Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is observed on Wednesday, June 17, 2024 One of two feast festivals celebrated by Muslims, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of the Islamic calendar’s last month, Dhu al-Hijjah.
Eid al-Adha falls within the annual pilgrimage to Mecca known as the Hajj. Determining the exact date of Eid al-Adha, is a point of contention and some wait for an official announcement from the authorities in Mecca.
Muslims celebrate the holiday to commemorate their belief in Abraham's willingness to follow God's command to sacrifice his son Ishmael, and Ishmael's consent to being sacrificed. Today, it is is marked by slaughtering animals to feed the poor. Coming at the end of the Hajj, a journey of dedication and purification, Eid al-Adha is understood as an opportunity for second chances.
According to the Quran, when Ishmael (known as Isma'el in Arabic) was 13, his father, Abraham (Ibrahim), began having inconceivable dreams in which God instructed him to sacrifice Ishmael (Quran Surah 37). Unbelievable as the dreams were, Abraham decided to follow Allah's instructions -- but not before asking Ishmael if he would agree to this. The son did not hesitate, showing ultimate submission to God's will by telling his father to go through with the sacrifice. Then, at the very moment that Abraham raised the knife, Allah tells him to stop -- they had passed the test -- and to replace Ishmael with a sacrificial ram. In the Quran, Abraham is rewarded for his faith with a second son, Isaac.
Muslims observe and prepare for Eid al-Adha in a number of ways. Before the festival, the faithful acquire new clothing and visit with family and friends. At dawn on the day of Eid, Muslims recite the traditional declaration of faith, the Takbir, followed by the pre-sunrise communal prayer, Salat al-Eid, which is also said on Eid al-Fitr. Worshipers then greet friends with the traditional Arabic salutation of Eid Mubarak (“Have a blessed Eid”) and exchange gifts.
In a symbolic act, Muslims who can afford it slaughter a cow, goat, sheep or camel, keeping a portion to feed themselves and distributing the rest to friends, family and the needy. Those who can't afford it, buy meat from a Halal butcher to distribute. Giving out this meat, in addition to the morning prayers, is considered an essential component of Eid al-Adha

What do you think? The same, better or worse?

THIS IS LEBANON ( this article was published in 1973)….. Do you think Lebanon is still the same?

A narrow coastal strip with a thousand indentations like welcoming arms, a fertile plain where man has left his mark from time immemorial; mountains with snow-capped peaks. Steles relating the passage of ancient conquerors; a six thousand year-old city BYBLOS, now known as Jbeil; thousands of columns, hundreds of temples built by Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans; relics left by Alexander; shades of Ahiram; the birth of the alphabet.

Cities with hundreds of sky-scrapers, but still clinging to their old souks, where the most modern conveniences and most traditional folklore rub shoulders and complement each other.

Busy hotels where the chef may come from Paris, the barman from Milan and the traveller from anywhere, night-clubs where the latest hut tunes are the rage; restaurants offering live lobsters caught off Nice, a casino with a show that rivals those at Las Vegas.

Beaches where water skiers can indulge in their favorite sport then slip off their wooden feet—only to put on similar ones less than an hour later as they ski in the snow-covered slopes.
This is Lebanon ; sunshine everyday, a smiling sea, a friendly people.

Lebanon “land of milk and honey” land of the gods but also—and above all—land of men.

Ten thousand square kilometers, 250 kilometers of coastline but what vast possibilities; how many are the pages of history that can be turned in a single day, how many visions of yesteryear to be discovered at every turning and along every path of the tour.

Leaving the capital Beirut you reach Jeita Grotto in half an hour, then Byblos and further north Tripoli. Higher still , always to the north, an unforgettable sight The Cedars.

The impressive ruins of Baalbek. Beiteddine a place with thousands arabesques. And, to the South, two cities with glorious past; Tyre and Sidon.
