The Hajj & Eid al-Adha

28Nov/098

Today is the 2^nd day of “Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى)” for the year 1430 according to the lunar ‘Islamic Hijri calender (Arabic: التقويم الهجرى)’ which coped with the year 2009 according to the ‘Georgian calender (Arabic: التقويم الميلادي)’.

Muslims performing Tawaf (circumambulating) the Kaaba at Masjid al-Haram Eid al-Adha falls at the 10^th day of ‘Dhu al-Hijja (Arabic: ذو الحجة)’ which is the 12^th month of the Islamic calender. It is significant for Muslims worldwide to celebrate commemoration of willingness of Prophet Ibrahim [Abraham (Arabic: إبراهيم)] to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail [Ishmael (Arabic: إسماعيل)], for the Almighty Allah [God (Arabic: الله)].

It lasts for 3 days at the end of “The Hajj (Arabic: الحج)”, which is the fifth pillar of Islam that annually takes place between 7^th - 13^th of Dhu al-Hijja. Couple of years ago, I wrote an article about Hajj that was published over I-MAG Magazine and here I am sharing it with you in those blessed days.

Finally, I want to place my greeting to Muslims everywhere and my prayers for a better world than what we see now, hopefully!

“Eid Mubarak (Happy Eid) | عيد أضحى مبارك وسعيد”
