My Favourite Festival !!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t..

Now I want to tell you all about my favourite festival,  as you can see my big title up there. As you know, Malaysia is a country of multi-ethnic society practising multi-culturalism and multi-religion. Each ethnic group practises its own religion and belief which means various festivals are celebrated throughout the year. These festivals are usually celebrated either nationwide or at state level. "Open house" concept is practise almost all the festivals, which means inviting relatives and friends to partake in the food and festivity occasion. Some of these festivals are public holidays. Malaysian have many festival and bigger festival such as Hari Raya Puasa is celebrate by Malay, Chinese New Year to Chinese and Deepavali to Indians.

I as a Muslim people and of course, my favorite festival is Hari Raya Puasa. Muslims signifies the end of the fasting season of Ramadan for a month. The celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon. This is the most significant celebration for the Muslims. At first raya, houses are thoroughly cleaned and decorated with the lighting of oil lamps.

The celebration lasts for a month which the celebration is concentrated in the first three days. Muslims starts the day by congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visits to the graves of the departed. That's the always my family do at the first raya and I will visited my late grandfather and grandmother. After that, my family and relatives will gathering in one house and will ask for forgiveness from elders. In my family, everyone who not working will receive money from uncle and aunty as reward because full fasting in a month of Ramadan. I think all family was same with my family. I feel very happy at that day with all my big family.

That’s all for my favorite festival, okay bye.. ^_^
