Eid ul Adha (Holiday)
The holiday I choose is a Islamic holiday called Eid al adha. Eid al adha is very well known around the world. Eid al Adha means festival of sacrifice. Eid al adha marks the completion of the annual Hajj, the pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. During the festival of Eid al adha, all Muslims celebrate Ibrahim’s trial by slaughtering an animal such as cow, sheep, camel, or goat. Eid al-Fitr is holiday that follows the month of Ramadan. The three-day Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr, celebrates the end of Ramadan, the Muslims holy month during which individuals fast from sunrise to sunset. Eid al-Adha is very important holiday to Muslims like Christian is to Charismas.
Islam all over the world celebrates only two big holidays which are Eid al Adha and Eid al Fitr. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Muslims year in the month of fasting. It is one of the most important months in the Islamic calendar because it was during Ramadan that the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). Also the first battle between the idol worshippers of Mecca and the Muslims of Medina took place during this month. When fasting, Muslims are required to eat or drink nothing, including water, while the sun shines. Fasting is one of the five pillars or duties of Islam. It is compulsory for all Muslims over the age of twelve to fast during Ramadan. Fasting is the duty for every adult Muslim, but there are some exceptions. Elderly, sick, pregnant women, nursing mothers, travelers do not have to fast but they must fast at a convenient time later on. The fast begins at dawn and ends at sunset, throughout the month of Ramadan. During this time, eating, drinking, smoking and having sex are strictly forbidden. During Ramadan, the meal called Suhar is recommended to be taken before dawn because it provides nourishment for the rest of the day. After Suhar, everyone prepares again for morning prayer, worshipping either in the mosque or at home. Muslims go to
