Our donors have diverted all the donations to South Sudan, Ukraine, Palestine, Iran, Gaza and other war zone countries, claiming that those countries need more donation than us. They have put us on waiting list,\u201d Hajj Ahmed Muguluma, the head Humanitarian Effort and Relief (Hear) Uganda said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cAll our donors, three of them, who have been donating cows to sacrifice on Eid al-Adha day, have already sent regrets, beause they will not be able to support us this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thoughtco.com\/hajj-overview-2004323\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hajj<\/a> (the fifth pillar of Islam or annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia), muslims throughout the world celebrate Eid al-Adha also known as greater Eid (<em>Festival of Sacrifice<\/em>), which is the most important festival in the muslim calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hajji Buruhan Kawume of Kawempe said, all their hopes for meat donations was with Hear Uganda donation as it has been doing all the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut with this bad news of not giving us meat this time, it\u2019s a very big shock to us and the entire muslim community since&nbsp; Eid celebrations last for three days, when muslims are enjoying meat. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheikh Haidari Kizza of Hear Uganda said, &nbsp;they have been donating cows to biggest number muslims in the country to slaughter on Eid-al Adha day, and &nbsp;their absence in donation has affected many Ugandans who have been depending on them during Eid celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs it happened in the last Ramadhan, and we failed to donate food packages of Ramadan to many Ugandan, it\u2019s the same issue this time. May allah help us to end wars in those countries, so that many needy Ugandans who are also waiting for these donations of cows and Ramadan packages can benefit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two Eids celebrated in Islam which follow major acts of worship.&nbsp; The first is Eid al-Fitr which follows Ramadan and the second is Eid al-Adha which follows the Hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eid al-Adha which follows the day of Arafat on June 15, involves animal sacrifice as a symbol of Ibrahim&#8217;s sacrifice to Allah. It is centred on prayer and animal sacrifice. Eid al-Adha symbolizes prophet Ibrahim&#8217;s willingness to sacrifice his only son as a sign of devotion to Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ismail was replaced with a lamb which is the traditional meat to eat on Eid al-Adha. Muslims also slaughter other animals like goats for the occasion, sharing the meat with their families and donating portions to the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eid-al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, when Muslims break their month-long fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Editor;msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Zurah Nakabugo As Muslims in the world preparing to celebrate Eid al-Adha on June 16,2024 many muslims in the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/naka-scaled.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6203,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/6203-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":12166,"position":0},"title":"Muslims advised to slaughter animals and share meat on Eid al-Adha","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"July 8, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"ZURAH NAKABUGO Muslims around the world will gather to celebrate Eid al-Adha on Saturday ( July 9), which marks the end of annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia and marks Prophet Ibrahim\u2019s willingness to sacrifice his only son for Allah.
