EID MUBARAK! TO ALL


Recommended Posts

At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), we celebrate Eid Ul-Adha. This means 'Festival of Sacrifice'.

Basically it is when we commemorate prophet Ibrahim willing to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with an animal to sacrifice instead. If you fo a quick search you can find the full detailed story on this topic. Anyway, the meat is divided into three parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbours, and the other third is given to the poor and needy.

Here in England we will typically send money to a 3rd world country to buy an animal, which will then be sacrificed and will feed the poor.

Any more questions, just ask. I'd live to attempt a good answer (to the best of my knowledge).

Eid Mubarak means Happy Eid.

It's a bit silly, we ALL wish that we had Eid on the same day. It's just one of those things though, nothing we can do. :lol:

Some mosques think they should do it on the same day as Saudi Arabia, so basically Saudi celebrate according to the sighting of the moon over there, and we do it on the same day as them. However others think they should follow the closest Muslim country (Morocco), or even the sighting of the moon in their own country so will have it the day after.
