Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha


This very important Muslim holiday is celebrated at the end of Hajj, which is an annual pilgrimage to Mecca. The ‘Festival of Sacrifice’ is followed by a ‘Feast of Sacrifice’, which pays homage to the prophet Ibrahim AS unselfish act of sacrificing his son, prophet Ismail AS to Allah SWT. In turn, Allah SWT spared the prophet Ismail's life and instead substituted a sheep. Now in remembrance, people sacrifice a lamb, goat, or other animal, and give the meat to family, friends, relatives, and most importantly, the poor.


Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha from Yus and family.
