This is the most important celebration in Islam. It takes place on the tenth day of the twelfth and last month (Eid ul-Hijjah) of the Islamic.
Eid ul-Adha celebrates the occasion when Abraham (Ibrahim) was willing to sacrifice his son to show his obedience to God (Allah). Muslims all around the world will celebrate this day, although it has particular significance for pilgrims who at this time will be completing a pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca (Makkah). The day begins with a sacrifice of an animal in commemoration of Abraham's sacrifce of a lamb in place of his son. One-third of the meat is given to the poor, and the rest shared by family and friends.
This year, we had our Korban Hari Raya Haji on the 20th December 2007. It was so much fun, from morning all to the evening. Everyone enjoyed themselves while showing tremendous amount of teamwork and coordination to ensure smooth operations.
