me and my bro went to masjid alkaff for the morning eid prayers...the takbir was just hairaising as usual....to my surprise 9 goats has died before the slaughtering process even begin....maybe due to H1N1 or to sum goat illness...OR maybe they were too afraid to be slaughtered so they commited suicide....ok lame! but the slaughtered goats are guaranteed a place in heaven, but for me? nt certain yet :-(
Also, there were lots of people sia....wonder why eid many people pray when its NOT A MUST but friday prayers little sia when its A MUST..haiyo
we then headed to nani's house and had a feast-yummy2 my burp still taste like rendang....we rested a while and then headed to the cemetery to visit our deceased family members...i really miss them, they had a huge impact to my life. it made me realised how short life is....there were cemeteries as far as my eyes could see......may allah bless their souls...then headed to the mosque for friday prayers
we then headed for mami's house and we chatted and all and mamimila's family came along and i met abg aidil/azhar and Q!!!like finally uh. (who kept boasting bout her new IPHONE, lol) ...damn fun sia...thats y they say nothing beats family....
thats a summary for today.....damn tiring but fun...reached home bout 6.30pm....
AND FOR NON MUSLIMS:At the time of sacrifice, Ibrahim discovered a sheep died instead of Ismail(his son), whom he hacked through neck. When Ibrahim was fully prepared to complete the sacrifice, Allah revealed to him that his "sacrifice" had already been fulfilled. Ibrahim had shown that his love for his Lord superseded all others: that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dear to him in order to submit to God. Muslims commemorate this superior act of sacrifice during Eid al-Adha.(hari raja haji)
Muslims are expected to dress in their finest clothing to perform Eid prayer in a large congregation in an open area or mosque. Muslims who can afford to do so sacrifice their best domestic animals (usually sheep, but also camels, cows and goats) as a symbol of Ibrahim's sacrifice. The sacrificed animals, have to meet certain age and quality standards or else the animal is considered an unacceptable sacrifice.
The regular charitable practices of the Muslim community are demonstrated during Eid al-Adha by the concerted effort to see that no impoverished person is left without sacrificial food during these days.
Distributing meat among people is considered an essential part of the festival during this period, as well as chanting Takbir out loud before the Eid prayer on the first day and after prayers through out the four days of Eid.
