The next two days will be filled with socializing, good foods and presents for Muslims countrywide. The three-day Muslim holiday of Eid-ul-Adha began yesterday. Muslims around the world will celebrate the story of Abraham or Ibrahim and his willingness to fully submit to God. The holiday is both religious and a fun-filled time. Muslims throughout the world honour Abraham by sacrificing their own animals- usually a bull, lamb or a sheep. Most people choose to have it done through a butcher rather than undertaking the task themselves. They may also carry the animal for the sacrifice to be done at a Masjid. In a story that appears in both the Quran and the Bible, Abraham is commanded by God to kill his son. Muslims believe the intended victim was Ishmael; Jews and Christians believe it was Isaac. Either way, Abraham is about to do the ghastly deed when God offers him a ram to sacrifice instead. Traditionally, the sacrifice evolves into an act of charity. It is customary for Muslims to give one-third of the meat to the poor and one-third to friends and family, and to keep one-third. Mohamed Mujay, a member of the McDoom Jamaat, said that they slaughtered about 16 animals (cows) and distributed the meat to the villagers. He explained that whatever meat is left, it will be distributed to the members of the Masjid. (KAIETEUR NEWS/PHOTO: KAIETEUR NEWS)…[+]
