room as well as a spoiler-review that consists of the overview around each puzzle and story elements that tie into the larger Jurassic lore at hand.

Non-Spoiler Review

Making the Reservation/Check-In

Signing up for the escape room was relatively straight-forward as you navigate to the elaborate Universal Great Movie Escape entrance located right next to the Antojito's restaurant in CityWalk. As soon as you enter, there is a check-in right at the end of the hall where you can make your reservations to either the Jurassic World or Back to the Future Escape Room. The Back to the Future escape room is on the first floor, whereas the Jurassic World escape room is just upstairs.

Prices can range anywhere from an average of $40 to $60 per person for a single escape room experience and Annual Passholders can get a discount when you purchase in person (at the time of writing this article). What was recommended as least expensive to us was the matinee which is any time before 6 PM on weekdays. Also, to note, if you are planning to attend both escape room experiences, they last about an hour each, so it is at your discretion if you want to do them back-to-back or spread it out. After you decide,  each member of your party will be handed a ticket that details the experience and time on the back.  

On the day of the experience, my family and I went to the check-in desk and they recommend you be there within 15 minutes of the escape room which would be safe to assume that it is to ensure they run on schedule. At check-in,  we are guided to a space with TV monitors showing the safety video. After that is completed, we go upstairs to another attendant at the entrance of the Jurassic World Escape. They will scan your tickets and confirm your names on the reservation and let you know about standard safety and security measures as with many theme park attractions.

The Experience

The Escape Room experience involves a series of rooms with various puzzles themed to technical aspects you may find throughout the Jurassic World theme park. Some involve matching, sequencing, and using context clues from previous stages. You also get a score at the end of the escape based on four tiers where you can get a score of up to 20 as lead geneticist. Ultimately, the objects that are key to solving the puzzles are spaced out in the room well enough that you will need at least 3 people in your party to somewhat beat the clock (although if you have less than 6 people, there may be additional guests in your experience time). 

The difficulty of each puzzle, in my opinion, gets progressively challenging not so much that they are hard to solve, but the context clues around the room can leave you scrambling for what seems like a good amount of time gone by. But often times, a lead geneticist from Dr. Wu's lab will give you some hints along the way. Also, not to worry, you will not be trapped on Isla Nublar. Because the rooms are timed, there will be a sort of override where the lead geneticist announces that you can essentially proceed to the next room.

Some additional highlights to this experience were that the attention to detail with the aesthetic of the Jurassic World film was top notch. It shows promise that if a full Jurassic World land were to ever be built, this is a step in the right direction, similar to the details in the VelociCoaster attraction in Universal's Islands of Adventure. Tying into the multi-sensory aspect, the sights, sounds, and even smells are authentic to what you would experience in each room, whether that be a lab or in the jungles of Isla Nublar.

Although there were some increasingly challenging puzzles towards the end, we made it out and survived off the island. After we left the experience, another attendant is present at the exit to tell us our score and we got a 15, which is pretty average and apparently, the highest any party has gotten is 18 out of 20!

The attendant also gets feedback because it's clear that this a brand new experience to Universal Orlando Resort and anybody who regularly receives surveys from them know that they are constantly working on ways to improve their experiences for guests. After that, the attendant offers to take a picture and the journey is over.

Overall, a must-do experience for Jurassic and Escape Room enthusiasts of all ages and it takes a team and effective communication to escape Jurassic World!

Onto the spoilers next…

SPOILER Review

If you're still here, congrats on surviving the Non-Spoiler Review! In this portion, I break down each puzzle based on the story elements, so I will leave at least some surprises to be desired when you finish reading this.

NOW ON WITH THE TOUR!

Introductory Room:

After your party is checked in at the entrance of the Jurassic World Escape, you enter an enclosed corridor that smells very similar to a dinosaur paddock. Don't ask me how I know that, it just does.

