Untuk pertama kalinya dalam hidup saya, memperingati nuzulul Quran di negeri orang, Pakistan. Tepatnya dikota Karachi, tepat pada tanggal 31 Juli 2013. Seperti di Indonesia, di Karachi memperingati nuzulul Quran diawali dengan membaca Al-Quran dan ceramah keagamaan oleh ustad, kemudian sambutan dari Pak Konjen. Namun sebelumnya, saya dan beserta para tamu lainnya buka bersama, kemudian sholat magrib berjamaah. Moment seperti ini tentu baru pertama kali saya rasakan, ada perasaan senang, kagum, dan sedih. Sedih karena tidak bisa berkumpul dengan keluarga, namun juga begitu senang bisa ikut serta memperingati nuzulul Quran dengan WNI lainnya. Pak Konjen dan ibu sangat ramah dan menyambut hangat kedatangan saya. Saya seperti keluarga disana. Nuzulul Quran dihadiri oleh beberapa pelajar yang study di Karachi, staff dan WNI pastinya. Namun tidak sebanyak pertama kali saya datang ke KJRI untuk berbuka puasa, kira-kira hanya 20-30 orang saja. Walaupun begitu, suasana disana tetap hangat dan semua berbahagia termasuk saya. Mesjid di KJRI tidak sebesar di Indonesia, seperti musholla ukurannya, namun saya tetap menikmati tiap detik proses Nuzulul Quran. Di Pakistan, khususnya Karachi yang mayoritas Islam juga memperingati turunnya Kitab Suci Al-Quran, namun saya tidak mengetahui prosesi bagaimana yang mereka jalankan. Terlepas dari itu, saya di KJRI mendapat banyak kenalan mulai dari anak-anak, sepantaran saya, ibu-ibu hingga bapak-bapak disana. Singkat cerita, peringatan Nuzulul Quran diakhiri dengan bersalam-salaman dan berfoto bersama. Ini merupakan pengalaman hidup saya yang menambah variasi warna-warni perjalanan hidup saya. Saya bersyukur atas nikmat Allah SWT dan dukungan keluarga, teman-teman. Amin

Mazar-e-Quaid is a Beautiful Tomb in Karachi, Pakistan
Mazar-e-Quaid
is the precious place for Pakistan people because in this place is
the tomb of first president of Pakistan, named Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
This is the final resting place and the tomb of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad
Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan and is located in Karachi, Sindh,
Pakistan. This tomb is a symbol of the iconic symbol of Karachi and
Pakistan are famous throughout the world. When I went to this tomb, I
am very suprised because the building is very beautiful and all of
colour is white. I and another interns from Aiesec Karachi went to
the tomb and we taken many fhoto. Actually, we felt enjoy for visit
this place. I am tiffany, and I am from Indonesia, I should suggest
for every one who visit Karachi, must visiting this place. The view
in this place is also representative for a life and atmosfer in
Karachi especially. Many visitor from another country visit this
place. When you wanna go this place, you just need pay ticket about
20 rupees, it similar with $0.2. It is very cheap for visitors, and I
think all of people of course easy to come in this tomb. For me, it
is wonderful moment.
I
had seen many plant in the tomb and it makes the view is perfect. I
sure, everyone visit this place will get interest moment. When I
walked in arround tomb, I mean in front of the tomb, it was very hot
floor. Because all of people may not use sandals, it is a fom of
respect to the tomb. But, I am very enjoy and it is my first time
visit this place. Also I and another interns from other country done
it too. All of us was happy. I am not only visit tomb but also I
visit a museum. Museum is in bottom of tomb. If you wanna visit
museum, you need pay ticket too, it is not expensive. In the museum,
there are some goods relic from Muhammad Ali Jinnah. They are like
some car. any his clothes and the shoes. Then, in there, I looked a
his office room and also bed room. In there I looked many books that
read with Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The museum is very beautiful. But, in
the museum we may not take fhoto, it is forbidden and we are still
take fhoto, the security will give a reprimand for the visitors.
I
dont know certainly about the reason we may not take photo in the
museum, but maybe it is for protect the museum from bad condition.
Although, I can not take some photo in there, but I was happy and
enjoy, and Aiesecer always explained to us about the history of some
goods in museum. I think, the history is very great. So, my
experience visit the tomb of Muhammad Ali Jinnah is very wonderfull
and interesting. Karachi must be proud have a beautiful that tomb. I
am as foreingner is very like go there. The building and all of
things in the tomb is also makes the visitors amazed. This is a great
experience for me visit the tomb, and I can add my knowledge about
many history from Pakistan and also give a challenge to know Karachi
well from its museum, its founder, and another. Very nice to follow Summer Exchange 2013 in Karachi, Pakistan.
