Malaysian celebrates Eid al-Adha today on the 26 of October
2012. The holiday starts today but many Malaysian takes leave from yesterday to
celebrate the festive with their family and friends in their home town. As for
our workers they started their festive holiday yesterday (Thursday) until
Sunday. Just now they call my husband to ask permission to go to Kuala Lumpur,
the city that became a popular destination for foreign workers during public
holiday in Malaysia.
Eid al-Adha is a festival of scarification where Muslim sacrifices
their livestocks. One third of the meat must be given to the poor and two third of the meat can be given to neighbours and friend. It's also to remember and commemorate the trials and triumphs
of the prophet Ibrahim who was willing to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail, to
God. This festival also marks the end of Hajj in Mecca. May Allah bless us and
our families, except the Hajj and sacrifices
of all Muslims. Aminnn....
