4 The Idul Adha


IDUL ADHA

1. The History And Meaning Of Idul Adha

Idul adha is a big celebration day of Muslim and usually after Idul Fitri. Usually in Idul Adha, we sacrifice the cow or goat because in the last time it has history about Nabi Ibrahim. Nabi Ibrahim has a son, and his name is Ismail. One night nabi Ibrahim was dreaming, and in his dream, Allah commanded Nabi Ibrahim to sacrifice the son, and Ismail sincere to following the command. And than Allah change with a big sheep before Nabi Ibrahim sacrificed the son, because Allah knew how high the love to Allah. So, Idul Adha has meaning to closed themselves to Allah and sense of sincerity to receive the test from Allah SWT. And usually Idul Adha, the people change the sheep with cow or goat for sacrifice

2. Process Of Idul Adha

The process of Idul Adha, we went to the mosque for pray. After pray we listened the religious discourse. After praying in Idul Adha, usually has a process of sacrifice the cow or goat. The Ta’mirul (Ta’mirul means the organized of mosque) is sacrificed the cow or goat, and the Ta’mirul will be divided the some meat to poor people.

3. After Process

After we pray in the mosque, we back to the home and visited in other family, neighbors, and friends to forgive each other mistakes while we shake hand to keep the friendship. Beside it we eat the cake or eat meat together with our family, neighbors, friends etc.

  1. Thanks so much for writing about Idul Adha. I think it's great that the Ta'mirul share the meat with poor people. Also it is nice to take time to forgive mistakes, that is very important. I think the U.S. should have a forgiveness holiday!
