Hari Raya Korban 2008

Today, in the Islamic calender is the 10th of Zulhijjah, the celebration of Aidil Adha. Also known to us as Hari Raya Haji & Hari Raya Korban. My family as usual celebrated it in Klang with my PILs. Like Aidil Fitri (you can read here), after the prayer & breakfast we would normally make a move to my grandmother's house in Rembau. Not this year though. We chose to stay as to witness the korban (sacrifice) at their place.

For my non-Muslim readers, I googled for the meaning of Aidil Adha & came across this good article by The Star. You can read here.

Though it was raining from early morning, everything went smooth just as planned. Alhamdulillah... It was not the first time that my elder girls witnessed such rite. However, then they were too small to understand. This time not only that they saw it but also lent a helping hand.

Yasmin & Wardah in their creatively made disposable apron. Thanks Aunty Adik.

HB at work.

They were briefed on what to do.

Once the meat weighed, they were to transfer in into the plastic bags.

Good work girls...

As Wardah put it, "Mama the meat was so soft...". Hahaha! Surprisingly, neither of them complained of the smell.

The meat was then distributed to the poor in the village & later that evening we helped ourselves to Sup Tulang.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha.
