Dearest Everyone
Thanx for all your wonderful greetings.
Wishing YOU a very Happy HAJJ- E-AKBAR + EID MUBARIK.
Remember to tie up your goats or cows securely before qurbani,
as they can already see the qasai's knife shining before their eyes,
and are bleating loudly and kicking viciously .
( Our street is ringing with their noise from dawn till dusk ).
Enjoy all those kababs, pulaos, barbecues, and biryanis....
But don't forget to buy that bottle of digestive mixture.
Best love and duas from Shahida, Iqbal, Muiz & Amr.

Amr Quadir
Eid ul-Adha (Arabic), or Eid-e Qurban (Persian), occurs on the tenth day of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijja. It is one of two Eid festivals that Muslims celebrate. Eid ul-Adha is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael for God. Like Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha also begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuá¹ba). It is celebrated on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja of the lunar Islamic calendar, after Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
This happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan. Eid ul-Adha is three days long starting the day after the pilgrims in hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca by Muslims world wide) descend from mount Arafat. Traditions and Practices Men, women, and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing and perform prayer (Salat) in any Masjid or mosque.
Muslims who can afford to do so sacrifice their best domestic animals (usually sheep, but also camels, cows, and goats) as a symbol of Ibrahim's sacrifice. The sacrificed animals, called "Qurban", have to meet certain age and quality standards or else the animal is considered an unacceptable sacrifice.
At the time of sacrifice, Allah's name is recited along with the offering statement and a supplication as Prophet Muhammad said. The meat then is equally distributed among the sacrificer's family, friends, relatives, and the poor and hungry. The regular charitable practices of the Muslim community are demonstrated during Eid ul-Adha by the concerted effort to see that no impoverished Muslim is left without sacrificial food during these days.
Coming immediately after the annual hajj ends with the celebration of the Day of Mount Arafat (commemorating when Prophet Muhammad pronounced the final seal on the religion of Islam by appointing Ali ibnay Abutalib as his successor after him), Eid ul-Adha is a concrete affirmation of what the Muslim community ethic means in practice.
People in these days are expected to visit their relations, starting with their parents, then their families and friends. (Arabic audio with English meaning). In the name of Allah And Allah is the greatest O Allah, indeed this is from you and for you Allah accept from me. Eating and sharing the meat is considered an element of worship during this period, as well as chanting Takbir out loud in public, see about Takbir in "Traditions and practices" of Eid ul-Fitr.
