Venture to West Bank & Jordan.

Al Aqsa Mosque is the only Mosque among the three (3) Mosques narrated in the Koran that I had not visited. It was from Al Aqsa Mosque, specifically at Quba Shakran that the Holy Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) ascended to Suratulmustakim or Heaven during the mikhraj. Almukminin Travel organized a trip to Palestine & umrah from 15 Jan 2014 and since I was just back from an umrah I just enrolled for the West Bank (Palestine) & Petra adventure.

15 Jan 2014: Gathered at KLIA at 1830 hrs to check in thirty eight (38) passengers (including yours truly) for Amman Jordan vide RJ 181 at 2210 hrs for Bangkok and Amman Jordan. The Tour Leader was Haji Mokhdzar Abdullah and assisted by yours truly. Among the entourage were familiar faces, my once Ramadan umrah roommate: Haji Wahab, Haji Ir. Bakhtiar and Haji Zaki. Haji Hasbullah Latiff - the Panglima from Sabah was with me during Cairo Umrah. New acquaintance were Dato Najib Alwi, Dato Aziz Sapian, Mohd Sees, Mustaffa Awang, Esmadi, Hjh Faridah & 2 friends, Hjh Norlalili & 2 friends and others.

Checking In

 Around midnight we landed at Bangkok.

16 Jan 2014: After refueling and embarkation of Amman bound passengers from Bangkok, Flight 181 took off at 0110 hrs for final destination, Amman Jordan. I slept through most of the flight. At 0610 hrs local time, RJ 181 landed at the newly inaugurated Queen Alia Airport, Amman. Mr Haitham Khazleh – Director Operation of Adam Travel & Tourism welcome us at the Airport. The weather was very chilly and cold at this early morning. The first destination in Amman was Ocean Hotel for breakfast.

Arrived Queen Alia Airport.

After breakfast, Mr Majidi our Tour Guide in Jordan joined us and we headed for the Jordan/ Israel border. We passed through the fruit basket of Jordan, the fertile Jordan Valley. Some of us were astonish to see banana plantation but it was no surprise to me, my second trip to Amman hinterland. Our passports were handled by Mr Majidi for Jordanian immigration formalities. There was no hassle at this part of the world. We took time off to visit the Duty Free Shop and some replenished their cigarettes stock. I got mine at KLIA, truly Malaysian products.

To Jordan/ Israel Border.

At Jordan Border.

The passports were individually returned and Mr Majidi did not join us crossing the Israelis border. We were now on our own and were warned to keep our cameras out of sight until we passed through the several Israelis Immigration check points. Mr. Mustaffa – the Bus Driver drove us to the crossings. We passed a narrow highway, span by electrical fencing and crossed King Hussein Allenby Bridge. This is the only access from Jordan into the West Bank. All was quiet and nervous in the Bus and the Bus came to a halt at the first Israeli check point. Entrance was only permitted after about ten (10) minutes when the light indicated green. Probably they have to receive confirmation and clearance from the Jordanian side that we were coming through.

The Bus stopped at the Immigration & Custom Complex; all alighted and retrieved our personal luggage. The Bus from Amman made its way back across the border. Each had to find a trolley, just like an Airport. We pushed the trolley and reported to a baggage counter. Our luggage was “checked in” and we queued up at another counter, the second check. Our Passport was scrutinized and requested where our destination was. Then we got to the third check where the “hand carry” luggage was scan and bodily check through the scanner. We were advised not to have any metallic detection materials along with us to avoid 100% bodily check. Passing through that, we got to the fourth check and this time our Passports were scanned. A “credit card” size pass was given acting as temporary Identity Card to enter Israel. Then came to the fifth check, where the Israelis issued Identity Card was checked and confirmed. Having passed the fifth check, we finally came to the Luggage Recovery Area. I made a mistake before the fifth check as I wanted to recover my luggage. I was reprimanded on spot and my “hand carry” luggage was 100% checked. I was scared stiff as I was requested to open the “hand carry” and requested to be seated at a distance until called. Cold sweat ran through my spine. I had my camera, spare hand phone, chargers and my medication pills in the “hand carry”. Syukur Alhamdullillah (thank God), it was only about five (5) minutes, I was summoned and my “hand carry” was cleared. However I was asked whether I took any pictures along the way and my answer was negative. I passed through the fifth check and entered the Luggage Recovery Area where my colleagues were all waiting for the total entourage to be cleared. We had to wait for about another thirty (30) minutes as one of our colleagues was not cleared by the Israelis Immigration. We sighed with relief when she appeared, collected our luggage and loaded into the awaiting Palestinian Bus.

