Eid-ul-Ajha is a two-and-a-half-day celebration. Today is the first day and this morning, we went to pray at our local Northeast Philadelphia Islamic Center. We attended the first jamat at 8:00am. The main Eid prayer took place in the front yard of the mosque, but we were sitting in the mosque till the prayer started because it was cloudy and felt like rain would start anytime. When prayer finally started, we joined the prayer in the yard. Luckily other than few raindrops we didn’t get any rain during or after the prayer. I made the following video after the prayer.

The Whisperer
In college, I had a teacher, Douglas TheWhisperer (not giving the real last name intentionally), who would start talking in a normal voice or may be little louder and then his voice would gradually go down to whisper and around the end I wouldn't hear anything he was...
