There
are two big events in Islam. They are Eid al-Fitr and Ied Adha.
Ied fitri is the 1st Syawal day (one of the month in Arabic Calendar) and it is after Ramadhan where
every Muslim fasts for 30 days. In this day, all of Muslim in the world come
back for being a holy person after taking out side tithe that is given for one
of eight class, such as poor people, very poor people, muallaf (someone who are new to Islam,
gharim
(someone who have many debt), etc.
They forgive each other, no revenge in
their feeling, visit each other whether their family or their friends. Usually
in this day, they make many kinds of foods, drinks and cakes. Such as, Soup,
Ketupat (rice cake boiled in a rhombus- shaped packet of plaited young coconut
leaves), Apam and rice tape. Also, in that day they pray Ied Fitri in field or
Masque. Having breakfast is better for
them to do before going to pray Ied Fitri. There is no sadness in their face. They are happy to welcome a day
full of forgiveness, the day when they be a holy person.
The second event is Ied Adha. The days are 10th , 11th,
12th, and 13th of Zulhijjah days, the day coincide with the
Standing at Arafat
(Muslims who go to Mecca). Also, in this day they go to field or masque to Pray
Ied Adha but better for them for not taking breakfast before going to pray Ied
Adha. In that day, many cows and buffalos are slaughtered, we named it as Kurban. This day is also called as Ied Kurban.
The meat of these cows and buffalos will be distributed to the poor people. No sorrow on this
day, everybody in happiness. At two these feasts, all the
families of relatives who live
far away come and
gather together. Both are really a
blessing days.