Moving on, we are introduced to a geneticist, named Riley Matthews, and AIS, an Artificial Intelligence System (pronounced ACE) and we are recruited to the Hammond Creation Lab's Secret Offsite Research and Development Center. They will be our guide through the screens and overheard speakers throughout each room and will be reporting to Dr. Henry Wu about our progress.

Riley briefly mentions that many of the assets are reaching 100% genetic accuracy and that they are moving into genetically modified hybrids, which we know where that ends up. And so, we are directed to the first puzzle room, which is the genetics lab.

Puzzle 1 - Genetics Lab

This room tests your general biology skills as you match the sequences in the genetic code that make up the Indominus Rex, the new attraction to Jurassic World. Your team is guided to a workstation and will be using a group of sliders to reveal small sequences on two monitors. On one side it is the Indominus, the other is a species that makes up the hybrid.

What really stood out to me is that despite it being known for a while that Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Therizinosaurus were among the species that made up the Indominus, they were not in the 2015 film. So, Jurassic fans will be reassured that the experience acknowledges some aspects of Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022). 

After matching a bunch of sequences, one of the members in your party will need to scan their hand on the touch pad leading to the next puzzle room, Nutrient Distribution.

Puzzle 2 - Nutrient Distribution

Moving into this next room, we are shown a small enclosure similar to what we have seen in Jurassic World and even the first Jurassic Park in the prologue sequence. In here, we are introduced to a Velociraptor from the IBRIS Project, named Bravo. 

We are tasked to provide the necessary nutrient mixtures that will be key to keep Bravo satiated. When you look around the room, you will find canisters detailing how to make each mixture and that will be loaded into the panel facing Bravo. Once all mixtures are created there is an additional catch- you have to provide Bravo with the mixtures in the right order. And there are multiple levels of mixtures you will create as you race against the clock to satisfy this restless raptor. 

What really adds to the tension of the puzzle is that you see the cage rattling and the roaring gets progressively louder as we scour around the room looking for each of these canisters. Once the room is completed, it seems like all has ended well. But then, the power starts fluctuating and then you hear a familiar ominous theme from Michael Giacchino's score. The Indominus Rex has escaped and Riley is informed by Dr. Wu that we need to go to the Cold Storage Area for our next puzzle.

Puzzle 3 - Cold Storage Area

This puzzle room is very similar to what we have seen in the Jurassic World film and what we've seen with Dennis Nedry's attempted hijinks in Jurassic Park.

We are presented with a frosted-over storage compartment of dinosaur and prehistoric reptilian embryos. However, the challenge is that we can't see them until we recharge all the canisters facing a panel with a keypad. To add to the stakes, the Indominus rex crashed into an essential power grid that threatens the viability of these embryos. Thus, Riley and Dr. Wu have assigned us to recharge all the canisters and enter the embryo code corresponding with the animals they wish to save for future sequencing.

The first one they ask for, which blew my mind is Quetzalcoatlus! This means, Henry Wu has been keeping some BIG secrets since before the events of the Isla Nublar Incident. Other animals we were assigned and also saw in the storage of embryo vials, included Dilophosaurus, Spinosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Dimetrodon, Suchomimus, Ankylosaurus, and basically every prehistoric creature we have ever seen in the films. If this doesn't scream, I want a prequel show/film with B.D. Wong, I don't know what else…

After completing this challenge, Riley and AIS let us know that the embryos have been saved. But, they warn us about more power failures, which gives Bravo, from the previous room, free rein to leave her enclosure.

That's when they speak too soon and the power temporarily goes out. You hear the snarling of a velociraptor from the Nutrient Distribution Room. Bravo's silhouette is shown at the door and she tries to open it, but is unsuccessful. Then, being the cunning velociraptor she is, Bravo escapes in the vents above us as we hear the sounds moving around and away…

AIS is still down, but Riley leads us into the power station that the Indominus bumped into.

Puzzle 4 - Power Station

This room has a bit of an outdoorsy atmosphere, with vibes similar to control rooms seen in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom with Claire and Franklin. In this puzzle, Riley informs us that because the power is down, we will need to manually bring it back up.

