It's been a good Raya so far, alhamdulillah. God had paused the rain for these two days to allow us to have a sunny Raya. :)
My mum when all out this time since we didn't celebrate Aidilfitri at home this year. So we've been served one cuisine after another and haven't stop eating since morning. The poor stove had not had any rest since yesterday :p hehe.
Since this is Hari Raya Qurban, as per usual we are being reminded of the sacrifice made by our dear Prophet Ibrahim who was tested by Allah in one of the greatest test any man, any father has to through - to slaughter his own beloved son. This, I believe is one of the highest degree of "sami'naa, wa a'to'naa" (we hear and we obey).
His sacrifice made me reflect upon the tight hold that we have on our loved ones. The love that we have for our loved ones is almost akin to the deadly grasp of an octopus around our heart. The idea of losing our loved ones is like pulling out our heart from our body. In normal situation, this love helps to nurture our relationships and made everything seems rosy. When something bad happened, you will literally feel the tight squeeze in your heart.
I guess it is about learning to let go. The concept of redha is a deep one. One that is not so easily learned, much less mastered.
But master them, we must, for our own sake and sanity.

good one, hunny.
Syukran TeaD :)
I love this entry hunny.
I chose a new path on eid, which was based on the concept of redha as I felt the One Above had given all the signs for me to decide.
No food pics? ;-)
I'm still waiting for you to elaborate further on that new path. The hints that I got from your post seems "interesting" ;)
Unfortunately no food pics. Was busy eating that I totally forgot to take any pictures. Only have one pic of the uncooked meat hehehe
Learning to let go is an art that could only be possessed by someone who've got it all and not afraid of losing it.
