[ 28/11/2009 23:35:15] London: Happy Eid

in Gaza: TO YOU TOO

in Gaza: thanx

London: I saw a video on Eid in Gaza on PressTVs web site: http://www.presstv.ir/default.aspx

in Gaza: are you doing well??

London: I don’t think I am doing well, actually.

in Gaza: why?

London: Well I think I make enemies – I have toooo much to say

in Gaza: god bless u

London: Inshalah

in Gaza: Inshalah

London: God doesn’t always make his presence felt. I do think the birds can have messages. Do you have anything in your culture about birds knowing things, or giving messages?

in Gaza: i know a bird was used to send messages from place to place

we call it hamam alzajel

London: But I think the birds for sending messages are trained by humans

in Gaza: right

first the humans take them to the place which they want to send messages to

then they take them back tieing the message on their feet and then let them fly

London: Yes we call them “homing pigeons”, they have competitions with them – the enthusiasts..

in Gaza: aha

London: Have you been busy???

in Gaza: last days ? We were thinking of Sacrificing – in the feast

in Gaza: and my brother and o did it yesterday

London: Sacrificing an animal???

in Gaza: right

this is what all the moslems do in aladha feast

don’t u know about it?

London: This video is called travelers for eid

in Gaza: don’t u know about it?

London: Not very much, sort of hear about it every year, Islamic culture is starting to make a bigger impact in recent years, but it really is kept away from Western Mainstream Media

in Gaza: aha -

it is along story -

but one of the past messengers called (Ibrahim) Peace upon him

dreamed that he is killing his son

and when he wakes up he deals with the dream as an order from Allah

cause the messengers dreams are already messages from Allah

so he tell his son that i saw my self killing u

his son says “dad do what ever u are ordered to do”

when Ibrahim peace upon him started and want to kill his son

Gebril who is an angel responsible for delivering the messages from Allah and the messengers

came from the sky telling Ibrahim that Allah wants to save your son and sends you this goat to Sacrifice it

and it became an order for all on this day to do so even in cows or camels

this day named aladha feast

and there is some conditions for Sacrificing

that’s it

London: I really enjoyed the story – even though often I do not remember later, it has drama because the unexpected happens, and there is a similarity with Hindus from India, because they have someone called Narada, who is a messenger from God.

in Gaza: Narada

؟؟

I DON’T hear about him before