This one requires all hands on deck, as one person needs to manually power the overhead lights or we are completely in the dark, another looking at the manual of where certain number switches are, and one more person changing the configuration of those switches based on a blueprint just above. 

I thought this was a fun challenge as we each had to communicate with each other on following the blueprint in the time allotted. Once it was over, the power was restored just enough for us to escape into the Research and Development Lab's Control Room.

Puzzle 5 - Control Room

This is more of an abbreviated version of the control room we are familiar with in the 2015 film, but it contains all the key elements with multiple control panels for all users to manipulate as well as huge monitors on the walls showing various statistics around the island.

Essentially, AIS is rebooting and there are many areas of the park where the security systems are still offline. Our task is to use the control panels to find statistics to answer questions provided on these panels. This means that you will see multiple occurrences of a location that Riley wants you to solve. 

This puzzle was a bit difficult because we could have benefited from additional members in our party and there are six consoles. So, this was one was definitely overridden for us. In terms of the story elements, the puzzle room ends with AIS booting back up and bringing the rest of the security systems online and Riley getting us ready to go to the Monorail Service Station.

But…

A security feed shows the Indominus has broken into the aviary and the pterosaurs have escaped. We hear screeches in the ceiling as the light bulbs break one by one until it seems they have flown away. Riley then lets us know the coast is clear and we are on our way to the Service Station.

Puzzle 6 - Monorail Service Station

I loved the atmosphere in this puzzle because the sights and smells made you feel you were on the ground in Isla Nublar and the Indominus is not far away. The foliage is rustling and you hear quite a bit of roaring and stomping.

Riley then informs you that the door to the monorail station was damaged and we need to follow the pipes to find the correct configurations of switches that will open the door. The stakes are continually added with the Indominus on the hunt, but this puzzle in my opinion is fun callback to Ellie Sattler following the pipes in Jurassic Park.

After opening the door, Riley tells us to proceed to the next puzzle in the Monorail Station Walkway.

Puzzle 7 - Monorail Station Walkway

This puzzle left us all confused, to be honest, because all the clues that Riley gave were to use the map of Isla Nublar on the Walkway wall to enter the numbers on a pin pad of the closest stations to us for the monorail to come get us. The Indominus also continued to get louder, which made it very clear of our impending doom.

Fortunately, AIS finally overrides the puzzle after we pass the time allotted and we are then directed to the loading platform, which looks like a maintenance shed.

Finale - Loading Platform/Monorail

AIS tells us to wait for the Service Monorail and the Indominus is still on our tails. The stomping becomes progressively louder and then the window in front of us blasts open to show the eye of the Indominus staring us down. Promptly after, the door to the monorail opens and we board for our journey off the island. 

On the monorail, we see a monitor with Riley speaking to us from somewhere outdoors. She tells us that the authorities deem Jurassic World to be long gone, but thanks to us we saved a lot of people and research for Dr. Wu.  She lets us know that he is building a team to continue his research, which implies his work in the future films.

Thus, the doors off the monorail open and we meet the attendant to debrief and take pics with the Indominus banner.

Concluding Thoughts

Overall, the Jurassic World Escape Room is a welcome addition to the Universal Orlando Resort and these adventures are really unique because they are story-driven as with many of the attractions in their theme parks. As a fan of the Jurassic Franchise, it was fun to be more involved in the high-stakes nature of the 2015 film. Many other experiences by Universal like the Jurassic World Exhibition and Jurassic World Live Tour give a nice stand-by experience, but this gave me and my family the closest experience to living the events of the movie. 

Some areas that I think could be improved are relatively minor as I am sure Universal wants to cycle in other stories in the long run. For instance, I would like to have seen a brief video or audio of Dr. Wu as it has been known for Back to the Future that they had Christopher Lloyd return. I will not spoil that attraction, but the involvement could be done in the same way for BD Wong. Additionally, I thought some areas could use small animatronics such as the pterosaurs in the ceiling or even see the claws of the Indominus at the Service Station. 

