Qurban ritual 2008M/1429H

Almost 3 million people perform the Haj this year 1429H including a few hundred from Brunei Darussalam. Despite the global financial crisis, Muslim communities around the world have answered the call to perform the haj pilgrimage to the holy land Mekah. “Don’t be afraid if it that is what Allah commands, it’s our obligation to perform it “ HM The Sultan said in His Majesty Hariraya Aidiladha titah.

Muslim are encouraged to perform the Qurban ritual on Hariraya Aidil Adha. According to the monarch the slaughtered meat should be distributed according to the Islamic teaching. While it is allowed to distribute to the rich, the priority should be given to those who are less fortunate.


I had a chance to witness the process of Qurban right from catching the buffalo, memayuk kaki kerbau hingga rebah , then slaughtering. This is the next process; menyisi daging.


You need an expert to do the process. Otherwise you cut the unnecessary part. This is the stomoch. Don't puncture it to ovoid the dung spreading into the meat part.


It looks easy but manually you need at least one hour and half to cut and weigh the meat before distribution.


After a day hard job. Everybody enjoy the food. You want soup tulang, rendang, curry, daging bakar. Its you own choice. After that you check your blood pressure and chelestrol !
