Today is the 15th day of Zulhijjah, the 12th and final month in the
Islamic Lunar Calendar, marking the end of the year. Zulhijjah means 'Lord of the
Pilgrimage'. It is during this month in which the Hajj Pilgrimage takes
place and pilgrims from all around the world congregate at Makkah to
visit the Kaaba. The Hajj Pilgrimage is performed on the eighth, ninth
and the tenth of this month. Eid ul-Adha, the 'Festival of the
Sacrifice' is held on the tenth day. The sacred month of Zulhijjah is one of the highly
blessed months.
On the 2nd day of this blessed month, my family welcomed our newborn twin grand daughters Aliyah and Alyssa. With His blessing, mother and babies were discharged from the hospital after 3 days, in time for the "Festival of the Sacrifice" Eidul-Adha.
