How I celebrate my eid al-adha

Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam. It honours the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God's command. Before Abraham could sacrifice his son, however, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead

I woke up to the sound and smell of mum cooking her special Ayam rendang tok (specially made for me, and took a bath. After Subuh prayer, I help her make sure the house is clean and the kuih raya are neatly arranged on the table. I also make sure all my siblings are up

My family put on our new dress and while some help my mum sets up the table. We celebrated Eid Adha this year not like other past years because cases of Covid-19 increased and cannot visit other people houses. The government encourage every Muslim to celebrate Eid Adha in their home to spread this pandemic.

 

My mom and I ate and ate and one of my brothers reminds us that we need to wait for my father and other brothers after prayed Eid Adha. So we need to stop eating, right now😂

Then the males go to the mosque for Solat Hari Raya (Eid Prayer) and takbir raya. The females can go to, but it was our family tradition that the womenfolk should stay at home. But in my family, I am the only girl who always goes to prayer every year in the mosque but I cannot pray because I got a period when I took a bath. I felt a little bit sad but it is okay

After the man came back, my mum and dad will sit on the sofa and we take turns to asked for their forgiveness from the oldest to the youngest. Most families will give duit Raya at this time to their children, but our family never did.

Then, we started video calls on google meets with my mom siblings. Some of my mum’s siblings with their families are already there on google meet. Then they start to recite Yassin and some dua. My mom asks me to present a video about Malek Family and show our memory together before Covid-19. Everyone in my family face looks missing each other and hope this pandemic willfully ending. After the end of the video call, my mom start crying and it touches my heart when I saw her tears, then I am trying to please her even though I felt what she felt when did not meet her family for 2 years.

                                        

We ate and ate and ate for the whole week. You really don’t want to offend these old people who had cooked so much and expected you to keep eating. I hate eid. I gained 3 kg in 4 days, imagine that. I am very lazy to exercise after that.

We only changed to a shirt and pants around 3 pm when it wasn’t usual for people to visit. There are still some who tried to stretch it of course, because do the ibadah qurban Last year, my parents were sick during eid so we didn’t go to some of our extended family houses and boy do they asked my mum if we were angry with them.

In short, I love eid because of all the delicious food, but this year is not the same as the other two past years, I have not meet a lot of people, trying to remember their names and who they are to us, I missed a lot to meet many people on Eid Adha and to do the qurban also being nice with others people, can help other people prepare food. I hope next year I can celebrate like 2 years past ago.

 

My Background and my story

             Hello everyone, Today, I'm more than happy with the way to tell about myself in public on the internet.My full name is Amirah Sakri. You can call me Mira because this is my favourite nickname😆in my whole life. I am 18 years old and I'm from Perak, Malaysia. I live in the middle of a busy city. I love listening to Nasyid songs and My hobbies are singing my favourite song every day, try something new, watch sad dramas, and spend time with my family in every free time in the home. There are six people in my family and have 4 siblings three brothers and I was the last sibling in my family. My birthday is on 25th February and you cannot forget to wish me on birthday okay😄

When my age reaches 7 years old I studied in Seri Al Ummah until 12 years old and I took the UPSR exam in primary school. Finally, after being a struggling study being a UPSR student my result is 3A 2B. Alhamdulillah I accept my result but I cannot study my dreams school in SMKA Kerian with my best friends and I'm really upset at that time😢 but I knew that Allah' plans are the best planner for me and finally I continue my study in Sabk Maahad Al-Imam Asy Syafiee Ipoh Jelapang from form 1 until form 5. I was an active student like join the netball competition, Kawad Kaki KRS and public speaking, Pantun competition. In secondary school, I learned a lot about being more matured and independent because I was given various positions from the school to be implemented in the hostel or at schools like a head of the hostel, school prefects and head of the association. I'm just proud of myself because I can learn Islamic subject and I love it. When I was in form 3 I took the PT3 exam and my academic achievement was not good did not get satisfied by my parents.

 I just achieve 4A 6B 2C 1D. After I got my result I was the person who did not eat, shower did not get a productive time in 3 days in my family because of my bad academic achievement I was very upset and I decided to start being more serious in learning because I want my parents being proud of me after raised me along time. I thought in form 3 I was a lazy student because I like to play and did not serious about learning. Lastly, after last year my old school. On form 5, I took the SPM exam and I can be proved to my family, cousin, friends that I did my best to get a good result in SPM. My result SPM was 8A 1D. Yay! Alhamdulillah Allah accept my dua even though my weak subject is English not get A However I need to accept my fate😌 But I am grateful to Allah because this result better from the two past year and I was able to go on stage got a special present for the first time from school.😁

       

            At 18 years old, after SPM I decided to continue my studies in STAM in the Islamic school girls in Ipoh, Perak Taayah. This is the best school ever because I have friendly and sporting friends and a lovely teacher💖 . For now, I'm struggling in form 6 because STAM is a little bit difficult for me because I learn 10 subjects in the Arabic language and MUET. After that, I hope I can further my studies at the university of my dream in UM. That all about me😄