The Tour guide at the Palestinian side was Mr Abduh Nadel and the Driver was also by the name of Mustaffa. What a coincidence? There were three (3) Mustaffas in the Bus, the Driver, Mustaffa Awang and Mustapa Hamid (me).

Our first destination was Jericho – known as the oldest Inhabited City in the World, by the Jordan River in the West Bank, northwest of the Dead Sea and 1300 feet below sea level. We headed for the Blue Mosque or Masjid Kaber to perform our jamak prayer of zohor and asar. We had our buffet lunch at Temptation Restaurant by the foothill of Mount Temptation. We started our journey towards Jerusalem by ascending the mountain to 0 and above the sea level. We could feel the variations in temperatures. We reached Jerusalem around 1600 hrs and checked into National Hotel, at A Zahra Street 4 Jerusalem and ten (10) minutes walk to the Old City.

We reached Jerusalem around 1600 hrs and checked into National Hotel, at A Zahra Street 4 Jerusalem and ten (10) minutes walk to the Old City.

National Hotel, jerusalem.

My main intention of pilgrimage to Jerusalem is the Al Aqsa Mosque and Quba Shakra (Al Haram Al Sharif or Dome of the Rock). We washed up quickly and with Haji Mokhzar Abdullah lead the way, we entered the Old City by the Herod Gate.

Plan of The Old City,

The Old city during the Good Old Days.

We walked through the narrow stone pave alley towards Zion and Lion Gate. At the end of Lion Gate we came to an iron wall gate, similar to prison gate. A small iron door at its side for pedestrian entrance and heavily armed guarded by Israelis Police. They just let us through without checking our identity even though we never forget to take it along. They can easily differentiate between a Palestinians and a foreigner. After we crossed the pedestrian iron door an unarmed Palestinian Security personnel welcome us to the Muslim Quarters. Marhaban brothers!! Walking about twenty (20) meters, the magnificent Quba Shakra was in sight. At last I saw it with my own eyes and I felt tremendously great. I climbed the marble steps and I was beside it. Without realizing, my tears trickled. Alhamdullillah, I am here, I raised my hand in doa of thanks to the Almighty. Descending the marble steps from east to west, Al Aqsa Mosque was right in front of me. Al Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest Mosque in Islam, narrated in the Koran and the original qiblat. I entered the Mosque with Bismillah and prayed the sunat of tahyatul Masjid. I waited for the azan of Maghreb and joined in the congregation. In between to Isyakh, I admired the beautiful décor and mosaic at the Mosque wall and roof. It was only after isyakh, we walked back slowly to the Hotel by the same alleyway we came by.

Back at the Hotel, we had Mediterranean cuisine for dinner. I slept well that night feeling mission and ambition accomplished. I have now prayed all the three (3) Mosques narrated in the Al Koran. What more can I ask for? Allah had been kind to me for bestowing the good health enabling your humble soul to fly from thousands kilometers away to be present at the Holy City of Jerusalem or Baitulmuqadis. 

17 January 2014: It’s Friday and Al Aqsa Mosque is the center of attraction by the Palestinians. It is the place the Palestinians are eagerly waiting for as only on Friday, the Palestinians are allowed to enter Al Aqsa for Friday congregation and prayer. I woke up early and we went to Al Aqsa Mosque for subuh prayer. The Imam conducted sujud sejadah and the normal qunut nazila. Imam Shafie School of Thoughts is being practiced in Baitulmuqadis. By the break of dawn I was still around Al Aqsa Mosque to admire Quba Shakra and Al Aqsa Mosque during bright daylight. Went back to the Hotel for breakfast and the program today was a guided tour to Mount Olive, the Old City and Prophet Ibrahim’s Mosque at Hebron.

Quba Shakra in the morning.

Al Aqsa at dawn.

The first itinerary of the day was Mount Olive. From Mount Olive we saw the overall view of The Old City and the majestic Quba Shakra or Dome of the Rock standing tall in the mid of The Old City. Nearby was Al Aqsa Mosque. We were only interested about these two (2) structures. The rest of the religious historical buildings and Houses of Prayers of various religions that fill the Old City were quickly briefed by the Tour Guide.

The Old city viewed from Mount Olive.

