Eid ul-Adha

Naz —

Asalam Walikum

I know its a bit early but hey what the heck.

Every Eid mum always buys everyone clothes (even if you dont want them or need them she doesnt take no for an answer). Dad use to give us money but now he says im too old which is ok with me coz it means the lil ones get more.

This Eid i was thinking about giving Eid presents to my family. I have never bothered before but this Eid im thinking why not (i must be getting soft in my old age). While i can easily shop for the little ones (they are never picky about what they want and get) i find shopping for older siblings really hard.

Does anyone else give presents? If so what do you buy?

I was thinking about giving money to the older ones but i think its just really impersonal, like you couldnt be bothered.

Jazakallah x

I've long gotten over this issue - here in London, my family follows the main 'saudi' mosques, whilst the rest of my family further up north follow the 'brelvi' mosques....all it now means for me is that I celebrate it on Wednesday, Thursday and even Friday with the selected few friends of mine who do it then...

The men usually get into a debate regarding when they should read their Eid prayer, whilst for me it just means getting dressed up and celebrating for three day days instead of one.

when is the mq idara doing eid?

we're fasting tomorrow and eid prayer will be most likely preformed on thursday, ah well. we'll have our own mini eid partay at home tmz.

Not entirely sure Sis. Havent started the phonecalls yet. But they usually always do it with a couple of mosques in my area who have announced they're doing it on Thursday.

is anyone else feeling this spiritual buzz, solely because it is the day of arafat? feels special.

who else is fasting today even though you're doing eid on thursday?

oh yeah, don't forget to recite the takbeerat-e-etashriq after every fardh salah!

Mohammed Zeb — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 - 14:05

why are you doing eid on thursday isnt it supposed the day of arafat which is on tuesday?

unless i'm mistaken, i think that 7 people can share a qurbani of a cow and 12 people can share a camel.

Naz — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 - 17:29

^^^ oh right didnt know that. Has anyone ever tried camel? If you have how does it taste?

Seraphim — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 - 18:50

lol Omrow still makes me laugh.

We're actually doing the same. We're sacrificing a cow too.

Camel meat tends to be.... hhmm... well stringy. If you know what i mean.

Decide to give everyone their Eid pressies about an hour (lil ones have school in the morning). They all got a Eid hug and a smooch which probs wasn’t the best of ideas as i have a cold but hey i didnt see them complaining. Anyway they all liked their pressies which is a big relief.

Here is little poem for everyone to bare in mind when celebrating Eid

ur present 4 Eid
