Basi itakuchukua kutoka uwanja wa ndege wa Jeddah hadi Makkah. Itasimama katika ofisi ya Mohassasah huko Ajyad, Makkah. Hapo utapewa vitu viwili, kadi na bangili ya mkononi. Vyote viwili ni muhimu. Kadi hii itafunikwa kwa plastiki ikiwa na picha yako, na wakala wako. Utakapopokea kadi hii utakuwa rasmi Hajji. Kadi hii itakupa ruhusa halali ya kuingia kwenye mahema ya Mina/Arafaat. Pia ina maelezo ya eneo la hema lako huko Mina na Arafaat. Yaliyo hapo juu hayatarudiwa kwa kuwa ni sawa kwa wanaokuja kwa basi kutoka Madinah kwenda Makkah. Utaratibu wa kuingia kwao ni sama na ule wa wanaokuja/wanaoingia kutoka Jeddah kwenda Makkah.

The bus will take you from Jeddah airport to Makkah. It will stop at the Mohassasah office in Ajyad in Makkah. There you will be given two things, a card and a wrist band. Both are important. This card will be plasticized with your photo on it, by your agent. When you receive this card you will officially become a Hajji. This card will gain you legal access to the tents in Mina/ Arafaat. It also has details of your tent location in Mina and Arafaat. The above will not be repeated for it is the same for those coming by bus from Madinah to Makkah. The entry procedure for them is the same as the one coming/ entering from Jeddah to Makkah.

Ukiamua kusafiri kwa ndege kutoka Madinah kwenda Makkah kupitia Jeddah, basi utaratibu unaopaswa kufuatwa ni huu. Wakala wako atayajulisha ofisi zinazohusika ili pasipoti yako ifike uwanja wa ndege wa Madinah kabla ya safari yako ya ndege. Unaenda uwanja wa ndege wa Madinah, unakabidhi mizigo yako na kupokea pasi yako ya kupandia ndege. Kabla ya kuingia eneo la kupitia (transit), watakutambua kwa kutumia pasipoti yako, na kisha utaruhusiwa kupanda ndege.

If you decide to go by air from Madinah to Makkah via Jeddah, then this is the procedure to be adopted. Your agent will inform the necessary offices so that your passport reaches Madinah airport before your flight. You go to Madinah airport, hand your luggage in and receive you boarding pass. Before going into transit they will identify you via your passport and then you will be allowed to board.

Baada ya safari ya saa 1 ndani ya ndege, uko kwenye uwanja wa ndege wa ndani wa Jeddah. Kutoka hapa utalazimika kutafuta ofisi ambako pasipoti yako ilipelekwa, kisha kuwajulisha maafisa. Kisha watakupangia basi la kukupeleka kwenye jengo la Hajj. Hili linaweza kuchukua muda. Utakapofika kwenye jengo la Hajj, nenda sehemu ya nchi yako. Kuanzia hapo utapandishwa kwenye basi la kwenda Makkah kwa ajili ya Umrah.

After a 1 hour flight you are in Jeddah domestic airport, from here you will have to locate the office where your passport went, inform the officials. Now they will allocate a bus for you to take you to the Hajj terminal. This may take time, when you reach the Hajj terminal, go to your countries section. From there you will be put on a Bus to Makkah for Umrah.

Kwa sasa, utafiti wetu unaonyesha kwamba viwanja vya ndege vya Jeddah viko nje ya Miqat, na mji wa Jeddah uko ndani ya Miqat.

Currently, our research shows that the airports of Jeddah are outside the Meeqat and the city of Jeddah is within the Meeqat.

Ndiyo maana mtu hahitaji kujipamba kwa Ihraam anapokwenda kununua bidhaa huko Jeddah.

That is why one does not have to adorn Ihraam when one goes shopping in Jeddah.

Safari ya kwenda Makka kutoka Madina kupitia Jeddah kwa ndege inaweza kuwa ndefu; badala ya kuokoa muda, mtu anaweza kweli kupoteza muda. Hata hivyo, ni jambo jema kwa wazee, wagonjwa, wazee sana na walemavu ambao hawawezi kustahimili safari ndefu na ya kuchosha ya saa 8 hadi 12 kutoka Madina kwenda Makka kwa basi. Watu hawa wanaweza kupumzika katika uwanja wa ndege wa Jeddah kisha kuendelea na safari.