Next itinerary was The Old City vides Herod Gate, the Muslim Quarters. The other three (3) Quarters are Christians, Jewish and Armenian but the Muslim Quarters occupy the biggest area. The Tour Guide briefed us about the Old City, the history and presence. We first entered Quba Shakra or Dome of the Rock. Started with solat tahyatul Masjid, we then went to touch the hidden Holy Prophet’s footprint, insight look at the hanging rock and finally sunat prayer under the hanging rock. It was from upon the hanging rock that the Holy Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) commenced the mikhraj to Suratulmuntaha or Heaven. I just got the feeling that Heaven is just above me up somewhere in the sky. We proceeded to Masjid Buraq situated right of Al Aqsa Mosque. We then went underground of Al Aqsa Mosque where the ancient Library of Al Aqsa Mosque is located. We grouped for photograph session. The ladies were ushered and stay put in Quba Shakra for their Friday prayer and the men proceeded to Al Aqsa Mosque.

Immediately after Friday prayer we went out of the Old City by a different Gate that passed the Wailing Wall, the Jewish Quarter. As we exited through a different alleyway, the environment was different. This part of the Quarters is very much cleaner and well maintained. We also passed through the excavation center of the Old City and the process is still underway. We boarded the Bus and we were on the way to Hebron. Along the way we saw several Israel New settlements on the hills beyond. We got out of the Great Barrier Wall which segregated the ordinary Palestinians (Refugees) and the Israelis. We had Chinese ala Palestinians for lunch and also got to witness the Palestinian’s side of the Great Barrier Wall. My heart was weeping but I kept my mouth shut.

We passed through a Palestinian Refugee Camp and saw how cramp and disorganized the housings are. There were piles of domestic rubbish uncollected along the roadside. We then headed to the Souvenir Store to spend our JD and USD at this Store indirectly assisting the Palestinians cause of living.

Maghreeb in Israel was early at 1700 hrs and we proceeded to Masjid Ibrahim to solat jamak takhir, Maghreeb and Isyakh.

Ibrahim Mosque at Hebron

Considered to be the fourth holiest site in Islam, Al-Haram Al-Ibrahimi (Sanctuary of Abraham) or Tomb of the Patriarchs dominates the city of Hebron. This 1000-year old Mosque enshrines the tombs of the Prophets Abraham “Ibrahim”, Isaac “Is’haq”, Jacob, and their wives. It is believed that the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) visited it on his night of ishraq from Mecca to Jerusalem.

The structure may date from 1500 BC though Herod probably built the huge wall surrounding it. This site has been transformed by successive rules from a cave to the massive structure that it is today, as well as from a church, mosque and synagogue.

According to Arab legend, the massive stones of the walls built without mortar, were laid by King Solomon with the help of Genies or spirits. The construction of the walls and the pavement of the Haram, however, bear the unmistakable stamp of Herod the Great. Additional Crusader and Mamluk structures combine to make it one of the most impressive ancient monuments in the West Bank outside of Jerusalem.

The Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, also known as the Hebron massacre was a shooting attack carried out by American-born Israeli Baruch Goldstein, a member of the far-right Israeli Kach movement, who opened fire on unarmed Palestinian Muslims praying inside the Ibrahim Mosque (or Mosque of Abraham) at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, West Bank. It took place on February 25, 1994, during the overlapping religious holidays of Purim and Ramadan. The attack left 29 male worshippers dead and 125 wounded. The attack only ended after Goldstein had expended his ammunition, when he was overcome and beaten to death by survivors.

The attack set off riots and protests throughout the West Bank, and 19 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli Defense Forces within 48 hours of the massacre. Goldstein was widely denounced in Israel and by Jewish communities in the diaspora, with many attributing his act to insanity. Israeli Ibrahimi Mosque is unique of its kind in the world. The Mosque is now divided into two (2). The front portion is a Mosque and at the back, a wall seperated as synagogue. The partition is to please the Jewish community. The Mosque is securely guarded by Israelis Security and entrees scrutinizely checked.

After Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron we back track our way to the Hotel in Jerusalem for dinner.

Honestly I found difficulty to sleep that night as I had seen with my own eyes the Refuggees Settlement and the Israelis New Settlements; though I was sorry and angry, there is nothing I can do. It’s a lesson that I (we) should love Malaysia more and will not ever allow the Undesirables to take over.     

18 January 2014: I was now familiar with the stone paved alleyway to Al Aqsa from the Hotel and I led Haji Salim to go on our own for subuh. I felt more relaxed walking to and from Al Aqsa.

The plaque inside Masjid al Aqsa.

At Shop No 24, we stopped for complimentary Palestinian tea. The operator never fail to offer his sedekah to those back from Al Aqsa Mosque.

Sedekah is a Muslim way of life.

