My Aqiqah And Cukur Jambul Ceremony

"In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful "

"Oh Allah, this is the Aqiqah under the name of Zulaikha Anastasia Binti Nor Azura! Oh Allah, may this Aqiqah be an atonement for the child in order that she be protected from the torture of hell fire......"

Aminnnnnnnnnnnnn

Hello this is my Aqiqah and Cukur Jambul Ceremony with my cousin Nur Nadiatul Nathra. When I was 14 days old my mum and dad arranged a grand baby shower (Aqiqah & Cukur Jambul) for me. The event took place on 15th Jun, 1999 at 3.00pm and also at night at 8.45pm.

Atuk said it is Sunnah to perform Aqiqah on the 7th, 14th and 21st day of birth. Aqiqah is considered as Sunat Muakad, a practice that is strongly encouraged for those who have the mean to do so. Aqiqah literally means cut and it is often used for the hair of a new born baby that is cut or shaved.

3.00p.m.

The Marhaban group and Maulid Diba'

The occasion started with a ladies only Marhaban, Maulid Diba' and Berzanji sessions held at 3.00 p.m. followed by Cukur Jambul.

Another part of the Aqiqah ceromony also involved Cukur Jambul (cutting or shaving my hair-but they just cut a little bit only)


I fell asleep immediately after the event.

The food apparently was really very good. My mom was unable to eat the good food because she still on pantang. Pity her!
