Koriteh – Celebration of the End of Ramadan

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Del wrote from The Gambia, “Lisa – today is also the Muslim celebration of Koriteh – after the Ramadan fast. So people here too are very happy.”

I read that kids go around to houses asking for “salibo” (sweets or money) just like the western Halloween.

Happy Koriteh!

The Muslim Festival Eid al-Adha – Festival of Sacrifice – is Celebrated Today

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

This year Eid al-Adha (a holiday that’s also known as Eid Kbir) is held on the 18th to the 20th around the Muslim world. It’s a festival celebrating Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for Allah.

Everyone dresses up and goes to the mosque to perform the Eid prayer. Families that can afford it will also sacrifice an animal such as a sheep. Most of the meat of the sacrificed animal should go to the poor. The rest can be used for a feast for family and friends.

The End of the Hajj – Eid ul-Adha: January 10-13, 2006

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Eid ul-Adha is celebrated by Muslims and marks the end of the Hajj. The Hajj is when Muslims make a pilgrimage to Makkah (originally Mecca) in Saudi Arabia. The pilgrims visit a shrine said to be built by Ibrahim and his son Isma’il as requested by God.

Eid-ul-Adha takes place on the 10th day of the last month on the Islamic calendar. It’s a public holiday and can last from 1 to 3 days.

Eid ul-Adha means Sacrifice Celebration or Feast. It celebrates Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his own son for God. The legend is that God appeared to Ibrahim in a dream asking him to sacrifice his son Isma’il as a show of obedience. The devil tempted Ibrahim not to make the sacrifice, but Ibrahim stayed loyal to God. At the last minute, God appeared to Ibrahim and told him he could sacrifice a lamb instead of his son.

In honor of Ibrahim’s sacrifice, Muslims who can afford it, sacrifice a sheep or goat on Eid ul-Adha. They then share the meat with their family, friends, and with the poor. People are supposed to dress in their nicest clothes for this holiday. They go to the mosque to pray. They visit friends and family and give gifts. They’re also expected to give donations to the poor.

Eid Mubarak can be said for most Islamic holidays, meaning “Have a blessed holiday”.

Happy Eid ul-Adha!
