🕌 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗥𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗷𝗶 - Significance & difference from Hari Raya Puasa✨
Hari Raya Haji (means “great day of the haj” in Malay), also known as Aidiladha (alternatively spelt as Eid al-Adha or Eid Adha) or the Great Day of Sacrifice, is a Muslim festival that falls on the 10th day of Zulhijjah (the 12th month in the Islamic calendar).
In Singapore, Hari Raya Haji falls on 17 Jun this year!

Hari Raya Haji, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
According to the story found in the Quran, Allah one day commanded Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as a test of his obedience. Just as Ibrahim was about to carry out this command, Allah intervened to stop him and allowed for the sacrifice of a sheep in place of his son. Ibrahim’s exemplary act of sacrifice and obedience to Allah is commemorated during Hari Raya Haji through the ritual of korban, which involves the sacrificial offering of livestock.
Hari Raya Haji is also celebrated to mark the Muslim pilgrimage known as the haj. According to the fifth pillar of Islam, all able-bodied Muslims who can afford to do so are obliged to undertake this pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. The haj retraces the journey of Prophet Muhammad’s pilgrimage to Mecca and must be undertaken during Zulhijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar.

On Hari Raya Haji, Muslims don their finest attire, gather in mosques for congregational prayers before carrying out the sacred 'korban' ritual. The meat is then shared among contributors, loved ones, and those in need.
This festival highlights compassion, generosity, and spiritual fulfillment. Social visits and shared meals further strengthen community bonds.❤️

The ‘great day of pilgrimage to Mecca’ -Hari Raya Haji and the ‘great day of fasting’ -Hari Raya Puasa, are two separate days that are often confused as one.
𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘪 𝘙𝘢𝘺𝘢 𝘗𝘶𝘢𝘴𝘢
In Malay, 'Hari Raya' means ‘day of celebration’, while 'Puasa' means ‘fasting’. Hari Raya Puasa actually marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. It is also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Eid-Al-Fitr.
The festival is a celebration of victory in completing the fast and overcoming personal struggles during the Ramadan. It is also a time of forgiveness and reconciliation within the Muslim community and a time for strengthening of bonds among relatives and friends.
On Hari Raya Puasa, Muslims typically start their day by visiting the mosque for a special prayer before visiting their parents and elders to seek forgiveness and express gratitude. After that, they visit their neighbours, friends, and other relatives to share joy and happiness, feast on delicious food, while dressed in their best traditional outfits! Families usually dress in the same colour to represent unity. ♡
This year, Hari Raya Puasa was celebrated on 10 April 2024.
