Eid al Adha, 1444
Attended prayers at Masjid Darussalam for Hari Raya Haji this morning and celebrated the occasion at home with family in the late afternoon in a suitably jolly fashion.
Tried to spend some time between these events meditating on the meaning of sacrifice, in keeping with the spirit of the day. The khutbah this morning had taken 'unity in diversity' as its paradoxical theme and I found a way of linking this to my scrambled thoughts on the need to make sacrifices for something other than ourselves. It's not so easy to recognise that we're not at the centre of the universe but acting on this truth allows a kind of freedom.
