Rincian Perlengkapan Haji

Blog ini bukan untuk jualan perlengkapan tapi hanya untuk sharing pengalaman selama saya melakukan ibadah ke tanah suci semata, selama di Indonesia kita pasti bingung apa saja yang mesti dibawa.

Ibadah Haji sendiri merupakan salah satu jenis ibadah yang menyenangkan dan mesti dilakukan dengan khidmat agar semua proses rukun maupun wajib hajinya terpenuhi.  Saat Haji kita akan diberi 3 buah tas oleh pihak penerbangan baik itu Saudi Arabia Airlines maupun oleh garuda Indonesia Berikut adalah rincian untuk peralatan yang mesti dibawa saat ibadah haji:
1. Koper Besar 

-   Koper ini berisi berupa perlengkapan pakaian ganti kita selama berada disana

-   Baju ihrom dua pasang (4 helai)

-   Perlengkapan kesehatan pribadi

-   Perlengkapan makan dan minum

-   Perlengkapan mencuci

-   Handuk besar

-   Perlengkapan pendukung seperti payung, sprei, sandal jepit, kantung batu, plastik, alat cukur, gunting, tali plastik, sarung tangan, alat jahit, masker, tempat uang agar tidak ada disatu titik.

-   Bila kita ada yang terlupa mengenai perlengkapan-perlengkapan tersebut jangan panic dan tetap tenang karena semua kebutuhan tersebut tersedia lengkap ditoko-toko (bin dawood) yang berada disekeliling masjid baik itu Nabawi maupun Haram.

***Bila semua perlengkapan telah masuk kedalam koper disarankan untuk dikunci kembali dengan menggunakan tali rambang demi keamanan barang-barang bawaan 

             2. Tas Tentengan

-   Berisi perlengkapan mandi

-   Handuk kecil

-   Makanan kecil

-   Perlengkapan pendukung seperti kacamata baca maupun hitam , botol minuman

-   Perlengkapan shalat

-   Jaket

-   Perlengkapan peralatan telekomunikasi terutama charger dan powerbank

.            3. Tas paspor

-   Berisi buku hijau kesehatan

-   SPMA (Surat Perintah Masuk Asrama)

-   Paspor

-   Data diri (KTP, Photo)

-   Dompet yang berisi uang seperlunya dan kartu ATM yang berlogo VISA bila kita butuh sedikit penarikan uang via ATM

-   Alat tulis seperlunya

Untuk masalah makan tidak perlu risau karena selama di madinah kita telah disediakan 3 kali makan oleh pemerintah lengkap dengan buah-buahanya dan sekeliling masjid Nabawi pun banyak para pedagang makanan baik itu khas timur tengah maupun makanan Indonesia sendiri.
contoh makanan katering yang dijamin oleh pemerintah:

Membeli makanan baru kita lakukan baik itu memasak sendiri maupun membeli sendiri dengan uang living cost yang diberikan oleh pemerintah selama berada di Mekah, tetapi itu juga tak perlu takut karena banyak sekali pedagang disekitar Masjidil Haram.   

Semoga bermanfaat bagi para calon jamaah Haji,,,

Saya doakan semoga yang membaca blog ini dapat segera untuk pergi Haji Aamiin,,,

PIlih HAJI Atau UMROH??

Zaman sekarang ini sedang trend bila liburan diisi dengan melakukan bepergian keluar negeri hanya untuk mengharapkan kepuasan semata dan menghilangkan kepenatan beban pikiran, banyak dikalangan umat muslim yang melakukan hal tersebut dan menjadikan destinasi akhirnya jatuh pada umroh atau haji.

