Eid Al Fitr ..Eid Mubarak @ Masjid Seoul

Eid Mubarak in Seoul Masjid @ Itaewon. This year is surely different from last year in term of whom we met and whom we celebrated the Eid Mubarak with. This year we met our students from Gadjah Mada University, Jogjakarta who happened to be in Seoul for student exchange program.  

Also..we met Andri sonsaengnim who happened to be in Seoul for a 2-month language training course. Then...we also met mbak Anna and her cousin from German who happened to be in Seoul for an internship. 

Yes..this is our picture in front / at the side of Central Masjid in Itaewon, Seoul. 

A good way to remember the celebration. 

And of course....we also had a chance to meet Pak Nugroho and his family who happened to be in Seoul for a 3-week visit.  

and....last but not least....all along, we're with mbak Ulfa, our dear friend and neighbor who's been living in Seoul since 2011. Yes...

that pretty much summed up whom we met in the first hours after the prayer finished at Lebaran Festival...or Eid Mubarak 2014 / 1435 Hijriyah. 

May Allah bless us all. Amen. 

Idul Adha /Eid-al Adha 1434 H

The morning shower and the chilling weather made it even more .....

I got to pray in the 1st underground floor due to the full capacity of the main floor at Masjid. Well, it's warmer inside, thank God. 

My 3rd Eid-al Adha in Korea.  

After the prayer, people started to peer out of the main praying hall and got down the stairs to meet their friends. 

I only had a chance to take a moment with Sulis and his wife--who just arrived a week earlier. 

As for me, kids went to school since it was not a national holiday in Korea. 

I was lucky to be able to perform the Eid-al Adha prayer at 10 am since my class would not have begun until 12 at that day.

So...It's a kind of different feeling..having to celebrate one of the most important dates in Islamic calender.....without any friends to hang out with. ^^ sure I did meet friends quite a lot of them...it's just that the rain scattered us around..
