Selamat Hari Raya Aldiladha / Hari Raya Haji 2009

I love raya. I love more is it’s kongsi raya or deepa raya. Syiok man!

I love being a Malaysian. U can get food from other ethnic groups for FREE. Free is not the thing, but the merryness and the happiness that shown in every festivals that matter. If you are in other countries, do you think you can just go into your friends or neighbours house and taste their food which are different from house. NO!! Malaysia is a lovely country lah. We don’t have to go to restaurant just to eat Chinese, Malay, Indian, Sikh, Mamak, Nyonya or some other ethnic groups food. We have open house. No open house also, people will still flock your house.

Kita Olang Malaisia ma.

They are willing to accept you to their celebrations, their festivals and their events.

Anyway..

What is Hari Raya Aidiladha or Hari Raya Haji.

Okla a brief description or explanation about this festival.

(("Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran.[1] Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba). Eid al-Adha annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja (ذو الحجة) of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid al-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan.))

Kalau nak tau more, go Google or ask ur Muslim friends la. ada Muslim friends kan?

This Raya is one of the biggest celebrations celebrated by the Muslims in the world. Kalau kat Malaysia, Hari Raya Aldilfitri yang meletup, Raya Haji taklah sangat. But in other Muslim countries, Hari Raya Haji yang paling meletup. Different countries different style lah.

This year Hari Raya Aildiladha falls on tomorrow, which is Friday. Woohooo. It’s public holiday. No school. Many people will balik kampung. The Southern Thailand people who work here also go back. so no Tom Yam or Nasi Goreng Kampung.

Kepada orang-orang yang suka tengok atau teringin nak tengok atau tak pernah tengok atau takde kerja lain nak buat atau nak kaypo atau nak rasa budaya orang Melayu, bolehla pi masjid-masjid utama yang berdekatan untuk ‘menyaksikan’ lemboo-lemboo, kambinggg-kambinggg dan kerbow-kerbow disembalih. Jangan lupa bawa camera n video camera. If tak ada, handphone pun jadila.

In this celebration, these animals will be sacrificed la. U can see la all those politikus politikus donate these animals untuk disembelih. Then these animals akandibahagi-bahagi dan disedekahkan.

So yang balik kampung tu, hati-hati ok. Bawa kereta hati-hati dan cermat. Naik bas kalau duduk baik-baik. If nk kencing, bagitau driver. Yang bawak motor, ingat baju hujan. Yang bawa basikal, jangan bawa tengah jalan kereta jalan tu bukan jalan moyang hang. Mulakan perjalanan anda dengan Bismillah, sudahkan dengan Alhamdullilah.

Bermaafan-maafan la. Let’s celebrate this joyous festival with sharing, forgiving and remembering the God. So a happy Hari Raya Aidiladha and Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all especially my Muslim friends whether you are from Malaysia, Thailand, or UK.

May God bless our multi-racial, multi-religious, multi-language and multi-cultural society.

muax muax muax.
