RAYA AIDILADHA!!!

Aidiladha is also commonly known as Hari Raya Korban or Hari Raya Haji in Malaysia. 

Celebrated about two months after Hari Raya Aidilfitri, on the 10th day of Zulhijjah, the 12th (last) month of the Muslim calendar, it marks the end of the haj pilgrimage period (about two weeks). 

Every year, millions of Muslims make the journey to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to perform the haj, one of the five basic tenets of Islam. Aidiladha also commemorates the sacrifices made by the Prophet Ibrahim (hence the word 'korban,' which means sacrifice in Arabic), who demonstrated immense faith when he was put to the test by god.

During Aidiladha, the sacrifice of four-legged animals such as lambs, goats, cows, bulls and camels is performed.The slaughter of the animal is done after the congregational prayer in the morning of Aidiladha. The animals are killed in accordance with the proper religious rites and the meat is then distributed.Making the sacrifice (korban) is not a compulsory religious duty, but an obligations for those who are able to afford it.-Sarah-
