Na NELSON DAFE dey yan

Wednesday, June 28, 2023 na special day for Muslims across di world as na day of Eid el Adha wey Muslims dey sacrifice animals.

Dis sacrifice na for dem to fit gain reward from Allah.

Dhul Hijja (Islamic month) na one sacred month in Islam, wey Muslims perform di Ḥajj (Holy Pilgrimage) as well as observe di Festival of Sacrifice.

To celebrate the day di Federal goment of Nigeria declare Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 June as public holidays to mark 2023 Eid el Kabir.

Already many Muslims don already buy dia sheep, cattle, goat or camel in preparation for di ‘big day’ despite many odas for Nigeria dey complain of harsh economy wey no allow dem buy dis year.

“So for Muslims slaughtering animals especially ram wey carry more reward compared to oda animals dey very important.”

Di imam say anoda thing be say make Muslims share dia meat and food with di needy instead of eating alone.

Di difference between Eid-el-Fitr and Eid-el-Kabir

For non-Muslims e dey a bit confusing say Muslims dey celebrate two Sallahs or Eids in one year and dem dey always ask about di difference.

Di normal question dem ask na ‘shey na dis one dem dey cut or kill ram? before dia Muslims friends go begin explain.

So, di difference between di two Eids be say Eid el Fitr na afta di Ramadan fasting to pray and celebrate after a month of fasting.

Most pipo no dey kill ram for dat one, na mostly chickens and oda birds dey hear am.

While Eid el Kabir wey be di one wey dey come in di next nine days na im be ‘ram sallah’ as some dey call am.

And dis one na about upholding di tradition wey prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) start and wanting to get reward from God.
