Eid Ul Adha is a Muslim festival that basically marks the
end of Hajj or Pilgrimage to Makkah. This Eid is also
known as the Eid of sacrifice, and it basically commemorates the faith of Abraham and devotion to Allah. According to the Belief of the Muslims, Allah asked Abraham to sacrifice his son for Allah’s sake, and even though he was a good man and loved his son very much, his devotion and faith to God was so strong that he did not hesitate to take this bold step and agreed to sacrifice his son (Huda, 2011). The willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son for the sake of Allah caused Allah to spare his son’s life, and therefore a lamb was sacrificed in his place. This was a miracle of Allah and it proved that he has command over all things and the known and the unknown. It is because of this holy incident in the History of Islam that the Muslims now celebrate Eid ul Adha every year to earn Allah’s blessings and forgiveness.
Eid ul Adha is a sacred Muslim event that is celebrated
every year around the world with sacrifice, prayer and food.
Taking a vacation can do wonders for you and your family. In
addition to this, a quick getaway can give you a much-needed break from the demands of work and school, a vacation can be a special chance for the members of your family to bond together. So the eid vacation and eid days are one of the essential days to be celebrated with family and friends. As soon as my University was closed, and the vacation started, the essence of eid fiiled the days as it passed. The family members who lives abroad or away from us, all came at our place to celebrate together. The preparation for Eid day was at its peak. Shopping began, with new dress, shoes and other new accessories to be worn myself and to gift the other members of the family for this festival. Being the only' young' man of my family-- all the hassles were over me ofcourse. But seeing the smile out of joy of my parents, siblings, gandparents, cousins, aunties and uncles -- the pain vanishes at a glance. Life can be so much beautiful and peaceful with these small precious things. Now comes the most difficult part yet the most enjoyable part of Eid Ul Adha, and that is, buying a bull for sacrifice. The hut was so crowded with people and animals.
Allah has given us power over animals and allowed us
to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.