The trip to Makkah from Madinah via Jeddah by air can be lengthy, instead of saving time, one may actually loose time. However, it is good for the elderly, sick, very old and incapacitated who cannot manage the lengthy, tedious 8 to 12 hours journey from Madinah to Makkah by bus. These people can rest in Jeddah airport then proceed.

Wakala wako atakujulisha wakati wa kuondoka Madina.

Your agent will inform you when you are to depart from Madinah.

Panga kwa makini kabla ya safari, kisha nenda ukatoe Salaam na Swalah kwa Nabii ﷺ na uombe dua kwamba Allah akurudishe tena Madina. Wanawake wanaweza kwenda kwenye ukuta ulio karibu zaidi na kaburi la Nabii ﷺ na kutoa Swalah na Salaam zao.

Plan yourself carefully, prior to that go and present Salaat was Salaam to Nabi r and make duaa that Allaah brings you back again to Madinah. The ladies may go to the nearest wall adjacent to the grave of Nabi r and present their Salaat was Salaam.

Hakikisha kwamba mizigo yako iko kwenye basi la kwenda Makkah. Jiandae kwa safari ya saa 8, 12 au 16. Basi kwanza litaenda Hijri, nje ya Madinah, kwa ukaguzi mkubwa wa pasipoti na ukaguzi mwingine. Kisha basi litaenda Dhul Hulaifah / Masjid Ash-Shajarah / Bir Ali + 12.

Now make sure that your luggage is on the bus to Makkah. Get ready for an 8/ 12/ 16 hour journey. The bus will first go to Hijri, outside Madinah, for this major passport control/ check etc. Then the bus will go to Zul Hulaifah/ Masjid e Shahjara/ Bir e Ali +_ 12

maili kutoka Madinah. Hapa ndipo Nabii ﷺ alipovaa Ihram chini ya mti; jaribu kuvaa Ihram yako hapa. Huduma zilizopo ni bora sana.

miles from Madinah. This is where Nabi r adorned Ihraam under a tree; try to adorn your Ihraam here. The facilities are excellent.

Choo, bafu, wudhu, huduma za msikitini ni nzuri. Hata hivyo, unaposhuka kwenye basi, zingatia yafuatayo:- 1.) Mahali basi lako limeegeshwa; 2.) Namba ya basi; 3.) Rangi ya basi; 4.) Alama au vitu vingine vya kukutambulisha vilivyo karibu na basi lako.

Toilet, shower, wudhu, Masjid amenities are good. However, when you alight, take note of the following:- 1.) Where your bus is parked ; 2.) The number of the bus ; 3.) The colour of the bus ; 4.) Any other landmarks or signs around your bus.

Kumbuka, mabasi yote yanafanana, na madereva pia wanafanana, wamevaa overall za bluu.

Remember, all busses look alike, so do the drivers, in blue overalls.

Hapa ni mahali ambapo mtu anaweza kupotea kwa urahisi, kuchanganyikiwa na kuwa na wasiwasi, na tumeona wengi wakilia hapa. Milango ya wanaume na ya wanawake ni tofauti. Mtu haruhusiwi kuingia msikitini na mizigo yoyote.

This is an area where one can easily get lost, confused, worried and we have seen many weeping here. Men and women entrances are separate. One is not allowed to take any luggage into the Masjid.

Jinaayaat nane zifuatazo ni haramu kwa Umrah na Hija.

The following eight Jinaayaat are prohibited for both Umrah and Haj.

1) Kutumia manukato.

1) Using perfume.

2) Kwa wanaume kuvaa nguo zilizoshonwa.

2) For men to wear sewn clothing.

3) Kwa wanaume kufunika kichwa au uso, na kwa wanawake kufunika uso.

3) For men to cover the head or face and for women to cover the face.

4) Kuondoa nywele.

4) Removal of hair.

5) Kukata kucha.

