Indonesian and Malaysian expats joined the Muslim faithful in celebrating Eid Al Adha with fervent prayers and joyful celebrations across Dubai on Tuesday.
Over at the Indonesian Consulate, the celebration, also known as Feast of the Sacrifice or Greater Eid, started with the Eid Al Adha prayer at 6.12am followed by a sermon by Ustadz Mursalin, who used the opportunity to call for solidarity among Indonesians. "We come from various ethnic groups and various religious backgrounds but we are Bangsa (One) Indonesia," he emphasised during his sermon.
Dubai resident and Indonesian expat Cinta Budiarsya said the meaning of Eid, for her, is about "family, sacrifice and togetherness."
"Our family has been celebrating Eid in Dubai for 14 years now and we usually celebrate it by joining our Indonesian brothers and sisters at the Consulate for prayers. We love the community spirit and togetherness," Budiarsya said.
Another Indonesian expat, Dr Yanti Damayanti, also joined in the morning prayers. She added: "Eid celebrations also means preparing and cooking our favourite Indonesian cuisine to have a taste of home-cooked foods."
