The annual Preston's open house for hari raya was on the first weekend of Syawal. We decided to do Sarah's 'aqiqah' as well. It was as delightful as last year.Hot sizzling lamb and chicken BBQ and Kak Jie's specialty nasi Arab were the hits of the day. The difference this year was the additional event, the 'cukur jambul' (shaving of the baby's head) of the two latest newcomers to the Preston's family, baby Sarah and baby Nabila.
The ceremony started at 2pm with marhaban, berzanji and followed by cukur jambul. We didn't shave Sarah's and Nabila's head, both dads decided just to snip a little bit of hair..sayang bebenor rambut anak pompuan diorang nih ..:) After that, Ustaz Khairul performed a 'tahnik', though actually papa already did that when Sarah was less than a day old :) .. tapi takpe..ambik berkat orang tahfiz al-quran..semoga Sarah menjadi seorang anak yang solehah.

* aqiqah : Aqiqah is done after the seventh day of the arrival of the new-born, as a form of welcome for it and to give thanks to the one who gave the blessings, it is prescribed to slaughter a sheep.If the new-born is a boy then two sheep are to be sacrificed, and if it is a girl then one sheep.
* tahnik : This means to softening a date and then rubbing the palate of the new-born with it just after the birth or soon after. This is done by putting a piece of the softened date on the finger and rubbing it from left to right in the mouth of the baby. It is done by the father or the mother or anyone from the People of Knowledge whose supplication is hoped would be accepted.
