Kurban ait

Description:

One of the most important Muslim holidays
One of the most important Muslim holidays "Kurban Ait" falls on 70 days after the end of the fast Oraz. Calculation, according to the lunar calendar, changes annually with a difference of about 10 days. Translated from Arabic, it is a “feast of sacrifice”.

Muslims sacrifice one of the animals: a sheep, a cow, a ram or a camel.

It is believed that the one who performed the kurban shala ensured the family a prosperous existence.

The most important day for Muslims is the first day of “Kurban Ayta”. On this day, prayers are read in mosques, it is on the first day that believers try to congratulate each other and invite for dastarkhan.

On this day, every Muslim should be covered with dastarkhan, because guests or representatives of the clergy can come to him at any moment. And the fact that now “Christmas” and “Kurban Ait” became weekends, removed many problems, because earlier, to celebrate the holiday, observing all the rituals, many had to take a day off from work, say representatives of the clergy.
