‘Id Mubarak!
Well, it is ‘Id-ul-Adha (festival of the sacrifice) today.
It’s kind of bitter sweet because we were supposed to be making Hajj this year (and basically this is what Hajj commemorates).
But anywayz, I did kurbani this year for the first time!!! Since this is the eid that commemorates the sacrifice, not only does one do sacrifice if one makes Hajj but also if one is able, one makes sacrifice at home too.
Well this year in our Jamaat we have no animal sacrificing (first time I can remember) so we bought shares in Guyana. Generally when you have a share, you take a third for you, a third for friends and a third for the poor. Well, our share in Guyana will go all for the poor. Thank goodness! Because i don’t want to listen to people making me eat beef because it’s kurbani and calling me hindu because i don’t really like beef; i mean, how would you like to be called muslim if you don’t eat pork?? I mean, it doesn’t have to be beef, does it? It can be lamb! I eat that!
So…today is December 31st…
