Let's do it

Dear readers, let's perform Solat Sunat Dhuha everyday.
It is so powerful.

Qurban 1433

This was last year's (here).

This year is my husband's turn to perform Qurban for Aidiladha. Alhamdulillah. It went well. One nice ustaz brought a few extra goats from his goat farm to the mosque for those who wish to perform qurban this year but didnt manage to book the animal in advance. We went to a few farms and they were out of stock. We kinda frustrated at first but we didnt stop looking.

Luckily we found this ustaz. And he still have plenty of it. My husband bought one.

This was the day before, when we went to the mosque to choose the qurban (bare in mind, I was still sick from the raw oyster poisoning). We chose this one. 

On THE DAY, the kids accompanied their papa's qurban until the moment it was sacrificed. (Did you see Nabil with the camera?)

Then, my FIL did the hard part with my BIL. Only after that, me and my hubby joined in and finished the work (did you see Nazreen with the camera? - we have a plenty of photographers that day) After Zuhur, we went out and distribute the qurban to relatives, neighbours and the unfortunates. 

I am glad that I could involved despite the terrible sickness. Let's save some money and perform qurban next year!!!! InsyaAllah.

Qurban 1432

Alhamdulillah. I manage to perform Qurban this year. One goat was all I can afford for the moment but it means a lot.

...The act of Qurban (Sacrifice) is carried out by millions of Muslims every year during Eid Al-Adha following the example of the father of Prophets, Ibrahim (AS).

Allah (SWT) says in the Quran: "It is neither their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah, it is your piety that reaches Him". (Al Qur'an, Ch:22 v:37)

The prophet Muhammad PBUH was asked "What is Qurban?", He answered, "It is the sunnah of your father Ibrahim (AS), for every hair of the Qurban you will receive a reward from Allah and for every hair in the wool you will receive a reward". (Hadith - Ibn Maja and Tirmidhi)....

When it first arrived (we have someone else to slaughter and skinned it first), we (me, my husband, my brother and my dad) spent a couple of minutes STARING at the flesh, thinking where to start. 

Then, we looked at each other and "You go first", "No, you go first", "How to do it?", "I think we better watch Youtube first", "Oh, I heard the telephone rang" (flee inside the house - NO, it actually doesnt rang) and "I am going to call up my friends to help". They involved in qurban at the mosque every year, but to do everything on their own for the first time, it kinda funny.

see??? Where to start?

Everything went well. My brother grilled some on the spot and later we distributed the rest to relative, friends and neighbours.

So guys, let's save some money and perform qurban next year!
