Arafah - Without it, no haj
Why did I say like that? For all the others rukun in Haji, if you can't do it you can let others do it for you. But, for wuquf in Arafah, you have to be there yourself; soul and body. What do you there? Anything, you can sleep the whole day if you want. But be known, wuquf time is when the "pintu rahmat" is wide open and it is the time Allah is nearest to us. So, think yourself what you should do during wuquf. This is the starting point of your haji, if you got it wrong then ... wallahualam. Anyway rukun haji is as below, for those who do not know
- Niat
- Wuquf di Arafah
- Tawaf Ifadah
- Saei
- Bercukur
- Tertib (pada kebanyakkan rukun)
During the khutbah of wuquf, after Zohor prayer.

Sunday update
It's been almost 2 weeks I'm back here. Thank you to those who'd given me their well wishes. Appreciate that. Started work last week however couldn't last the whole week. Strucked with fever on Thursday but only MC on Friday and here I am on Sunday afternoon still having the fever, subsiding though. With nothing to do, decided to change the blog layout, something dark yet peaceful looking ... yeah right.
Finally, transfered all the images taken back in Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah. I'll be posting a few of them here for my readers (are there any?) viewing pleasure. So, for those who kept asking me did i skin my head, see my first pic posting. It was taken on 10 Zulhijjah (I think it's 10th January) morning - the Hari Raya Haji itself. I just skinned my head the nite before (well it's actually a few hours before). So there you go ... me, sunbathing in Mina while the other "pakciks" were having their breakfast.
