Hari Raya Haji, the day when Muslims reaffirm their faith in God, giving thanks for the many blessings that He has bequeathed to them.
It’s an occasion celebrated about two months after Aidilfitri, on the 10th day of Zulhijah, the 12th month of the Muslim calendar, which marks the end of the haj pilgrimage period (about two weeks), hence the name Hari Raya Haji (festival of the pilgrimage).
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.
Wishing all Malaysians Selamat Hari Raya Haji.

The day Semi says he doesn’t want to fight for the Indians anymore should be made a holiday.
