Eid Mubarak!
Each year, in France, the Muslims celebrate the Eid el Kebir, the great celebration. Here, in Qatar, it is the Eid ul Adha, the sacrifice celebration. This is when the sheep is sacrificed, following the muslim rite and in memory of Abraham’s story, ready to sacrifice his son, and so, to submit himself to God.
Last evening, the muezzins called differently to the prayer and also early this morning. Three days are not worked and everyone is celebrating. It is also nearly time for the holidays, Christmas and the new year, shops and malls are decorated in this way…
Eid Mubarak and Happy Holidays!
