Our 1st Qurban, Eid Mubarak!

Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Laa illaha illa Allah. Allahu Akbar. Allahu akbar wa lillah hilhamd....

After my hubby performing Eid prayer in the nearest mosque, we got a trip to the farm to get the sheep and then butchered there as well. One day before, my hubby had already ordered the sheep, so that when we got there yesterday we just needed to wait not so long.

This Eid is so special as this is the first time we perform this qurban together. Alhamdulillah that God gives us this chance. Hope by doing this we can live our life better and get closer to Him. And be more meaningful. InsyAllah.

We went to the farm at about 1 pm. We had a nice little trip. The view outside the window was so beautiful. I enjoyed so much. MasyAllah. Mostly green of the grass and other plants. Many trees which the leaves had been fallen. There were beautiful houses very European, not so luxurious, but so beautiful as I always saw just on films before.

Reaching the farm then, many people there. Mostly moslems who performed qurban as well. The view was also so nice. The road was silent and cold. So nice and unforgetable.

I just waited in the car, silent...thanking God. Two hours. Then my hubby finished. He got the butchered sheep in the car. And we went to parents' home to drop it. Like that here, we butcher ourseves, then cut it in pieces ourselves, then share it to the others. Not yet cooked yesterday, maybe today, InsyAllah.

I hope this qurban will be barakah. Ameen.

Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Laa illa ha illa Allah. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar wa lillah hilhamd....


The pic was taken few minutes before the sheep being butchered, he was in the middle. Hope it is full of barakah. Ameen.
