Mangaluru, Sep 2: The Muslims in Kerala and coastal Karnataka will celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, on September 12. Saturday (September 3) marks the first day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah, and Eid always falls on the 10th day of this month.

eidMuslim religious heads and Khazis across Kerala and coastal Karnataka unanimously announced the date of Eid as the crescent moon was sighted in several parts of Kerala on Friday night.

The religious heads who confirmed the Eid date include Kerala Jemiyyathul Ulama President Abdul Hameed Madani, Mangaluru Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal.

Interestingly, most of the Muslim majority Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia will also observe the Eid on the same day.

Eid follows the descent of the Hajj pilgrims from Mount Arafat, a hill in Makkah where Prophet Mohammed gave his final sermon.

Also during Eid-ul-Adha, Muslims traditionally slaughter an animal – usually a sheep, goat, cow or camel – to commemorate a similar offering to God made by the Prophet Abraham.

Dear SK

Dont be defensive... What CD mentioned is true and ALLAH made halal to sacrifice Camel, Cow , Goat or sheep which is also a Creation of ALLAH.... Cow is an option which is helpful to the POOR to sacrifice for the sake of ALLAH.
Dont think cheddis love Cow. Thats a fake love which they want to divert from the hindu masses to see them as bhakt.. Dont U see Cows are dying in the Gowshala? & smell are coming out in all places even in rajastan.
Its cheddi ideology to fool people ... Even in VEDAS we see many kings and hindu priests eating Cows...
So dont be defensive... Cow is HALAL . ALLAH, the creator of U, ME and all that exists has made it Halal...

In ISLAM, when U sacrifice, U will share the meat with U, Ur family and the Poor of your area... when we see in other culture, they sacrifice and bury the cows and buffaloes in the earth.. No benefit only loss of cows live...

I kindly request the Media to check before reporting.... For Qurbani, cows are seldom used, only buffaloes , bulls, goats, sheeps are used...

Such misreporting will encourage the sanghis like Naren to attack Islam
