Eid Mubarak

Technorati tags: Greetings, Eid, Eid ul Adha, Mecca, Pilgrimage

Walski takes this opportunity to wish all Muslim readers Eid Mubarak - Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha.

For those of you who have family members performing the Hajj this time around, Walski hope that they successfully perform the pilgrimage, and more importantly return home to Malaysia safely.

Walski also hopes that the rest of this year's Hajj will carry on without any tragic events, such as stampedes, which happen from time to time, due to the large mass of pilgrims, estimated this year to be around 3 million in total.

The observance of Hajj, one of the 5 pillars of Islam, and the rituals performed, by and large are in rememberance of Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismael for the sake of God.
