Update: Manchester Christmas Market 2010

Salam MancherS!!=)

No Mancunian winter is complete without a wander through the chalet-lined streets of Manchester's famous Christmas market.

The perfect place to get your evening started, pick up some fabulous Christmas gifts, or relax after a hard day's Christmas shopping, the markets really have become a very firm fixture of everybody's yuletide countdown

The array of stalls is mind-boggling, with mouth-watering delicacies from all over Europe. Try sweet and savoury treats from Dutch mini pancakes and Hungarian goulash to Spanish paella and French profiteroles. Relax with a hot chocolate. Soak up the atmosphere of a truly international event with a uniquely Mancunian flavour.

European and local producers offer everything from fine amber jewellery, handcrafted leather bags, and top quality bonsais trees, to Dutch cheeses, French breads, and Spanish chorizo. Perfect for alternative gift ideas, enjoy the banter and advice of stallholders from all over the continent.

Update: Hari Raya AidilAdha!

Salam and Hello everyone!

takbir! Allahu Akhbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akhbar!

Alhamdulilah, It's the time of the year we celebrating Hari Raya again! but this time It's Hari Raya AidilAdha. Some called it 'Raya Korban', 'Hari Raya Haji" and some just call it "Free-meat giving day".

INFO: Aidiladha also commemorates the sacrifices made by the prophet Abraham (hence the word "korban" which means sacrifice), who demonstrated immense faith when he was put to the test by God. The prophet was commanded to offer his only son Ishmael up for sacrifice, and though it grieved him greatly, he made ready to perform the task. However, as he was about to strike his son, God stopped him and revealed that it was a trial. Ishmael's life was spared, and a ram sacrificed in his place.

As such, during Aidiladha, the sacrifice of animals such as lambs, goats, cows, bulls and camels is performed. The animals are slain in accordance with the proper religious rites; the meat is then distributed; hence for the "free-meat giving day" name!

One third of the meat is given to the individual who willingly supplied the animal, while the rest is given to the poor and deserving friends and relatives. It is to be noted that this is not a compulsory religious duty, but an obligation for those who are able to afford it.

Anyway, BruManch will be celebrating Hari raya 'AidilAdha', 'Haji' and 'Korban', so I hope you can make yourself available for this event.
