Jeddah to Makkaĥ
On arriving at Jeddah airport, disembark from the plane with your
hand-luggage reciting Labbayk ( َّ َ
) with utmost devotion. Make
بلي ك
your way towards the custom’s counter. After collecting baggage
and getting your passport and documents checked, proceed to the
bus organized by your Mu’allim.
The formalities of clearing customs and arrival of the bus may take
around 6 to 8 hours; therefore, show great patience in this situation.
The distance between Makka-tul-Mukarramaĥ and Jeddah airport
is covered in about one or one and half hours, but there may be
some delay due to traffic jams and legal formalities. You may also
have to wait for the bus. On every occasion, remain contented and
have patience, and keep reciting Labbayk.
Stirred up with anger, if you quarrel with organizers and shout [at
them], you will end up exploiting the situation instead of improving
it. You may also fall into committing the sins of wasting the Šawāb
of patience, hurting the Muslims, backbiting, accusing, bad suspicion,
etc. As the bus is organized by your Mu’allim, get on it with your
luggage while reciting Labbayk to lead towards Makkaĥ Mu’aẓẓamaĥ.
Iḥrām of those flying to Madīnaĥ
Those who directly reach Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ from their
country are advised to cover this journey without Iḥrām. When they
move towards Makkaĥ from Madīnaĥ, they should make the intention
of Iḥrām from Madīnaĥ or at Żul-Ḥulayfaĥ (Abyār-e-‘Alī).
Transport organized by Mu’allim
Whether you travel by air or by sea, all transportations from Jeddah
to Makkaĥ, ‘Arafāt, Minā, Madīnaĥ etc. and finally back to Jeddah
