YAY! – we have 4 Day Weekend for Eid Al Adha

For those of you that are interested in finding out more about Eid Al Adha the following is a very brief description of the meaning and history of Eid Al Adha.

 

Eid Al Adha is the The feast of Sacrifice.  This feast commemorates the Prophet Abraham’s obedience to Allah by being prepared to sacrifice his only son Ishmael but instead was able to sacrifice a ram (by God’s command).

 

In traditional or agrarian settings, each family would sacrifice a domestic animal, such as a cow, sheep, goat, or camel, by slaughter. The meat would then be divided into three equal parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbours, and the other third is given to the poor & needy.

 

Eid al-Adha begins with a Wajib prayer of two Raka’ah followed by a sermon (khuṭbah).

 

The word “Eid” appears in Sura al-Mai’da (“The Table Spread,” Chapter 5) of the Qur’an, meaning ‘solemn festival’

 

Eid al-Adha is celebrated annually on the 10th day of the 12th and the last Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah (ذو الحجة) of the lunar Islamic calendar. Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. The date is approximately 70 days (2 Months & 10 days) after the end of the month of Ramadan, i.e. Eid-ul-Fitr.  Ritual observance of the holiday lasts until sunset of the 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah.

 

A four-day festival that completes the rites of pilgrimage and takes place during Dhul Hijjah (the last Islamic month)

Finally! My old Philippine passport has been…. processed

I can’t say “renewed”, but I was able to finally finish the renewal process and now awaiting for the new machine readable Philippine passport.

They say in the receipt that it will take 10-12weeks, that’s 2-3months. But it’s ok.

I am going to write again my experience soon. Just a quick one, I arrived at 8am and got to desk #1 within 15minutes (8th person in queue. I will also write how – later. :)

There was a short commotion in room #2 (encoding area) because one man tried to take a video of the whole room! Which of course angered the personnel there – you know why? – because there were 3 workstations, yet only 1 has a staff attending to it. :)

I’m dying to write my account of it, but I’m just stuck with another task right now so that’s just it for the moment ;)
