The Feast of Sacrifice


Aidiladha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, is celebrated throughout the Muslim world on the 10th of Zulhijjah (the twelfth month in the Islamic calendar). It's most important feature is the sacrifice of an animal (like cow, goat or sheep) in commemoration of the ram sacrificed by Prophet Ibrahim in place of his son. The fulfilment of this noble command signifies his faith in Allah. So, we are all obliged to offer a sacrifice on this day in which the meat is shared with family, friends, neighbours, the poor and the needy. This happy occasion also marks the end of the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage, to Mekah. This also means we get to visit each other's home and eat festive meals! Happy Aidiladha to all.. may the grace and blessings of Allah be with you always.. Have a good one this year! :)

Love,
Aida, Ikmal & Teddy
