Singapore's style: 7 differences between Hari Raya Haji and Hari Raya Puasa

KBAA --  It’s the eve of Hari Raya Haji (Great Day of the Haj) and many in Singapore’s Muslim community are busy getting ready for Islam’s second biggest festival, also known as Hari Raya Korban (Great Day for Sacrifice).

Not to be mistaken for Hari Raya Puasa, which took place earlier on 17 July, Hari Raya Haji, which is also called Aidiladha, happens 70 days after the holy fasting month of Ramadan, and is celebrated for up to four days. Meanwhile for Hari Raya Puasa, it is celebrated for 30 days at the end of Ramadan, and on the first day of the subsequent month of Syawal.

Muslims begin celebrations for both festivals by congregating at mosques to give prayers and listen to sermons.
