“Hari Raya Haji (or also known as Festival of Sacrifice) is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims and Druze worldwide in commemoration of the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah. The devil tempted Ibrahim by saying he should disobey Allah and spare his son. As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah intervened: instead Allah provided a lamb as the sacrifice. This is why today all over the world Muslims who have the means to, sacrifice an animal, as a reminder of Ibrahim’s obedience to Allah. The meat is then shared out with family and friends, as well as the poorer members of the community (Islam names Ishmael as the son who was to be sacrificed, whereas the Judeo-Christian name Isaac)”
Hello world! =p
Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all muslim...
Every year, me and my family, we celebrate raya haji in SP or Penang. But this year, we decided (decided? It’s actually i HAVE to! Hiks) to celebrate here in KL.... cz PIL coming. Not happening beb. so, what i meant by not that 'happening' is because you don't get to celebrate in the 'kampung' environment with lots and lots of food on the table. The "North People" (like us, of course) :-) celebrated hari raya haji as happening as hari raya puasa. like alida said, "the only food that are not available during raya haji is the kuih raya." heheh.. btw, avvy, hopefully you tak leh balik ktan, jom raya dengan i di kl. btw, ada apa dengan KL time raya nih???
^_^