Banyak sekali rekan-rekan saya yang menanyakan enakan pergi haji atau umroh terlebih dahulu? dan saya selalu menjawab lebih baik pergi HAJI terlebih dahulu meskipun nanti daftar tunggunya yang panjang dengan alasan:

1. Haji merupakan RUKUN ISLAM yang ke lima
2. Disebutkan dalam Al-Quran surat Al Baqarah ayat 196. "dan sempurnakanlah ibadah haji dan 'umrah karena Allah...." dalam ayat ini disebutkan urutan untuk melakukan ibadah yang menempatkan ibadah haji terlebih dahulu lalu Umroh, karena Insya Allah dengan kita memiliki niat untuk pergi Haji dan telah melakukan pendaftaran maka ibadah umroh pun akan kita dapatkan juga selama kita menunggu perjalanan haji tersebut
3. Biasanya kita pusing bagaimana cara mendapatkan uang sebanyak itu, jangan pusing akan hal tersebut karena Allah SWT telah membuat jaminan dalam Al-Quran surat Al Baqarah ayat 202 " mereka Itulah orang-orang yang mendapat bahagian daripada yang mereka usahakan; dan Allah sangat cepat perhitungan-Nya." dalam ayat ini telah jelas bahwa Allah yang memberikan rezeki diseluruh alam ini dan kita hanya perlu untuk berusaha/ ikhtiar dalam mencarinya.
4. Selama melakukan ibadah haji kita pasti melakukan ibadah umroh dan selama disana kita dapat melakukan umroh sunah beberapa kali karena semasa hidup Rasulullah SAW hanya melakukan umroh sebanyak empat kali.
5. Bila orang yang mampu lalu dia tidak melakukan ibadah haji maka tinggal memilih agama diluar Islam. mampu disini bukan semata-mata materi tapi juga dapat melihat orang-orang disekitar kita (keluarga, tetangga) apakah masih membutuhkan bantuan kita atau tidak karena sebaik-baik manusia adalah yang bermanfaat bagi orang lain.
6. Berhajilah selagi kita masih diberi waktu senggang, fisik yang sehat, dan saat muda dikarenakan ibadah haji adalah ibadah banyak menguras energi
7. Kelimpahan rezeki yang halal seperti yang disebutkan dalam Al-Quran surat Al Baqarah ayat 195 "dan belanjakanlah (harta bendamu) di jalan Allah, dan janganlah kamu menjatuhkan dirimu sendiri ke dalam kebinasaan, dan berbuat baiklah, karena Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berbuat baik."

Inilah sebahagian alasan saya melakukan ibadah Haji saat usia muda dan jawaban kepada rekan-rekan yang selalu bertanya kepada saya.

Adab Bertetangga

Melakukan perjalanan umroh dan haji sangat erat kaitanya dengan hablum minannas kita sebagai manusia untuk dapat menjaga tali silaturahmi dan rasa keamanan serta kekeluargaan selama melakukan perjalanan ke Baitullah. untuk menghilangkan konflik-konflik yang biasa terjadi alangkah baiknya bila kita belajar mengenai cara atau adab-adab bertetangga terlebih dahulu.
berikut artikel terkait mengenai hal itu:

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, Oleh Muhbib Abdul Wahab
Manusia ditakdirkan oleh Allah SWT sebagai makhluk sosial. Ia tidak dapat hidup sendiri, tanpa kerja sama dengan orang lain atau bermasyarakat.

Karena itu, dalam hidup bermasyarakat, berbangsa, dan bernegara kita selalu hidup bertetangga, membutuhkan satu sama lain.

Tetangga merupakan mitra sosial terdekat kita. Dengan tetangga, kita belajar hidup bersama (learning to life together) secara simbiosis-mutualistik, saling berbagi dan saling menguntungkan.

Bertetangga dengan baik (rukun dan harmoni) merupakan manifestasi keimanan yang sempurna. Belum sempurna iman seseorang jika masih suka menyakiti tetangganya. "Siapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhir, maka janganlah menyakiti tentangganya." (HR Al-Bukhari dan Muslim).

Namun, terkadang kita menjumpai tetangga yang tidak tahu diri. Ibnu Mas'ud pernah didatangi oleh seorang sahabat yang mengadukan perlakuan tetangganya terhadap dirinya.

"Saya mempunyai seorang tetangga yang selalu menyakitiku, mencaci maki diriku, dan mempersempit gerak langkahku."

