I hope you all are doing fine. Actually this is my first post in this community as i was unaware of the fact that we southeast people also have a general community to post. As many of you guys know that today was a big day for all the Muslims over the world. Actually it was the big Eid among the two Eids we Muslim celebrate in a year. This Eid is named as Eid-ul-adha (pronounced as Eid-ul-azha).
Let's start the story of first day
I got up early in the morning because we have to offer the Eid prayer early in the morning and after that the rest of the things start. So it was announced a day before that eid namaz will be offered at 8:00 AM. I got up at around 7:00 am and took shower. My wearables were ready as i made them ready last night so i just wore everything (i always get excited to wear new clothes and shoes).
I reached there around 7:30 and saw that people were collecting funds for the masjid. Actually there is a thing that on both Eids they do collect funds from people as a large number of people come to masjid for Eid prayer. The fund is later on used for the development of mosque (masjid). Coming on the point, we offered the prayer at 8:00 am and after that it was the time to perform the main ritual of the Eid.
As i reached the home i saw the butchers were already there with all the equipments to perform the ritual. I brought the goats from where they were before, towards home. The butcher by turns performed the act and then we were having the meat and cutting them into small pieces.
As the meat was in front of us, now we decided to put it on fire. I mean to cook the meat and have our breakfast (the only day we eat only meat as a breakfast). So we simply put it in a large steel bowl and wait for it to cook completely. Then it is time for the real magic to happen, do your guys want me to show you the magic? Ok let's go
Ok ok! Lemme become dora the explorer for you 😜 the meat went inside my belly and i galloped it all. But it happened so fast that i was even in a doubt if i ate the whole. So i went for another plate, hehe.
As everything for the morning was done so it was time to have some fun. I took my buddy with me and we had a good photography session. Then we went for the sweets which were delivered to our home from relatives who paid us a visit on this very special occasion [(especially gulab jamun, my fav)but don't tell my mum about that].
There is also a ritual of getting Eidi from our elders which i tried but this time my Eidi was not up to the mark, like the target which i set wasn't achieved so i will skip that part to keep my mood fresh. So i did some outing with my buddy and when it was evening time then again it was time to do something exciting.
This is also the most exciting part of eid for me as BBQ is one of my favourite meal. I came home and saw that marinated meat, observed that it is fine to be made BBQ of now. I set-up everything (my other family members also helped me in that).
As you can see the BBQ is going on (sorry for the blurry or foggy image as there is a lot of smoke) and here i am sitting writing this blog for you people (i asked my brother to sit for a while on the hot seat) and now it is my turn again. So good bye from my side.
Well, that's all from my side.
GOODLUCK AND BEST WISHES 👌
