Makkah journey (pt7) - Mabit Muzdalifah

Mabit Muzdalifah
We arrived Muzdalifah at 9.20pm and find our spot for prayer and zikrullah in an open, dark and dusty field. This is when we have to remind ourselves on "gambaran alam kubur" where thousand of people is placed in one small and cramped space. Our only friend in Muzdalifah zikrullah and patience.
In Muzdalifah while waiting for the bus to Mina, we took the chance to collect small stones for "melontar" in Mina.
The mabit time started after half the night of 10 Zulhijjah which was declared to be at 11.30pm. First bus leaving Muzdalifah to Mina was at 12.30 midnight.
After hours of waiting I see people showing their temper - loosing patience. Nauzubillah!. These people are tired and were not happy about them having to wait for a long time for the bus. This is exactly the purpose of the entire thing - controlling our temper and be patience. PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE
Alhamdulillah finally at 5.30am we board our bus to Mina and arrived at 6.30am (only 6.8km.. just imagine the traffic!)
Masha'Allah
I thanks Allah for giving me patience through this entire journey. Alhamdulillah
