Your Big Day: Aqiqah

Aqiqah literally means cut and this word is often used for the hair of a new born baby that is cut or shaved. Prophet Muhammad pbuh and his companions used to perform aqiqah when they were bestowed with a new born. It was narrated in Sahih Bukhari, that the Prophet ( Peace be upon him ) said :

" With a ghulam ( young boy ) his aqiqah, then pour on his behalf blood and remove from him all that is offensive."


One week before aqiqah
We had a little problem with the goat because we didn’t find any yet. So I tried call up my old friend, Kak Long asking for it. And Thank God and thanks to Kak Long also we had the goat for aqiqah.

Two days before aqiqah
Now Tok Ba, Bapak, Ayah Wan and Pak Su Pa had a little problem with the goat. They have to feed him every day so that he would look handsome on his big day to heaven (err…he sure goes to heaven right?)

The big day
It was definitely a fiesta! There were so many people came to your big day and luckily we had two goats for the jamuan. We were celebrating two celebrations in one day-second day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri and your aqiqah. You are such a little limelight to everyone. You really knew how to be a center of attraction. You just slept all day long but still people keep on giving you duit raya. Haha, nice act little miss!

Everyone was really enjoying this very day. And it shows in these photos! Thank you all! Enjoy!

Can you spot the goat? Guess, who was the goat bestfriend?
