Salaams all.
Belated Eid Mubarak. Hope you all had a smashing day.
Unfortunately, where I live, fitna reared it's ugly head and people did Eid on different days. One of my close friends did it on a different day to me and is no longer talking to me because he believes everyone who did it on a different day is not worthy of knowing! Such a shame. What we need right now is unity, not girly catfights inside the Masjid of all places. I think I mentioned on another post that punches were thrown between the 2 sides!!!
Anyway, my little nephew went to the shop with his brother where they had slaughtered animals which were being cut into smaller pieces. He ran home crying his eyes out saying there were loads of big chickens with blood all over them. Love him. He thought the cows/lambs were big chickens.
Can I ask a bit of a thick question. Muslims believe in Ibraheem and Ismail. What are their Christian equivalents? I know Ibraheem is Abraham, but who is Ismail in their faith? I'm thinking of taking loads of cakes/buns/cookies etc when I return to work to celebrate Eid with them. Hopefully I can show them not all Muslims are mooses (they all seem to think ISIS/IS is what Muslims really are) and we are actually a peaceful religion. I know for a fact they will ask me more about Eid so I was hoping to relate it to the Bible. I am sure the story is in there too isn't it?
