Non-Muslim kids witness ritual slaughter of sheep
SCHOOLTEACHER Ernieyanty Hassan usually visits relatives during Hari Raya Haji, but she spent it at a mosque with her non-Muslim students yesterday. Ms Ernieyanty, 29, shared the practices of her faith with the 28 students, who observed 2,000 Muslims at prayer and watched the korban, the annual ritual slaughter of sheep. She said she felt âquite honouredâ to do this. The Secondary 4 and Secondary 5 students from Manjusri Secondary were at the Darul Aman Mosque, where prayers were held and 100 sheep slaughtered. Secondary 4 student Alvin Oh, 16, said he found the mosque visit worthwhile, although he felt squeamish watching the korban.Posted by: TS 2004-02-02 |
