Eo ampanamarihana ny Eid Al Adha, amin'izao fotoana izao ny Miozolomana manerantany, fetim-pivavahana izay manamarika ny faneken'i Abrahama hanao sorona ny zanany (naotin'ny mpandika teny malagasy: Ismaela io ho an'ny Silamo fa Isàka kosa ho an'ny Jiosy sy ny Kristiana) sy ny famaranana ny fivahiniana masina atao any Lameka ( Hajj) . Miray saina kosa mandritra izany ny mpamaham-bolongana fa tsy ao amin'izany mihitsy ny fo amam-panahiny.
Irakiana Layla Anwar miteny fa tsy hitany mihitsy izay antony hifalifaliana. Hoy ny sorany:
You know something, I have stopped celebrating holidays, special occasions and the rest…
What I mean is that my festivities are kept to a strict minimum.
I don't do anything for the Eid, neither for Christmas. However, my family keeps the Eid tradition alive and I comply.
Ny tiako lazaina dia ny kely indrindra amin'ny fifaliana no ataoko.
Tsy manao na inona na inona aho amin'ny Eid, toy izany koa amin'ny Krismasy. Na izany aza, mitazona ny fomban'ny Eid ny fianakaviako ka dia manaraka aho.
Mivoaka sy miverivezy manodidina ary manome ny vaovao farany momba ny Eid any Baghdad i Baghdad Dentist , ary dia manoratra momba ny fifamangian'ny fianakaviana sy ny fanatrehana mariazy, izay voaelingelina noho ny fisian'ny ady manodidina. Nampiany ary:
.at about 6p.m. i went to the wedding party of our neighbour. it was a nice one.every one was dancing and laughing. i saw many boys and girls who grew up. my sister's family stayed,the next day we went to manny neighborhoods in baghdad just hanging over. at night we went to Al-Rubei'y street. i like it because the shops are great and its the only one without concrete barriers on pavements and the people their are more motivated than other where you find trush,concrete barriers,just like chaos!!.there were horrible traffic jams everywhere bcoz of the checkpoints.
Mpamaham-bolongana hafa Faiza Al Arji no miresaka ny dika ara-panahin'ny Eid. Hoy izy:
والى
عهد قريب من حياتي بقيت افكر ان العيد هو فقط طقوس دنيويه مثل ترتيب البيت
وشراء شكولاته وحلويات وعصير للضيوف والذهاب للصالون حتى اقص شعري وارتب
مظهري وشراء ملابس جديدة لافراد العائله جميعهموالان ابتسم على سذاجتي تلك , لم اكن افهم ما معنى هذه المناسبات روحيا , ما هو المغزى الروحي من وراء هذه الطقوس ..
بالنسبة لي الان صرت ارى الاعياد هي مناسبات للاستغفار وذكر الله وشكره على نعمه التي لا تعد ولا تحصى..
وهي مناسبات للتقرب الى الله والشعور بسعادة هذا القرب والأنس بالله
ولا
يهمني كثيرا الشكولاته ولا زيارة الصالون ولا الملابس الجديدة ولا زيارات
الناس والثرثرة والكلام الفارغ عن الدنيا ومكاسبها ومظاهرها او قال وقيل
عن فلان وفلانه ..
Iraqi Signor, izay miaina any Londres, kosa dia sahirana mitady fifaliana amin'ny fotoam-pankalazana. Miresaka amintsika ny niainany nandritra ny Eid fahazaza izy nanao hoe:
This was how I celebrated Eid more than a decade ago. Today, as hard as I try and as desperately as I search, I cannot find much happiness in such communal festivities. People always asked me why I never look happy whenever there's something to celebrate; my robotic response is something along the lines of “Who said I'm not happy? I am, but I'm not going to dance about it, am I?”
Nampiany moa hoe:
Eid is embarrassing; Christmas is cold and birthdays are, well, check the archive. True happiness needs no occasion and we should be forever grateful to be alive and to have one another.
Ho avy faingana ve ny hankalazan'ny Irakiana Eid isan'andro?