Ibnu Mas'ud menasehatinya, "Pergilah..! Jika tetangga itu maksiat kepada Allah, maka engkau harus tetap taat kepada-Nya dalam memperlakukannya!"

Hidup bertetangga secara baik merupakan miniatur moral hidup bernegara. Kita harus saling memahami hak dan kewajiban masing-masing.

Interaksi antartetangga dapat berjalan dengan baik jika semuanya mau hidup berbagi suka dan duka, tidak mengedepankan individualitas.

Suatu ketika Rasul SAW bertanya kepada para sahabat, "Tahukah kalian, apa saja yang menjadi hak-hak tetangga itu?" "Hanya Allah dan Rasul-Nya yang paling tahu," jawab mereka.

Rasul lalu menjelaskan, "Hak-hak tetangga itu adalah: jika ia meminta pertolongan kepadamu, tolonglah dia; jika meminta pinjaman kepadamu, pinjamilah dia; jika meminta bantuan kepadamu, bantulah dia; jika ia sakit, jenguklah dia; jika ia memperoleh kebaikan atau kesuksesan, berilah ia ucapan selamat; jika ia mengalami musibah, berikanlah ta'ziyah (doa dan penghiburan); jika ia meninggal dunia, antarkanlah jenazahnya.”

“Janganlah engkau meninggikan bangunan rumahmu sehingga menghalangi ventilasi udara tetanggamu tanpa seizinnya; janganlah pula engkau menyakitinya karena engkau memasak suatu makanan yang baunya dapat dirasakan oleh tetanggamu tanpa engkau memberi sebagiannya.”
“Jika engkau membeli buah-buahan, berikanlah sebagian untuknya. Jika engkau tidak memberinya, maka bawalah masuk buah-buahan itu ke dalam rumahmu secara sembunyi-sembunyi. Dan janganlah anak-anakmu sampai membawa keluar rumah buah-buah itu, sehingga anak-anak tetanggamu menjadi tahu dan memicu kemarahan mereka." (HR Tabrani).

Sungguh indah adab bertetangga yang diteladankan Rasul SAW. Jika hak-hak tetangga tersebut dapat dilaksanakan dalam kehidupan, niscaya konflik, kelaparan, kemalangan, dan penderitaan yang dialami tetangga tidak perlu terjadi.

Sebaliknya, dengan memenuhi hak-hak tetangga, semua warga masyarakat akan saling memiliki kesetiakawanan dan solidaritas sosial yang tinggi.

Adab bertetangga tidak hanya penting dipahami oleh warga bangsa, melainkan juga penting diteladankan oleh para pemimpin. Keteladanan dari pemimpin menjadi salah satu barometer terwujudnya keharmonisan sosial.

Adab bertetangga yang diajarkan Rasulullah SAW tersebut tetap relevan diaktualisasikan di dalam masyarakat modern, terutama masyarakat perkotaan yang cenderung individualis dan menutup diri. Wallahu a’lam.

Pentingnya Bahasa

Perjalanan Haji tahun 1434 H membuat saya terkesan dengan berkumpulnya berbagai umat muslim diseluruh dunia yang berada dalam satu tempat, saya kira berbekal bahasa Inggris yang dianggap bahasa Internasional sudah cukup untuk membuat saya dapat berkomunikasi dengan berbagai pihak akan tetapi dugaan saya ternyata salah, tidak semua orang mengerti akan bahasa Inggris termasuk ketika kita bepergian ke berbagai tempat yang akhirnya hanya menggunakan bahasa Tarzan (isyarat tangan). Bahasa Inggris digunakan hanya ketika kita melakukan komunikasi dengan umat yang sama-sama melakukan ibadah haji dengan melakukan perjalanan jauh dari negara-negara sekitar arab

Sedikit demi sedikit dari hari demi hari yang telah dilalui akhirnya dapat mengerti akan bahasa daerah disana yakni bahasa Arab minimal mengerti untuk melakukan perjalanan ketika menggunakan taksi, dalam berkomunikasi sehari-hari disana dengan orang arab saya terbantukan dengan adanya google translate oleh karena itu saya tidak bisa lepas dari gadget smartphone yang memiliki banyak kegunaan termasuk ketika melakukan sesi photo-photo :D

Pentingnya bahasa dari daerah yang bersangkutan membuat saya banyak belajar bahwa benar kiranya bahwa kita mesti mengerti bahasa dari suatu daerah sebelum melakukan perjalanan.

