      Dengue fever also known as breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne infection that causes a severe flu-like illness. There are four different viruses that can cause dengue fever, all of which spread by a certain type of mosquito. Dengue can vary from mild to severe; the more severe forms include dengue shock syndrome and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Patients who develop the more serious forms of dengue fever usually need to be hospitalized. There are currently no vaccines for Dengue fever. The best way to prevent the disease is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes altogether. Although there is no certain treatment for Dengue, it can be treated as long as it is caught before developing into dengue shock syndrome or dengue hemorrhagic fever.

      The total number of fatalities from dengue fever recorded in Malaysia in 2010 stood at 134 cases, an increase of 54% from 2009. The number of reported dengue cases rose by 12% to 45,901 in 2010. As of June 16, 11,063 dengue cases have been reported since January.

THE MEANING OF AIDILFITRI TO ME

ASSALAMUALAIKUM AND HAPPY READING :)



      

               Eid ul-Fitr or Id-ul-Fitr, often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning “festivity”, while Fitr means “to break the fast”; and so the holiday symbolises the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated starting on the first day of the Islamic month of Syawal.
Muslims are to complete their fast on the last day of Ramadan and then recite the Takbir all throughout the period of Eid.

               Hari Raya Aidilfitri
 is the Malay term for Eid ul-FitrHari Raya is also known as Lebaran. Muslims in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore celebrate Eid like other Muslims throughout the world. The term “Hari Raya” literally means “Day of Celebration”. The main greeting used by Muslims in Malaysia and Singapore is “Selamat Hari Raya” which means “Happy Eid”. Another greeting is “maaf zahir dan batin” which translates loosely to “I seek forgiveness (from you) physically and spiritually”, for Hari Raya is a time to ask for forgiveness, reconcile and renew relationships with others.


                 During Hari Raya AidilFitri, me and my family always celebrate our Hari Raya at my grandma's house in Raub, Pahang. Every morning, we will be having our breakfast together at the dining room. The main food we usually eat during Hari Raya AidilFirti is rendang, ketupat, nasi impit, lemang and some kuih raya. After meal, we will be getting ready to change our new Hari Raya clothes. For the men or the boys, they wll be wearing Baju Melayu, kain samping and songkok. And for the women or the girls, some of them will be wearing baju kurung, baju kebaya, jubah and others. 
                   
                 Furthermore, we will gather around at the hall room to start our salam Hari Raya and taking some family pictures. Literally, the oldest will start the our Salam Raya. Some of us will be crying after the Salam Raya because it is very meaningful to all of us to forgive and apologize to others during Hari Raya. After that, we will be taking our raya pictures together. 

                Muslims will attend Eid prayer in the morning and consecrate together harmoniously while taking the chance to meet and greet each other. Once the prayer is done, it is also common for Muslims in Malaysia to visit the grave of their loved ones. During this visit, they will clean the grave, perform the recital of the Yasin — a chapter (surah) from the Qur’an and also thetahlil or prayers for the deceased. All these are done in hope that their loved ones are blessed by Allah and they are spared from the punishment in the grave.

              The rest of the day is spent visiting relatives or serving visitors. Hari Raya is a very joyous day for children for this is the day where adults tend to be extra-generous. Children will be given token sums of money, also known as duit raya from their parents and elders.

                During the night, there are celebrations with sparklers and firecrackers, with emphasis on precautions and restrictions on playing certain firecrackers as enforced by the authorities. Usually the lighting of firecrackers begins a few days before the end of Ramadan, and continues for about a week afterwards.


THANKS FOR READING AND SELAMAT HARI RAYA EVEN THOUGH RAYA DAH HABIS!!

Hari Raya has a deeper meaning The day calls for  complete devotion to Allah. All muslims celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri on the first of syawal month. In the morning , all muslim will do Solat Hari Raya at mosque together. Eid is known also known with various other names such as Hari raya Lebaran, Hari Raya idul Fitri, and Hari Raya puasa. 

Raya of this year is very meaningful to me because my other side of the family who came far from the South to Kuala Lumpur. The reason that they came here to spend more some qualities time together. The day before raya, my grandma and my mom will start cooking our Hari Raya food. They usually cooked rendang ayam and daging, nasi impit, kuah kacang, kuah satay and lemang. Beside that, me and my younger sister will decorate the house.


The next day, we will be getting ready to wear our baju raya. For the man, they usually go to the  mosque to have their raya prayers. After the solat raya, we will start our salam raya. For the muslims worship with utmost sincerity and integrity.They pray for being forgiven for their wrong doings and for a happy life. Muslims pray to the lord for his kindness and grace.Those who follow the path of honesty, righteousness, equality, love, worship and harmony are blessed with abundance.

Other than that, some of my relatives came to my house to celebrate our Hari Raya together. We cherish those qualities time to get to know each other more deeper so that we can feel the love between family and friends. To me, that is what Hari Raya is all about.

The importance of Hari Raya lies in worshopping , celebrating and feasting in the worshipping , celebrating and feasting in the name of allah.Hari raya gives a perfect reason to express one's gratitude to allah for bestowing prosperous blessings.
