We celebrated Eid-ul-Adha today. It is recommended that we do not have breakfast first before the 'Eid prayers and be early at the mosque particularly at our place. Izhar drove us (me and Izzuddin; our eldest was down with flu and was advised to rest) to Masjid Hussain at 7.35 am. We can see many people (mostly immigrant workers, I think) already walking towards the mosque. While we were quite early, the main prayer hall was already filling up quickly and 15 minutes later, it was packed.
The 'Eid prayers started at around 8.25 am after the Imam reminded us how to perform the prayers since it is only done twice a year (the other one is during Eid-ul Fitri). After the prayers, the 'Eid sermon was given and thereafter we went home to have our breakfast.
We took a group photo after breakfast. Not included the picture is Izhar who took the photo and Ihsan who had to work during 'Eid this time.
We did not go anywhere today and simply stayed home. We were also waiting for our autogate repairman to come as the gate wheels were not functioning properly.
Note added: It is a bit worrying that there are now plans for a mischievious administrative takeover of Al-Aqsa mosque. It will sure caused an uproar in the Muslim world. You can listen about the plans here.