Why Ethernet Is Your Most Cost Effective Option For Business

By Jon Arnold

There is a lot of misinformation out there about what Ethernet is, and since the term has become popular, even many of the cable companies are saying they now provide "Ethernet". While that may be true from a technical perspective, Ethernet from a cable company is still the over-subscribed and over-saturated network that you get with typical cable. As the saying goes, you can put lipstick on a pig but....

Ethernet solutions from real carriers who provide dedicated connections are not for residential use or home businesses, simply because the price for 3-4 users can rarely be justified. But if your business is at a point where you are looking at using, or perhaps are already using a T1 line or maybe even a bonded T1 line, and almost without a doubt if you are using a DS3 or OC-x circuit, Ethernet is by far a much more cost effective connectivity solution.

The bad news is that Ethernet is not available everywhere. While a T1 circuit, bonded T1 circuit, and even for the most part, a DS3 circuit can be installed just about anywhere you can get a phone line installed from your local phone company, Ethernet is not nearly as widely available. But that said, it is becoming more and more available every day across the nation, and indeed across the world. Ethernet solutions are available in just about every major city today, and if your business is located in or near a city with a population of 100k or more, chances are pretty high that Ethernet options are available to you today.

How much more cost effective is it? Much of that depends on what kind of Ethernet you want to get. At the lower end, there is EOC or Ethernet Over Copper, sometimes also known as EODS1 or Ethernet Over DS1. Those types of circuits, as the name implies, are delivered over copper lines and can start as low as 3 MB. But that 3 MB Ethernet circuit is probably going to cost as much as HALF as much as the SAME bandwidth of a two bonded T1 circuit. If you really need a fiber connection, your lowest end option is going to start at 10 MB Ethernet, but again, that 10 MB Ethernet circuit on what is known as Fast Ethernet is going to cost about half as much (or even less) as equivalent bandwidth on a bonded T1 or fractional DS3. Above 100 MB Ethernet, now you get into Gigabit Ethernet.

Let's talk for a moment about copper versus fiber, since this seems to be a point of confusion and more general misinformation. For a given level of bandwidth, say 10 MB, two circuits both delivering 10 MB of bandwidth, one on copper and the other on fiber, will finish in a dead heat. Fiber is not faster, contrary to what many believe. But fiber is able to be upgraded to higher levels of bandwidth, whereas copper starts to peter out at higher levels of bandwidth, but at about the 10-15 MB level, even as much as 20 MB in some major cities, there is NO speed difference between copper and fiber.

If you are looking for your best value for Business Ethernet services from a reliable and rock-solid carrier who will provide dedicated Internet services to your business with leading Service Level Agreements, check out what might be available in your area from amongst the 35+ carriers we represent, where we guarantee that the price we offer from those carriers is the lowest that they will offer, even if you go to the carrier directly.

Don't throw money down the drain if you don't need to. In these economic time, businesses need and want to maximize the money they spend for communications costs, and utilizing Business Ethernet for your connectivity needs is a great place to start.

Types of Business Communication Skills

by nimra anwar

Business communication skills are a daily fraction of the business method and their effectual use can increase the likeliness of achieving accomplishment. Successful communication skills are second-hand to express a precise message that the receiver can comprehend.

At what time considering how to build a business victorious, high-capacity business society, high pressure surroundings and lots of currency may get nearer to mind. Even though these aspects may contribute to the go up of a industry, an assortment of essential skills is caught up in supporting that company.