5) To cut the nails.

6) Tendo la ndoa.

6) Sexual intercourse.

7) Kuacha kitendo chochote cha Waajib.

7) To discard any Waajib act.

8) Kuwinda mnyama wa nchi kavu.

8) To hunt a land animal.

Wanawake wanapaswa kuoga ghusl katika hoteli, kisha wafanye sehemu iliyo hapo juu msikitini. Ikiwa wako katika hali ya ‘Haiz’ au ‘Nifaaz’, basi wanahitaji tu kuweka nia na kusoma Talbiyyah ili kuingia katika Ihraam. Watoto wanaoweza kuelewa wanapaswa kufundishwa na kuelezwa kile kinachoendelea. Watoto ambao hawawezi kuelewa, Ihraam inapaswa kuvaliwa na walezi wao. Kisha safari ndefu na yenye kuchosha kwenda Makkah inaanza. Kila safari ni muujiza.

The women should take ghusl in hotel and then do the section above in Masjid. If they are in ‘Haiz’ or ‘Nifaaz’ then they only have to make intention and read Talbiyyah to enter the Ihraam. Children who can understand should be taught and explained as to what is happening. Children who cannot understand, the Ihraam should be put on them by their guardians. Then the tedious and generally tiresome lengthy trip to Makkah starts. Each trip is a miracle.

Kuna vituo kadhaa njiani, vingine kwa ajili ya Swala, vingine kwa ajili ya chakula, kujaza mafuta, na kwa ukaguzi wa pasipoti wa ghafla. Kwa ujumla, huduma zilizo barabarani si nzuri. Inashauriwa kushuka kwenye basi na kutembea huku na kule ili damu izunguke vizuri mwilini. Ukikaribia Makkah, utapewa "padkos", yaani chakula chepesi: zamzam, mkate, keki, tende na vinginevyo. Chukua pia mfuko tupu wa plastiki wa kubebea vitu hivi hadi chumbani kwako Makkah. Karibu sana na Makkah, kuna kituo kimoja kikuu cha mwisho cha ukaguzi, na mwongozaji hupanda basini ili kumwelekeza dereva hadi Mohassasah ya Afrika Kusini iliyoko Ajyad, Makkah. Basi husimama Mohassasah. Dereva huchukuliwa na mwongozaji akiwa na pasipoti hadi ofisini, kisha maafisa hukuja na kukupa kadi na bangili ya mkononi. Vyote viwili ni muhimu. Kadi hii itafungwa kwa plastiki ikiwa na picha yako, kupitia wakala wako. Utakapopokea kadi hii, utakuwa rasmi Hajji. Kadi hii itakupa ruhusa ya kisheria ya kuingia kwenye mahema ya Mina na Arafaat. Pia ina maelezo ya mahali hema lako lilipo Mina na Arafaat.

Various stops are made, some for Salaat, others for food, for refuelling, for spot passport checks. Generally the facilities on the road are not good. It is advisable to alight from the bus and walk around so that the blood circulation takes place. Nearing Makkah, one is given “padkos” – some light meal – zam zam, bread, cake, dates etc, carry an empty plastic packet to carry all this to your room in Makkah. Very near Makkah, one final major check point is done and a guide gets on the bus to take the driver to the South African Mohassasah in Ajyad in Makkah. The bus stops at Mohassasah. The driver is taken by the guide with the passports into the office, officials come and hand you a card and wrist band. Both are important. This card will be plasticized with your photo on it, by you agent. When you receive this card you will officially become a Hajji. This card will gain you legal access to the tents in Mina/ Arafaat. It also has details of your tent location in Mina and Arafaat.

Tunaomba dua: "Ee Allah, kubali dua yetu ya sasa, dua zetu za zamani na dua zetu za baadaye." Urefu wa dua hutegemea tabia za wenzako. Usichelewesha bila sababu wala kuwaharakisha wenzako. Kuwa wastani.

We make duaa: “Ya Allaah, accept our present duaa, past duaa and future duaas.” The duration of duaa depends on the temperament of your companions. Do not unnecessarily delay or even rush your companions. Be moderate.