In terms of the larger Jurassic lore at hand, I thought this experience paid homage to the future and the history of the franchise in showing that embryos for animals we see in Fallen Kingdom and Dominion are saved. This also means that Dr. Wu has a deeper story to tell and makes me wish that Universal explores the prequel route even if it is on streaming services. 

For value, I do recommend the weekdays due to the price ranges fluctuating. It is also best to note that those change based on peak days at the resort. But, I believe the attention to detail is on par with the latest attractions they have in the theme parks. The repeatability is also strong for those who want to acquire a top score of 20 as lead geneticist. 

Finally, the Jurassic World Escape Room Experience, in my opinion, is a strong entry in the supplementary material to the franchise that is fun for the whole family and friends.

JANJI ALLAAH MELALUI SALAT TAHAJUD BAGI HAMBA-NYA

Jangan malas untuk mengerjakan salat tahajud, karena janji Allaah itu benar. Allaah akan mengangkat kedudukan kita ke maqam dan derajat terpuji tatkala kita bergegas melaksanakan salah satu ibadah utama, yakni salat tahajud. Allaah Ta’ala berfirman,

وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَكَ عَسَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا

“Dan pada sebagian malam hari bertahajudlah kamu sebagai suatu ibadah tambahan bagimu. Mudah-mudahan Tuhanmu mengangkat kamu ke tempat yang terpuji.” (QS. Al Isra’: 79)

Wahai jiwa-jiwa perindu ampunan Allaah Azza Wajalla, Zat Sang Maha Pengampun

Ketahuilah bahwa pada tiap malam, Tuhan kita Tabaraka wa Ta’ala turun (ke langit dunia) ketika tinggal sepertiga malam yang terakhir. Allaah ‘Azza Wajalla berfirman, “Barangsiapa yang menyeru-Ku, akan Aku perkenankan seruannya. Barangsiapa yang meminta kepada-Ku, Aku perkenankan permintaannya. Dan barangsiapa meminta ampunan kepada-Ku, aku ampuni dia.” (HR. Bukhari dan Muslim)

Wahai jiwa-jiwa yang tidur, bangunlah..

Jangan sia-siakan malammu hanya dengan tidur. Bangunlah sesaat dan mulai melawan diri untuk bangun dari kenyamanan tempat tidur. Bangunlah sesaat dan kerjakan sedikitnya 2 rakaat salat malam. Karena ada banyak manfaat dan keberkahan yang terkandung di dalam proses dan nilainya. Allaah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala berfirman,

اِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ الَّيْلِ هِيَ اَشَدُّ وَطْـًٔا وَّاَقْوَمُ قِيْلًاۗ

“Sesungguhnya bangun di waktu malam adalah lebih tepat (untuk khusyuk) dan bacaan di waktu itu lebih berkesan.” (QS. Al-Muzzammil: 6)

Wahai jiwa-jiwa yang malas, bangkitlah..

Tetaplah bangun, walaupun susah payah untuk menjalankannya. Bangun dengan susah payah dan meniatkan untuk melaksanakan salat tahajud menjadi satu kemuliaan yang amat besar. Karena ini mampu menghidupkan hati yang mati, membangkitkan semangat diri dalam mengawali aktivitas pagi, mendekatkan diri pada Ilahi, menghapus dosa yang telah terjadi, serta menjadi wasilah mustajabnya doa-doa. “Doa yang dipanjatkan di waktu tahajud adalah ibarat anak panah yang tepat mengenai sasaran.” (Imam Asy-Syafi’i)

Wahai jiwa-jiwa yang gelisah, bersegeralah..