Without business communication, it will be unfeasible to keep strong relationships with your employees and with your customers. In fact, deprived message skills can escort to mistakes, lost income and clients, plus displeased employees. Big business communication encompasses a lot of things. Advertising, marketing, speech writing, sales, product growth, and investor relations -- the roll goes on. Apart from of the industry, the four most vital areas of business message are public speaking/presentations, marketing, social media and networking.

Big business Communication used to endorse a manufactured goods, service, or organization.Business communication is fairly dissimilar and matchless from other types of communication since the point of business is to make money. Therefore, to develop productivity, the communicator should expand good statement skills.

Being unbeaten in business is dependent on your talent to communicate successfully. Quite a few different kinds of communication skills are obligatory.

External business communication:

External communication refers to any communication you have with customers, vendors, and populace that are exterior the company. These people help to maintain your business prosperous by offering you low prices on unprocessed goods and purchasing products from your companionship. When you are dealing with external communication, it comes down to your skill to reach everyone approximately you. External business communication is just as imperative to the life and vivacity of a business as internal communication. External business communication places focal point on the relationships and a mixture of audiences that are outside of the company. External communication's main phrase is through public relations, media relations, marketing management and advertising. Doing well businesses exploit effective internal and external business communication to achieve the company's goals and task.

Internal business communication:

While you are dealing with internal business communication, you are working on the flow of the business. Internal communication is frequently harder to work on from external communication because you have a handful of different personalities that require your direction on a day by day root. Every person is going to come with their own preferences as to how things should be ended in the place of work and breaking them free of this state of mind can be challenging. Internal Communication, in a business framework, is the dialog procedure amid employees and employer. Where the 'top-down', employer-driven communication is immense for setting a communication program or conversation spot, it is the peer-to-peer employee communications that resolve the manner of the reply back to the employer. As a result, to sum up, 'Internal Communication' is the conversations that businesses have with their employees and those workers have by means of each other.

Beyond doubt effective communication only happens when substance and style are brought mutually in the best balance for the theme, the viewers and the event. The skill of communication in today's culture can frequently be the difference between achievement and breakdown.

The Power of the Super WiFi

The Super Wifi is a communication revolution that is likely to move from the USA to Europe and other parts of the world. It will particularly be effective for the rural areas that are unable to deal with the lines that are required for the conventional connections. The frequencies might be used to change the TV channels so that there are multiple uses for the domestic homes. It will transform the broadband system as well as the digital television industry.

The acceptance by the US Federal Communications Commissions or the FCC has reassured many prospective customers that might have been skeptical about the true value of the Super Wifi system. The European Union is looking at the possibilities that come with the FCC recommendation. This is an indicator that this program might be implemented in countries such as the United Kingdom.

There is a particular strain in the way that the Super Wi-Fi is operating. From time to time there is some possibility for the network to be used outside the stereotypes. The great thing about technology is the fact that it is constantly evolving in order to deal with the expectations of the general public.

The benefits of the Super WiFi

1. It will be able to access rural areas. If we are to accept that the internet is connected to development then this might transform the power of the developed nations to influence their futures. In the end it will open up the world for the rest of the world that was previously closed off from the online revolution. The developing world has many rural areas and the introduction of the Super Wi-Fi will bring new elements to the way that these issues are handled. It will also make a great foundation in terms of the possibilities for the technology.
2. The Super Wi-Fi system can go beyond certain obstacles such as walls. There is a potential for sixteen times the current coverage of the broadband companies. This will be part of the development program for the communication systems within different communities. Often the satellite provision cannot overcome landmarks such as walls. If the people can get the signal then they face the risks of the poor reception. With this system such a problem is seriously minimized.
3. The Super Wi-Fi has a really simple formula for operation. It is able to carry fiber optic cables which send signals from a central point. The space frequencies will be used to move from different locations. It can also act as the foundation for more complex communication systems for the users. The wireless router is very flexible going right up to the desktop. The simplicity of the technology is a great selling point and will almost certainly change the perspectives that the users have. This is a product that is capable of so much depending on the way that the client is making an assessment. It is also one of the ways in which the product can be effectively developed for this purpose.