The Program today was to travel up north as far as Haifa. After breakfast, we boarded the Bus at 0900 hrs. We passed Tel Aviv by the Highway and headed straight to the Bahai Garden in Haifa. We had spectacular view of Haifa Port from the Garden Gate of Bahai Garden. Though Bahai Garden had nine (9) tiers, we were only allowed entrance up to two (2). We spent abour an hour enjoying the fantastic view down below. As a rememberance of this Port City and Bahai Garden, I bought a 15 USD watch from the street peddlar. I encountered two (2) misfortunes in Israel, my wristwatch snapped and my spectacle frame broke.

Modern Israel - to Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jaffa.

From Haifa we passed through the Capital City of Israel - Tel Aviv. There is only one (1) Mosque standing still in the middle of the City. We got to see the several Embassies along the way, the Swiss, the Americans, the Indians and the Singaporeans. Tel Aviv is exceptionally cleaned and beautifully located facing the Meditranean Sea. Down south of Tel Aviv is Jaffa. Half of the population is Israelis Arabs and has several Mosques and Islamic monuments. We had jewish lunch and its halal. For solat jamak of zohor and asar we walked nearby to Mahmudiyah Mosque built in 1812. Jaffa is famous for its oranges cultivated by the local Arabs. We then walked uphill nearby to Caramel Hill where we could view the old Jaffa Port and the beautiful stretch of white beaches down below.

We had travelled that far and saw modern Israel. Back to Jerusalem and the shop was still open. I managed to find a Palestinian Optician Shop and got my spectacle frame for 50 USD.

We were a little bit late for Maghreeb congregation in Al Aqsa, however we performed Magreeb with our own Imam. I was proud I became the Bilal and recited the qamat in Al Aqsa Mosque. For isyakh, we joined the congregation. Back to the Hotel for dinner and then adjourned to the Smoking Cafe to catch up with news back home vide the Hotel wifi. Tomorrow will be the last day in Jerusalem.  

19 January 2014: Last subuh at Al Aqsa. I managed to get hold of Imam 1 and Imam 2 of Al Aqsa Mosque after the prayer and recorded my presence with both of them. He was very happy of the Malaysian entourage and spoke great about Malaysian Muslims. I understand what he meant. Only foreigners like us Malaysians, can fill up the shaf during solat fardhu.

Had the “last breakfast” in Jerusalem and headed for the Israeli/ Jordan border at 0830 hrs. As I left the Al Aqsa Complex, I bid farewell to the Palestinian Security Personnel and requested to take good care of my Mosque. Insyallah brother, he replied.

Good bye Jerusalem or Israel. I had fond memories and journeyed through history. I keep politics within myself and I had achieved my Dream.

At Herod Gate, entrance to the Old City to the Muslim Quarters.

At the Israel Immigration side, there was not much hassle and we were the only group checking out. Only one (1) of us was temporarily detained of reasons beyond my comprehension. The Bus from Jordan with Mustaffa as the driver waited for us at the Israelis side. Finally we crossed the no man land between Israel and Jordan and arrived safely into Jordan Immigration Complex at 1100 hrs. Mr Majidi the Jordanian Tourist Guide rejoined us and pleased to see us all in one good piece. Immigration formalities was handled by Mr Majidi as usual and off we headed for the Dead Sea. Had buffet lunch at Amman Beach Resort at the Dead Sea. Since it was my second time at this sameplace, I just enjoyed the scenaries and the new developement surroundings while the rest went down to the beach and soaked their feet in the sea. I had done it before, so no big deal.

Lunch at Amman Resort.

By the Dead Sea.

Out from the Dead Sea and Amman, we hit the Jordanian Karak Highway towards Petra. We stopped at a Mosque in Mutah for solat jamak of zohor and asar. We were given a grand tour of Zayd Ibn Harithah and Jaafar Ibn Abi Talib Shrines located in the Mosque Complex. These two Muslim Warriors succumbed during the Battle of Mutah in 629 AD.

At Mutah Mosque.

We met a group of 1st year Malaysian students of Mutah University who came to visit the Shrines and meeting them was just like home. We also saw few Malaysian students in the Mosque understudying the Koran with the guidance of the Tahfiz.

Malaysian Students at Mutah University.

We proceeded for the Petra town and stopped for a break at Midway Castle. We also met three (3) Malaysians who were on the same destination. Finally we arrived at Petra town at 2100 hrs and checked into La Maison Hotel. All were dead tired of the long bus ride about 400 km in total from Jerusalem to Petra town. We hit the sack immediately after dinner.

Midway Castle.

