Selamat Hari Raya Haji!
Hari Raya Haji is also known as the Festival of the Sacrifice and there is a story behind this. Prophet Ibrahim is an important character in the Islamic religion. He was a righteous man and a strong believer in God. In order to test Ibrahim’s loyalty, God asked the prophet to offer his own son Ishmael as a sacrifice. Prophet Ibrahim followed God’s command and had propped his son up for the sacrifice when God intervened to tell him that he did not have to sacrifice his son. Instead, Ibrahim is said to have made another sacrifice. It is the commemoration of Ibrahim’s sacrifice which is celebrated as Hari Raya Haji.