Setiap kali di awal hari, Allaah menanti dan menunggumu, percayalah. Setumpuk kesedihan hidup, setumpuk pedihmu, segudang keinginan dan harapan, dan segala keluh kesah akan terjawab di heningnya malam dengan suara alam penuh syahdu, waktu sepertiga malam. Hampiri malam-malammu dengan keheningan dalam hati, dengan iman dalam diri, iman yang tulus dari lubuk hati mengharap ridha pada sang pencipta. Lakukanlah salat, seolah-olah ini adalah malam terakhir kali bagi diri. Apalagi salat tahajud, yakni salat sunnah tebaik setelah salat fardhu. Dari Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu ‘anhu, ia berkata bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,

أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ : شَهْرُ اللهِ المُحَرَّمُ ، وَأفْضَلُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الفَرِيضَةِ : صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ

“Puasa yang paling utama setelah Ramadan adalah bulan Allaah Muharram. Dan salat yang paling utama setelah salat wajib adalah salat malam.”  (HR. Muslim, no. 1163)

Salat malam merupakan sarana dan wasilah bagi hamba dalam mengatasi masalah diri dan hati, terutama menghapus dosa yang sudah teramat banyak dalam diri. Bukan hanya cukup sampai di sini, ketenangan dalam salat malam yang syahdu juga menjadi wasilah dalam menenangkan hati, membersihkan jiwa yang gundah gulana, dan taqarrub yang paling efektif.

Salat malam juga menjadi pengobatan diri paling mujarab. Obat bagi segala macam penyakit hati, berbagai macam kegundahan diri, kegelisahan, kesedihan, kemarahan, keterasingan, keputusasaan, dan masalah berat kerohanian lainya. Ia adalah ruang wasilah bahkan tiket untuk meraih jalan keberkahan yang menghantarkan kebahagiaan akhirat dan kebahagiaan dunia; serta yang paling utama adalah tiket dalam memudahkan kita meraih surga-Nya dan keridaan serta kemuliaan di sisi-Nya. Selain mendapatkan kedudukan dan derajat yang mulia di akhirat kelak, orang-orang yang berkenan dengan ikhlas menjalankan salat tahajud, maka akan Allaah limpahkan keridaan dan keberkahan kedudukan yang mulia di atas bumi.

وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ شَرَفَ الْـمُؤْمِنِ قِيَامُهُ بِاللَّيْلِ

“Dan ketahuilah, bahwa kemuliaan dan kewibawaan seorang mukmin itu ada pada salat malamnya.” (HR. Hakim, hasan)

Sahabatku yang dirahmati Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla..

Bila kita memahami dan mengetahui keutamaaan dari melaksanakan dan menjalankan salat sunah lail atau tahajud, pasti dengan kesadaran dan mengandalkan logika sederhana, kita tidak akan rela jika harus meninggalkan salat malam. Tidak ada satu pun jamuan dan hidangan terindah yang diadakan, kecuali di sepertiga malam terakhir. Sebagai umpama, bilamana kita dijamu dan disambut oleh pejabat, penguasa negeri, atau bahkan orang penting dan nomor satu di negeri kita, sudah pasti kita senang dan bahagia. Nah, ini apalagi yang langsung menjamu adalah bukan hanya penguasa negeri melainkan Penguasa langit dan bumi langsung yang menjamu. MasyaAllaah.

Maka, sudah sepatutnya diri ini mengkhususkan untuk menyediakan sebagian dari malam kita untuk Sang Pemilik hidup kita. Karena salat malam adalah lapangan, bandara bagi setiap insan yang memiliki mimpi-mimpi dan cita-cita yang tinggi. Dan di waktu sepertiga malam adalah waktu istimewa dan terbaik, dambaan bagi ahli ibadah dalam mencari bekal yang terbaik guna mengarungi setiap hambatan dan ujian lautan hidup. Nabi shallallahu ’alaihi wassallam berpesan bahwasanya salat malam merupakan salat para nabi dan rasul, juga menjadi bagian terindah bagi kebiasaan setiap orang yang saleh. Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,

ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻜُﻢْ ﺑِﻘِﻴَﺎﻡِ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻴْﻞِ، ﻓَﺈِﻧَّﻪُ ﺩَﺃْﺏُ ﺍﻟﺼَّﺎﻟِﺤِﻴْﻦَ ﻗَﺒْﻠَﻜُﻢْ، ﻭَﻫُﻮَ ﻗُﺮْﺑَﺔٌ ﺇِﻟَﻰ ﺭَﺑِّﻜُﻢْ، ﻭَﻣُﻜَﻔِّﺮَﺓٌ ﻟِﻠﺴَّﻴِّﺌَﺎﺕِ، ﻣَﻨْﻬَﺎﺓٌ ﻋَﻦِ ﺍْﻹِﺛْﻢِ

“Lakukanlah salat malam oleh kalian, karena hal itu merupakan kebiasaan orang-orang saleh sebelum kalian. Ia pun dapat mendekatkan kalian kepada Rabb kalian, menghapus segala kesalahan, dan mencegah dari perbuatan dosa.” (HR. Tirmidzi, hadis hasan)

Banyak orang yang membicarakan tentang Allaah, tetapi sedikit sekali yang mau berbicara kepada Allaah. Bawa serta tahajud dan doamu ke dalam hidupmu dan berbicaralah kepada-Nya. Rasulullah shallallahu ’alaihi wasallam bersabda,

ﺇِﻥَّ ﻓِﻲ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻴْﻞِ ﻟَﺴَﺎﻋَـﺔً، ﻻَ ﻳُﻮَﺍﻓِﻘُﻬَﺎ ﺭَﺟُـﻞٌ ﻣُﺴْﻠِﻢٌ ﻳَﺴْﺄَﻝُ ﺍﻟﻠﻪَ ﺧَﻴْﺮًﺍ ﻣِﻦْ ﺃَﻣْﺮِ ﺍﻟﺪُّﻧْﻴَﺎ ﻭَﺍْﻵﺧِﺮَﺓِ ﺇِﻻَّ ﺃَﻋْﻄَﺎﻩُ ﺇِﻳَّﺎﻩُ، ﻭَﺫَﻟِﻚَ ﻛُﻞَّ ﻟَﻴْﻠَﺔٍ .

“Sesungguhnya di malam hari terdapat waktu tertentu, yang bila seorang muslim memohon kepada Allaah dari kebaikan dunia dan akhirat pada waktu itu, maka Allaah pasti akan memberikan kepadanya, dan hal tersebut ada di setiap malam.” (HR. Muslim)

Semoga Allaah ‘Azza Wajalla menjaga hidayah dan keistikamahan kita, mengaruniakan keberkahan dan keikhlasan dalam setiap amal yang kita perbuat. Dan jangan lupa untuk senantiasa berdoa dan meminta perlindungan pada Allaah agar kita terhindar dari fitnah dan syubhat akhir zaman yang marak hadir di sekitar lingkungan kita, terutama maksiat yang diumbar dan dosa-dosa yang ditampakkan. Semoga Allaah senantiasa menjaga agar kita semakin bertakwa dan mengimani setiap syariat dan sunnah Nabi serta menjadi manusia yang bertanggung jawab atas apa yang kita perbuat dan dimudahkan serta dimampukan dalam menjaga niat diri, ikhlas dalam diri.

The Life of The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh): The Battle of Badr and Afterwards

Some other important events of the 2nd Year of Hijrah

Fasting in Ramadan is Rendered Fard

Fasting in Ramadan was rendered fard one month after the qiblah was changed to the Kaaba and in the beginning of the 18th month after Hijrah, in the month of Saban. The following were stated in the verses regarding fasting:

“O ye who believe! fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that ye may (learn) self-restraint…

Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an as a guide to mankind also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong).

So everyone of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spent it in fasting, but if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later.

Allah intends every facility for you He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful!” 

Fasting in Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam.

Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah stated the following:

“Islam is based on five things: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, establishing the prayer (salah); paying the zakah (wealth-tax), performing the Hajj and fast in Ramadan.” 

Sadaqa al-Fitr is Rendered Wajib

Toward the end of the month of Ramadan of the same year, sadaqa al-fitr was rendered wajib.

The Messenger of Allah ordered that every rich Muslim, whether young or old, free or slave, male or female, give one sa’ (1040 dirhams) of dry dates or one sa’ of barley or raisin, or one mud (half a sa’) of wheat to the poor before the prayer of eid.

The First Eid Prayer is Performed

When the crescent of Shawwal was seen and when the sun rose in the morning, the Messenger of Allah ordered Muslims to break their fasts and to go to the open praying area for the eid prayer. Then he went to the open praying area and led the eid prayer there before the khutbah (sermon) and without adhan or iqamah.

When the Messenger of Allah honored Madinah, the people of Madinah had two festival days. The Prophet said to them, “Allah gave you two better festival days: eid al-fitr (Ramadan Festival) and eid al-adha (Sacrifice Festival).” 

The Messenger of Allah always performed eid prayers in the open praying area. The open praying area of Madinah was at the east gate of the city of Madinah.

The Prophet always walked to the open praying area. He went to the open praying area from one way and returned from another way. He always ate something before he set off for the prayer of eid al-fitr. He generally ate a few dates.

Zakah is Rendered Fard

Zakah was rendered fard in the 2nd year of Hijrah after the fasting of Ramadan was rendered fard and sadaqa al-fitr was rendered wajib.

Zakah is a financial kind of worshipping for rich Muslims that involves giving a certain amount of their goods, property or money to the poor every year.

Zakah is one of the five pillars of Islam. It was ordered in the Quran: (an-Nur, 56; al-Muzzammil, 20; al-Hajj, 78; al-Baqara, 110). It is mentioned in 32 places in the Quran together with prayer (salah)

The Prophet stated the following in a hadith:

“Every day in the morning, two angels come down and one of them says, ‘O my Lord! Give to those who give zakah and sadaqa and spend their property for the sake of Allah the amount that they spend’. The other one says,  ‘O my Lord! Destroy the property of those who do not give zakah or sadaqa!” 

Death of Hazrat Ruqayya

Hazrat Ruqayya, the daughter of the Prophet who was married to Hazrat Uthman, became ill during the Expedition of Badr.  Hazrat Uthman stayed in Madinah to look after her upon the order of the Prophet. He could not go to Badr. When Zayd b. Haritha brought the news of the Victory of Badr to Madinah, Hazrat Ruqayya had died.

Umm Ayman washed her dead body. Hazrat Uthman led her janazah prayer and buried her in the cemetery of al-Baqi.

Hazrat Ruqayya was born after Hazrat Zaynab when the Messenger of Allah was 33 years old. She became a Muslim together with Hazrat Khadija, her mother. Then, she married Hazrat Uthman. Hazrat Uthman migrated to Abyssinia with her. When the Messenger of Allah saw that they were migrating together, he said, “After Lot (pbuh), Uthman is the first person to migrate in the way of Allah with his family.” 

Abu Darda Becomes a Muslim

Abu Darda Uwaymir b. Sa’laba became a Muslim during the Expedition of Badr.

Abdullah b. Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him) was an intimate friend of Abu Darda. One day, Abdullah took an adze and broke the idol in Abu Darda’s house. When Abu Darda returned home, his wife told him about it. Abu Darda started to think and said to himself, “If this idol had been useful, it would have protected itself!” Then, he went to the Prophet to become a Muslim.

When Abdullah b. Rawaha saw him coming from a distance, he said, “O Messenger of Allah! Abu Darda is coming. He is probably coming here to see us!”

The Messenger of Allah said, “He is coming here to become a Muslim. My Lord had informed me beforehand that Abu Darda would be a Muslim!”

When Abu Darda went to the presence of the Prophet, he became a Muslim. His family had embraced Islam before him. 