20 Jan 2014: I came to Jordan this time mainly to see Petra and today was the day. After breakfast the entorage walked about 300 meters to the Petra complex main entrance. From the entrance, we walked about a kilometer downhill towards the narrow in between rocky hills at the mouth of Petra Complex. We walked another 800 meters in between the split rocky mountain. It was winding and cooling. Finally the magnificient Treasury Building of the Nabatean tribes was in sight. It was a fantastic monument carved out from the mountain and I wondered how the Nabateans did it. No woder, it is one of The Seven Wonders of the World. Mr Majidi was lecturing us about the history of Petra Complex simultaneously some of us were busy taking photographs. We walked another 500 meters downhill and more and more monuments in sight. A half day tour of Petra is definitely inadequate. Some says it take seven (7) days to cover all. Maybe, one day I will do it. The only thing I dislike Petra when there are so many children trying to peddle some things to you and disturb your concentration admiring the fantastic architectures.

From Petra Treasury , I took a horse carriage back to the Main entrance and it cost me 30 USD for two (2). It was a bumpy ride but I was too tired to walk anymore.

Had lunch, solat jamak of zohor and asar, we left La Maison Hotel. Few kilometers out of Petra town, we stopped at Wadi Musa or Ain Musa. A clear spring sprang from the bottom of the rock when Prophet Moses or Nabi Musa hit the rock with his walking stick. Maybe the same walking stick that divided the Red Sea. The crystal clear spring is still flowing till now. I drank and washed my face. Awet muda.

Ain Musa.

We broke journey at the same place at Midway Castle for tea. 

We were now heading for Amman Jordan. We passed through Jordan Main Prison Camp and I was astonished, capital punishment does not exist in Jordan. Life sentence is the worst to happen. First stopped at a Sovenir Outlet, then for Chinese six course dinner at Taipei Restaurant. For a change we had Tropical food and vege instead of the everday Meditranean cuisine. Nothing but brinjal and salads. Mr Bashar Anquor – General Manager of Adam Travel joined us for dinner.

After dinner, three (3) of us, parted company as we were not joining the group for umrah in Saudi Arabia. The rest headed for the Airport to fly off to Medina. Sad to say good bye. Mr Bashar was kind enough to checkin the three (3) of us at Ocean Hotel.

21 Jan 2014: Free day in Amman. After breakfast the three (3) leftover took the cab to the Royal King Hussein Mueseum of Cars. Unfortunately it was closed and the cab driver diverted us to City Mall for free. The Mall is similiar to any Mall in Malaysia and we just spent the time at a Cafe drinking Turkish coffee.

We skipped lunch as we had heavy breakfast. Bought some snacks for contingency in case we got hungry. Lazing away in the Hotel Room I kept on switching the 500 channels available from all Arabian nations in the Gulf. My best choice was from Lebanon.

At 1730 hrs, Mr Haitham Khazaleh picked us up and send us to Queen Alia Airport. It was rather early but Mr Haitham was also to check in a bus load of Malaysian pilgrims to Jeddah for umrah. We had light dinner at the Airport as Royal Jordan will be feeding us on the flight home.

At Queen Alia AirportAirport - ready for home.

At 2200 hrs, RJ counter was opened for checking in. There was a commotion and shoving at the checkin counter as a group of Nigerians destined for Lagos did not checkin as a group. Everybody in the group wanted to be be checked in earlier than the other. The other passengers checkin, destined for other flights were interrupted and temporarily delayed. They overtake queue like crazy. They must be the Villages Chieftans or Warlords in their country. I bet KLIA have a very much better system for group checkin. Never mind, Queen Alia Airport is only two (2) months old. Whatever, I like the system where only passengers are allowed into the Checkin Area, unlike KLIA.

22 Jan 2014: At the Departure Lounge I met Malaysians on transit from Saudi Arabia after performing their umrah. It was just like at KLIA Departure Lounge and the Malays really have plenty of money. I dont understand why they make so much noise when 20 sen petroleum subsidy been reduced.

At 0110 hrs we took off for Bangkok/KLIA vide Flight RJ 180. Moment it took off, I doze off and awakened somewhere above Andaman Sea. Arrived Bangkok at 1430 hrs local time and took off for KLIA an hour later.

Arrived KLIA at 1830 hrs. I smell nasi lemak and roti canai.  

     

Note:

To pray in Al Aqsa Mosque was one of the best things to happen in my life. I had been dreaming to visit the Mosque and by grace of Almighty Allah with good health and determination, all went well. I do believe, if you ask from Him, it shall be granted.

Insyallah (God permit), I shall return.
