No Space, No Time? No Problem

Bandar Seri Begawan - Celebrants who are short of space or time to hold Hari Raya open houses can alternatively celebrate the festive gathering at Restoran Soto Rindu in Sengkurong.

According to restaurateur Haji Zainal Haji Safar, the eatery can be used by individuals and companies as a venue to hold such celebrations.

"The restaurant will prepare buffet cuisines, plus Hari Raya cakes, biscuits and special menus," he said. The restaurant will also be able to deliver Raya dishes to celebrants who are too busy to cook.

Muslims hold open-house celebrations for their families, relatives and friends so they can seek forgiveness from one another. The celebration is also to strengthen ties among relatives and friends.

During the festivity, houses are usually decorated and tidied-to receive guests.

Muslims worldwide will celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri on Syawal 1, the first day of a new month following the fasting period of Ramadhan, which will end in less than two weeks.

The festivity is for Muslims to celebrate victory after having won over physical and spiritual temptations by fasting for a month.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
