Eid Adha Dinner 2013

Eid Adha Dinner 2013 aims to highlight the true values of Eid including giving and sharing. The event successfully caters to the needs of the multinational students in Michigan State University such as Saudi Arabia, Libya, Turki, Somalia, Kazakhstan and Malaysia.

What is Eid Adha? Eid al-Adha is known and called as Feast of the Sacrifice, the Major Festival, the Greater Eid, Kurban Bayram (Turkish: Kurban Bayramı; Bosnian: kurban-bajram), or Eid e Qurban. It is the second of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year. It honors the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ishmael (Ismail) as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Abraham with a lamb to sacrifice instead [1].

As one of the organizer, we work together with the other 11 clubs to make sure the guests witness how Eid Adha were celebrated in our very own culture. We also want them to feel how magical and joyful for Muslims to celebrate Eid. There are a lot of performances such as dancing, singing and video presentation.

The event took place at McDonnel Hall, from 5.00 pm to 8.30 pm.

Guests that came showed the support for us to continue to entertain you, your families and friends of MSU! Surely, we will see you again next time!

Happy Eid Mubarak!
