Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha, Feast of Sacrifice, is a festival in my religion. In lots of sources it is said that existed by the Prophet Ibrahim. He had not got any child. He prays to God for a child and promised to sacrifice it for the name of God. Than God endow him a son, Ishak. While he is preparing him to sacrifice, God sent him a ram to sacrifice it instead of his son in the arms of an angel.

We celebrate it every year. It has three main reasons according to our religion. First of them is sharing the meat with poor people. So social solidarity increases. Second is seeing the flowing blood as a kind of anger satifaction. Because human likes seeing blood as a result of creation. Last reason is remembering the death.

In my opinion, it is very very meaningful and beneficial.

Halloween

According to some sources  Halloween is the mixture of feast from both Pagan and Christian civilizations. Firstly, existed in Pagan Celtic Civilization, then influenced by Christian Romans. And today including ours, a lot of civilizations celebrates this event.

I think it is stupit that celebrating the pagan-christian feast as a Muslim. Some people claims that such feasts have benefits and positive effects on economy.But it is not the money I want to earn by imitating the other religions.
