Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Darussalam will celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Adha on Saturday, November 28, which corresponds with the 10th day of Zulhijjah, as confirmed by Syariah Court Judge Dato Seri Setia Ustaz Hj Metussin Hj Baki.

The first day of the month of Zulhijjah starts tomorrow, November 19, while the month of Zulkaedah will have 30 days. Hari Raya Aidil Adha prayers will be held on November 28 in mosques nationwide beginning at 7.30am.

This was decided by the Syar'e judges and religious officers at the Ministry of Religious Affairs as well as officers from the Survey Department at the Ministry of Development based on the absence of the new moon for the month of Zulhijjah.

The sighting was made at several observatory points, including Bukit Shahbandar in Jerudong, Bukit Ambok and Bukit Agok in the Tutong District and Bukit Lumut in the Belait District. In conjunction with the sighting of the new moon, the Ministry of Religious Affairs also organised a religious ceremony at the ministry's building in Jalan Menteri Besar attended by Pehin Jawatan Luar Pekerma Raja Dato Seri

Utama Dr Ustaz Hj Md Zain Hj Serudin, Minister of Religious Affairs. Also present were Deputy Religious Minister Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Hj Badaruddin Pengarah Dato Paduka Hj Othman, permanent secretaries, deputy permanent secretaries and the ministry's senior officers.

The event began with the recital of Quranic verses by Ustaz Yusairi Asbol from Tahfiz Al-Quran Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah institute, followed by mass recitation of salawat or praises for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
