19th FEBRUARY 2019 ~ I was invited to an Aqiqah ceremony at the house of ex-students of SMK Taman Universiti. The ceremony was held for the two babies, first the baby (aged 6 months) of Puan Nurul Nazihah Ismail who is married to her schoolmate, Mr. Hussin Abu Hassan [both from SPM batch 2009], and also the baby of Dr. Muhammad Nur Harith Ismail [SPM batch 2005] who is just 8 days' old.
"Aqiqah is the Islamic tradition of the sacrifice of an animal on the occasion of a child's birth. It is widely performed by Muslims and it is considered sunnah to slaughter a sheep for the baby and distribute the meat to the poor. Muslims also prepare a feast for family and friends in celebration for being blessed with a child." [sourde: Wikipedia]
I am also no stranger to the parents and the whole family used to visit me during Eid celebration.
I should thank them for their kind thought to invite me. Guess there will be similar events like this in the future to attend.
