Oh, I lowve
that filum .
"Akhtar de umbarak sha!" as we say in Pukhtu.
And "Eidi ni umbarak hoviya!" as we say in Hindko.
And I'm not quite sure what the Urdu-speakers say. Probably something simple and formal like, "
Eid mubarak!"
Oh, wait, that's Arabic. =)
Can't say it any better than I did
last year :
May we accept the challenges that come our way with just as much fortitude and patience and willingness for personal sacrifice as that displayed by the prophet Abraham. May this Eid, as well as the upcoming New Year, be a beautiful and blessed time for you and yours. Amen to that.
Rock on, rockstars!

This is SOOO cute!
who made it?
Eid Mubarak to you too darling. few years
back I heard few aunties saying "Happy
Eid" to each others. I didn't say
anything except turned my face away and tried
to hide my bubbling laughter.

ayesha me love,
the hell are you doing up so late?
(is it blasphemous to say 'hell' on a photo
related to eid? ;))
so. my halaqa was asked to organize this
project last week for the sunday school kids
at the masjid - a re-enactment of something
we started up last year - where we guided
them through each step of the hajj. it was
really fun and creative and moving to see and
experience (for us and the teachers and the
parents; the kids just thought it was cool
and fun). i have tons of photos; shall have
to share some on here so you all can see how
we set it up.
dude, little kids in white ihram are suuuuuuper adorablicious!
oh, so my point. we had some fun
arts&crafts activities for the kids to
busy themselves with while each class waited
its turn to go through the hajj enactment.
this little sheep cutout + clothespins +
cottonballs deal was one of them, and this
particular one was made by one of the halaqa
girls, who giggled her way through the entire
thing and then made me laugh by saying,
"okay, time to zabihah the sheep now!" and pretending to cut
off its head with a scissor.
afterward, she put her little lamb in the
shoes-cubbyhole, along with her flip-flops,
and i stalked it long enough to grab some
photos.
PS: i'm not a fan of eating lamb at all.
HAPPY EID, CRACKSTAR!

Off topic, but lately, whenever I tell
someone I'm vegetarian, they always ask me if
I've seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Sheesh.

I love that movie! every child in the family
was named Nick or Nickie and the way Tula's
mother and her aunt make her dad think it is
'his idea' to send Tula to college was
priceless :)
On Eid-ul-Azha in Karachi, kids uses to
take their animals out for a walk around the
block and used to parade them around and
dress goats in artificial jewelry and henna
and all sorts of bells they could get their
hands on.
But sheeps, I never really saw cute,
innocent looking sheep like you see over here
in the US. What I saw was perhaps the Sir Mixalot breed of sheep called "Turki sheep " (Afghani Sheep or "MaiNdhay"
in local language) and they were kinda funny
lookin' :)

haha - it's so cute =)
i grew up in umreeka so this whole concept
of being friends with the goat you're about
to sacrifice and eat is SOO strange to me! i
was talking about that with someone, and they
understood but also pointed this out to me --
prophet Ibrahim (ra) was willing to sacrifice
his son , so when you make friends with the goat to
be qurbani'd, that's like tiny portion of the
level of of sacrifice he was willing to do.
either way.. Eid mubarak hun, hope you had
a beautiful one. and i hope you have a long
weekend ahead of you!

mix-a-lot' sheep reference hella made me

animals 'round here.
anjum,

it like that! thanks for pointing that out,
buddy. that's some great food for thought.
