Aidil Adha Greetings


To all my Muslim Friends and Readers,


( Eid-ul-Adha or Hari Raya Aidil Adha is also known as Hari Raya Qurban. The Qurban is a ritual performed after the completion of the Haj. This is to remember Prophet Ibrahim's obedience to sacrifice his eldest son, Ismail when Allah commanded him to do so as a test of his commitment to his faith. At the last moment, Allah replaced a ram in place of Ismail.The Haj is the pilgrimage to Mecca, is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world. It is the fifth pillar of Islam, an obligation that must be carried out by every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so, at least once in their lifetime ).
