Festivals and celebrations around the world

Tell us about national or religious celebrations in your country :D

 

In my country and all muslim world, we'll celebrate Eid-ul-Adha ('festival of Sacrifice') in this month, also known as the Greater Eid, is the second most important festival in the Muslim calendar.

 

It celebrates the occasion when Allah appeared to Ibrahim in a dream and asked him to sacrifice his son Isma'il as an act of obedience to God.

 

The devil tempted Ibrahim by saying he should disobey Allah and spare his son. As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead.

 

<em>Note:</em> <em>This story is also found in the Jewish Torah and the Christian Old Testament (Genesis 22). Here God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, his son with Sarah. Isma’il was his son with Hagar.</em>

 

Today Muslims all over the world who can afford it , sacrifice a sheep (sometimes a goat) as a reminder of Ibrahim's obedience to Allah. In Britain, the animal has to be killed at a slaughterhouse.

 

They share out the meat among family, friends and the poor, who each get a third share.

 

Eid usually starts with Muslims going to the Mosque for prayers, dressed in their best clothes, and thanking Allah for all the blessings they have received.

It is also a time when they visit family and friends as well as offering presents.

 

At Eid it is obligatory to give a set amount of money to charity to be used to help poor people buy new clothes and food so they too can celebrate.

 

I can't wait to know about festivals and celebrations in your countries :)

La paz ♥ ¿Me pregunto por qué las personas están siendo tan crueles? ¿Se sienten felices cuando matan al pueblo y dejan huérfanos a los niños? ¿Y para qué los matan? ¿Para quedarse con sus tierras ? ¿No saben que al final morirán y luego dejarán todo y serán enterrados en tan solo un metro de todas esas tierras? ¿Por qué no nos dejamos de las guerras y tratamos de difundir la paz en todo el mundo? Solo si hacen eso, obtendrán todas las tierras y viviremos en un mundo grande, en un mundo pacífico. ♥

Arabic cultures and Traditions

What do you know about Arabic cultures and traditions ?

A note for Arabic learners :) An Arabic learner told me that I'm being very strict when correcting Arabic entries. Well, maybe I am, but it's because the Arabic language is very precise. As an Arabic student at a university - and a future teacher in'sha'Allah - I can't be too permessive, especially with intermediate learners. Knowing their mistakes will help them better understand grammatical structures and master their use. Have a look at the picture below: 6 words are made up of the same letters, but the diacritical marks had completely changed the meaning.
