The Official Eidul Adha Thread.

[Endymion]

I think its time to start this thread,No

Actually im too much into goats and Cows so i decided not to ruin the pets thread and start a new thread to share the memories of Eidul Adha

You and your animals are
You can talk about your animals you have on this Eid and also you can share the memories of previous Eids.If anyone like,share the pics of your animal here.So here we go,let me start.

Guess what We have Raheel Khan with us

Its the Qurban from my Father.All white,having light brown spots on its head and its legs,shy,quiet and it has a small beard as well

My Father bought it on Saturday and just after a day,he got cold and flu My father brought a vet for him and he suggest some medicines for Raheel Khan which my Father picked from the Medical store and then we had to makke him ate them
It was truly a hard job as we never face anything like that before My Father dissolve them in a glass of water and ask me to pour the medicine in its mouth while he will try to open his mouth [Man,i never knew that one day i'll have to do this job for goats and before that,i only had expirience with my nasty bro's

So,we tried our best on him.My father tried and tried to open Raheel's mouth but he oppose strongly then,my father mount on him [not riding actually,it was just to control him ] and opened his mouth and after 3 attempts,we succeeded pouring half medicine on its mouth and half on floor
But unfortunately,Raheel Khan is still not stable :'( please pray for him to get speedy recovery



With this,we have something exciting in our lane.Its a huge Red,angry bull that just arrive yesterday in our lane :awesome:
As they put it down from the van,angry handsome tried to escape but wow to the man who was handling it,he did'nt let him run.They tie it with the poll and still the angry red creature trying to escape and keep on moving here and there angirly shaking his big head and tring to hit those who wants to be frank.What a sensational addition,i love it

Also,the owner,who is our right hand neighbor and a lean Uncle with God knows how many sons keeping a distance of 10 feet from the angry red thing.I wonder how come they handle it for 7 more days

Ok,its enough for now,i'll post the updates about Raheel Khan,Angry man and will share the memories of our previous Qurbaan's.

Your turn

Ours is really cute, white with a black patch on its head. My brother is having a hard time running behind him: D

[.iman.]

Aww Endy, I love your story! inshAllah Raheel Khan will be healthy in time for Aid. I wish I had stories of Aid, but this is my second Aid (last year I had converted only a few days beforehand) and I don't have any family to celebrate with, it will just be another day around here at least I have IB forum to celebrate on!

[Haya emaan]

we haven't bought the animal yet.. but thats not the sad part.. sad part is we will not have its stay at our home...

Dearest Sister Iman

Mashallah you are one of those people who are in the real spirit of Eidul Adha.The spirit of Sacrifice.Actually,majority of us just enjoy this Eid as a fun fair and hardly remind ourselves the great and heart warming story of sacrifice of the Noble family of Ibraheem AS.He AS left his family in the deserts of Makkah just to get the pleasure of Allah SWt and his wife did'nt even said a word of complain and helped her husband in his noble intention.She left there with the infant Ismaeel AS and ran between the mountains in search of water.She faced all those hardships of living in desert with her kid just for the sake of Allah SWT.And in the end,they even present their beloved son Ismaeel in the way of Allah SWT who was only 12 years old that time when His Noble father took him to sacrifice him.
And look at the mercy and love of Allah SWT,The One who is Al-Shakoor (The most Appriciative).He SWT appriciate the struggle of this noble family in a way that will be rememberd till the world exists.He SWT make it obligatory for every Muslim to perform hajj and see all that and expirience all those difficulties their selves.The struggle of Hajra RA is an obligatory part of Hajj and All Hujjaj's will run between the mountains of Safa and Marwa till the world end to remember the hardships and Sabr of Hajra RA.Safa and Marwa are actually the signs of a woman's sabr and Allah SWT raised her to such a high rank and appriciate it in such an amazing way.

Sabr is indeed very difficult,my dear sister but the reward is never ending.Allah SWT never spoil the deeds of noble people.Inshallah,Allah SWT will bless you with all that pleases you and will raise you high in ranks.Indeed,we all Muslims are your Brothers and Sisters and we are your family.I wish i was near you and give you a tight hug and make some Eid dishes for you but dont you worry,i'll post pics of my cow and goat and the Eid dishes for you and you will fell like you are with us all

And above all that,Allah SWT is with you and His help and Mercy is near you.May He SWT ease all your affairs and open all the doors of goodness for you.Amen.

Updates about Raheel Khan

Ok,i have a good news for all who are worried about Raheel

The medicines did'nt work that good but thanks to our maid who is a village woman,she advice us to give him a tree leaves to eat (which i dunno what to call in English) and after having them,Raheel is feeling much better :alright:
Also,she told my mom about a village tip.She said that we have to tie a red ribbon on Raheel's tail Now i dont know is that color therapy or what but again,im here to do this job (Man i dont love animals THIS much :enough!: )

we haven't bought the animal yet.. but thats not the sad part.. sad part is we will not have its stay at our home...

Whaaa.... This is just unbearable

[Haya emaan]

[Innocent Soul]

^ A camel should be at least 5 years old to be sacrificed.

[Endymion]

We just have cows and goats and Bulls around us No Camel at all

Last night people were riding their animals and i saw a bull,all white and had a yellow spot on its back that looks great.I told my mom that they have the true "Baqarah" and she told me that they actually made it with Henna


Nice put Innocent,i did'nt know that

[Haya emaan]