Hazrat Fatima Marries Hazrat Ali

Hazrat Fatima married Hazrat Ali five months after the Messenger of Allah honored Madinah in the month of Rajab. Their wedding was in the month of Dhul-Hijjah in the 2nd year of Hijrah after the Battle of Badr.

Hazrat Fatima was the youngest and his most beloved daughter. Whenever the Prophet returned from a battle or expedition, he went to the mosque first to perform a prayer of two rak’ahs and then he went to Hazrat Fatima; after that, he went to his wives. 

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates:

“I have never seen anyone whose words and speech resemble those of the Messenger of Allah. When Fatima came, the Messenger of Allah would welcome her with compassion and greet her by saying, “Welcome!” I have never seen anyone more straightforward than Fatima.” 

The walking style of Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) resembled that of the Prophet a lot.

Once, Hazrat Aisha was asked, “Who was the most beloved person for the Prophet?”

Hazrat Aisha answered, “Fatima”

When she was asked, “Who was the most beloved man for the Prophet?”, she answered, “Fatima’s husband. 

The Prophet Sends Someone to Makkah to Bring his Daughter Hazrat Zaynab

Among the captives of Badr was Abu As b. Rabi, the husband of Hazrat Zaynab and the son-in-law of the Prophet. As we mentioned under the topic of the captives of the Battle of Badr, Abu As went to Makkah when he was released. Abu As had prevented Hazrat Zaynab from migrating before; however, this time he let her go.  

The Messenger of Allah sent Zayd b. Haritha and somebody from Ansar to Makkah a month or less than a month after the Battle of Badr and they brought Hazrat Zaynab. 

Death of Uthman b. Maz’un, from Muhajir Muslims

He is the first muhajir Muslim buried in the cemetery of al-Baqi.

The first Eid al-Adha Prayer is Performed

The Messenger of Allah reached Madinah on the ninth of the month Dhul-Hijjah from the Expedition of Sawiq. The next day, that is, the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, he went to the open praying area with Muslims. He led the two-rak’ah eid al-adha prayer without adhan or iqamah. He recited a sermon after the prayer. In the sermon, he ordered Muslims to sacrifice animals. He himself sacrificed two animals. While slaughtering one of the fleshy white rams, he said,   “O Allah! This is on behalf of my ummah, who witness your oneness and what came to me from you.” While slaughtering the second one, he said, “O Allah! This is for Muhammad and the household of Mu¬hammad. He himself, his household and the poor ate from the meat of the second ram. 

That was the first eid al-adha in Islam!

Hujan.

Selamat datang lagi untuk bumi. BumiNya gersang tanpa tetesanmu hujan. Meski kadang angin masih membersamai, tapi tidak sesejuk ketika kamu ada. Tau nggk apa yang dibawa angin? Panas. Sehingga kadang ketika angin hadir, bukan sejuk yang didapat namun terbakar.

Tapi hujan. Tahukah kau apa yang dikata manusia.? Jangan sakit hati hujan. Karena turun tidaknya dirimu atas perintah Tuhanku bukan. Manusia berkata "Aduhhh, kok hujan lagi sih. Aku kan pengen ini pengen itu. Bla bla bla". Sebelum kau hadir beberapa saat lalu, manusia banyak berharap pada Tuhan "Allah, turunkan hujan walau sekali. Supaya sumurku terisi lagi. Supaya tanamanku kembali subur. Supaya cuacanya sejuk lagi. Bla bla bla."

Hujan. Manusia itu di ciptakan Allah dengan penuh kelah kesah. إنّ الإنسان خلق هلوعا (QS. Al muzzammil 19). Hadirnya tidaknya kamu hujan, pasti ada aja yang di keluhin. Emang udah bawaannya.

Sekali lagi hujan, selamat datang kembali ke bumi. Semoga datangmu memberikan manfaat untuk bumiNya. Aamiin aamiin
