Eid Al Adha `Korban'

Eid Al Adha comes again, and this time the whole family wanted to do something different. We pledged to do the sacrifice of a whole cow representing all 7 of us in the family. However, it is not easy to make a booking in Selangor, but Alhamdulillah we got the opportunity to do the sacrifice in Kedah.

This is the very first time that I witness how the processes of the sacrifice is done. The person who sold the cow to us has to do an `akad’ with hubby on the sales and purchase, then the Imam did another `akad’ with hubby for the slaughtering of the cow and mentioning our 7 names. It was something new to me; I never knew that such process have to take place before the actual sacrifice is done.

The Kampung folks were marvelous people, full of hospitality and commitment. We felt indebted to them, in accepting us and going all the way to make our short stay at the Kampung as comfortable as possible.

Thank you Lord for making this sacrifice a smooth one.
