Beware if your hajj is just a physical matter. However, Mustapa assumed that the meaning of hajj was not only the hajj ritual physically but also the inner-side of feeling (alaming rasa). In addition to the storm in the sea, the pilgrims found other difficulties in the Holy Land. It shows that hajj in the colonial period was very difficult. The paper uses an intertextual approach with an analysis of social history and Sufism. Mustapa told about the hajj journey route, his experiences of suffering, and he also provided an interpretation of inner meaning of hajj according to the Sufi perspective. One of his hajj stories was Kinanti Munggah Haji. He is one greatest Sundanese poets as he wrote more than 10 thousand cantos on Sufism from 1900-1902. The author of the dangding was Haji Hasan Mustapa (1852-1930). It was expressed in the form of Sundanese metrical verse which was called dangding or guguritan. The paper discusses a Sundanese story of hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca during the Dutch colonial period.
