Eid’l Adha

BREAKING MY HEART NEWS:

November 27 and 28 (Eid’l Adha Holidays) as initially declared as Special Holiday by Malacañang through Presidential Proclamation No. 1808, will only be celebrated as a Regional Holiday in Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) as amended by Proclamation No. 1808-A. Thus, the following dates will be treated as regular working days for all offices operating outside of the ARMM.

Guess i will just use my Birthday LEAVE on the 27th! ;)

What is Eid’l Adha?

Muslims celebrate Eid’l Adha. Eid’l Adha is celebrated yearly to mark the end of Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca (the holy place), to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim act of sacrificing his son. The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. At least once in a Muslims lifetime, those who can afford to make the trip are obligated to go on Hajj.. Thousands of Filipino muslims go on pilgrimage to Mecca each year. Before a Muslim goes on pilgrimage, he/she should cleanse himself or herself by making amends for wrongs committed.
