What is the meaning of Eid Al-Adha for me...

Well, there will be only 2 days left for Mosleems to celebrate Eid AlAdha..Some of my friends said that,Eid-Adha was celebrated in just  ordinary condition compared to Eid Al-Fitri which is celebrated in very merrier way.

Despite of that, Eid Al-Adha is very important to me as a Mosleem.I still remember,when i was young, after retured back from Eid Al-Adha prayer, i used to follow my father to see the villagers slaughtering the cows..Usually in my village, they use cow not the goat..  At first,i was very scared and pity to see this event especially when the knife was put near to the neck of the cow.However,my father said, if i felt pity to the cow, i cannot eat it..So, to avoid the sense of pity towards the cows, i just closed my eyes and just pretend that i did'nt feel anything to them.

Eid Al-Adha which also known as the festival of sacrifice is a festival that brought the history of Prophet Ibrahim and also his son,Prophet Ismail.It started was when Allah S.W.T asked Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his beloved son,Prophet Ismail.At first,Prophet Ibrahim was very sad and feel hard to do it but after he has been persuaded by his son to obey Allah command,he brought his son to one place to slaughter him.On their way to go to the place,Allah told them that He only want to test the faith of both Prophets and lastly,He rewarded them with a very healthy and big sheep.

From that moment,Eid Al-Adha was celebrated annually by Mosleem on 10 Zulhijjah.
