mission accomplished@....FIRST ever successful experience



The sacrifice was laid down in the slaughtering chamber by tying all his four legs at the chamber’s shaft. Kids were excitingly curious with the procedure. My friend, Hj Bahrain and other volunteers were already on ‘top’ of the cow’s body while others were holding firmly all the legs, etc. It was my first experience slaughtering a big handsome cow as part of the ritual – ‘ibadah korban’ once a year during Eid ul Adha.


After reciting the prayer seeking blessing from the Most Compassionate and Merciful, while Hj Bahrain exerting his fullest power forced down the abdominal part of the sacrifice, I placed the knife or long dagger (belong to Ustaz Hj Mohammad) at the neckline. A bit nervous though! I talked and motivated to my inner self to proceed – in the name of Allah swt and ‘sunnah’ Rasullullah saw (peace be upon him)

Seconds after all the people reciting the ‘takbir’ & ‘Tahmid’ - Allahu Akbar..Allah hu Akbar… Allah hu Akbar, La illah haillallah hu wallah hu akbar……..(Allah is great…, and there is no god except the almighty Allah swt…) the razor sharp dagger slit through the leather skin of our sacrifice. Alhamdullillah...

May Allah swt accept our prayer, ‘ibadah’ and sacrifices. Allah hu Akbar..wallillah hil Hamd..
