CELEBRATION TABASKI 2020
As is known, Islam presents five pillars or duties of obligatory fulfillment by all faithful, with some exceptions. They are: Acceptance that Allah is the only ten and Muhammad is his prophet; Daily prayer five times a day; Fasting during the month of Ramadan; Making charitable works and compulsory Almoina, and the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in life.
It is also necessary to know that the Islamic calendar has 12 months, as the Christian, and that these may be 29 or 30 days. The computation of this calendar begins in 622 of the Gregorian calendar, when Muhammad fled from Mecca to take refuge in the historic Medina known as Hegira.
In this calendar we must highlight the celebration of a party at the end of the twelfth and last month of the calendar that marks the end of the year and because the great pilgrimage to Mecca is performed. One of the most important festivals of Islam is also held: the Feast of sacrifice that marks the end of the rituals of pilgrimage.
This celebration is public and the whole population participates in general, and schools and most businesses remain closed. According to the story, it is commemorates the passage collected both in the Bible and in the Koran in what is shown the will of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God, before Dèu provided him a lamb to sacrifice him instead.
The lamb must be disgorged with the head in the direction of Mecca by the head of the family, saying the ritual words: "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the merciful".
This festival receives several names depending on the place of the planet. The name Tabaski is known from the Muslim and Central African majority or a significant Muslim community (Niger, Senegal, Benin, Mali...). In North Africa it is called Tafaska, and in Hispanic-speaking places as Fiesta del Xai. In the rest of the world, he is generally known for his Arabic name: Eid al-Adha.
The Great Festival is essentially an act of communion and solidarity among Muslims around the world, and in Catalonia it massively celebrates communities as diverse as the Moroccan, the Pakistani or the Senegambian. It consists of the sacrifice of a lamb according to the Muslim ritual and share it with family and loved ones. Also share it with the poor and needy.
In Catalonia, hygienic-sanitary regulations prohibit the sacrifice of animals outside the authorised slaughterhouses and the party's participants must go to find the lamb, killed by the traditional method, in the slaughterhouses of each locality or buy meat from the halal butchers.
