Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى‎ ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a Muslim Holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.

Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran.[1] (Muslims who belong to the Shi'ite branch of Islam celebrate a third Eid.) Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba).

Eid al-Adha annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja (ذو الحجة) of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid al-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan.

Eid ul-Fitr

Eid ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr‎), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break fast"; and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated after the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal.

Eid ul-Fitr lasts for three days of celebration and is sometimes also known as the "Smaller Eid" (Arabic: العيد الصغير al-‘īdu ṣ-ṣaghīr‎) as compared to the Eid ul-Adha that lasts four days and is called the "Greater Eid" (Arabic: العيد الكبير al-‘īdu l-kabīr‎).

Muslims are commanded by the Quran to complete their fast on the last day of Ramadan and then recite the Takbir all throughout the period of

FASTING

Fasting is primarily the act of willingly abstaining from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time. A fast may be total or partial concerning that from which one fasts, and may be prolonged or intermittent as to the period of fasting. Fasting practices may preclude sexual activity as well as food, in addition to refraining from eating certain types or groups of foods; for example, one might refrain from eating meat. A complete fast in its traditional definition is abstinence of all food and liquids

In a medical context fasting may refer to (1) the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight, (2) to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal, or (3) an unusually extended period of starvation. Several metabolic adjustments occur during fasting, and many medical diagnostic tests are standardized for fasting conditions. For most ordinary diagnostic purposes a person is assumed to be fasting after 8–12 hours. Many of the metabolic shifts of fasting begin as absorption of a meal is complete (typically 3–5 hours after a meal); "post-absorptive state" is synonymous with this usage, in contrast to the "post-prandial" state of ongoing digestion. A diagnostic fast refers to prolonged fasting (from 8–72 hours depending on age) conducted under medical observation for investigation of a problem, usually hypoglycemia. Finally, extended fasting has been recommended as therapy for various conditions by physicians of most cultures, throughout history, from ancient to modern.

RICE

Most of Indonesians eat rice as their daily meals every day. People were thought to be growing it around 5000years ago. It needs a lot water to grow. In many countries it is the main or staple food. In Asia about25 million small farms grow it. 5,000liters of water are needed to produce 1 kg of it. There are more than 140,000 varieties of it. It is good for you as it is a good source of thiamin, iron, phosphorus, potassium and folic acid. Indonesians love it, averaging more than 200 kg per head each year compared to the average European who eats 5 kg. Hundreds of millions of the poor spend half to three fourths of their incomes on it. Malaysia is ready to import it from Indonesia if the Indonesia government decides to export the staple. There are an average of 36,590 grains of it in a kilogram and 1,829,500 grains in a 50 kg bag. And did you know that it was first grown commercially in Australia in Murrumbidgee area of New South Wales in 1924.

Every part of the rice plant is used!

The straw (jerami) is used as fuel, as bedding for animals, can be made into rope, handicrafts, shoes, toys paper and even bricks.

The grain (bulir) is cooked and eaten every day. It is also made into crackers, cereals, flour, and milk, processed into feed for animals, cosmetics and fermented into wine, beer and vinegar.

The bran (dedak/katul) is boiled for oil to make soap and cosmetics and added to foods for fiber and nutrition. It is also fed to fishes and chickens.

The hulls (kulit gabah/brambut) are used as packing material to protect delicate cargo, packed around ice as insulation and burned in simple stoves.

Ash (abu) from the hulls is sometimes used to clean teeth, and turned into cellulose products such as rayon and rice fuel.

Everyone eats bubur when they are sick but did you know it is used for other illnesses too? Drinking the water of boiled rice is often used to treat patient with diarrhea. Cooled boiled rice is mashed into a paste and applied to swellings and skin blemishes. And did you know RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation- the best method to recover from most sports injures. What would we do without rice?

How Does Someone Become a Muslim?

Simply by saying with conviction, “Asyhadu alLa ilaha illa Allah, wa asyhadu anna Muhammadur rasoolu Allah,” one converts to Islam and becomes a Muslim. This saying means “I testify, there is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and I testify, Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.” The first part, “There is no true god but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son. To be a Muslim, one should also:

-Believe that the Holy Quran is the literal word of God, revealed by Him.

-Believe that the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) is true and will come, as God promised in the Quran.

-Accept Islam as his or her religion.

-Not worship anything nor anyone except God.

The Prophet Muhammad said: {God is more joyful at the repentance of someone when he turns to Him in repentance than one of you would be if he were riding his camel in the wilderness, and it runs away from him, carrying his food and drink, so that he loses all hope of getting it back. He comes to a tree and lies down in its shade (awaiting death), for he has lost all hope of finding his camel. Then, while he is in that state (of desperation), suddenly it is there before him! So he seizes its halter and cries out from the depth of his joy, “O God, You are my servant and I am Your Lord!” His mistake comes from the intensity of his joy.}
