[e]id-ul-Adha-The festival gets digital
You would have read/heard terms like e-books,e-shopping,e-magazine etc etc but the term electronic Eidul Adha which I term as [e]Idul-Adha might be new for you. According to news.com
Muslims in Western countries unable to perform the ritual can now buy an animal over the Internet and even watch it being slaughtered, before its meat is given away.
It is not easy for them to buy animals and carry out the sacrifice according to our religious rites in those countries,” said Sohail Ahmed, an official at the Al-Khidmat trust Islamic welfare organization.
“They are turning to the Internet to complete their religious obligations,” said Ahmed, whose organization offers the service.
The most intresting bit:
“We have a dedicated IP address and people can watch the sacrifice no matter which country they are in,” said organization official Shakeel Dehalvi.
I remember that Bakra[goat] and Gaye[bull and cow] Mandi[market] in Karachi had started credit card facility last year and people didn’t need to keep heavy cash amount anymore. This internet concept is just great and innovative too!
Who says we are not getting digital?:D
