Eid celebration in Oman
Name: ALYA AL HADDABI
General Purpose: To inform
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience of the traditional muslim celebration called Eid.
Central Idea/Preview: Eid is a an international holiday for many muslims across the
globes. It is celebrated in many different ways in different cultures. Today I would like to
share with you how we celebrate Eid in Oman
Organizational Pattern: Chronological Introduction
I. Attention Getter: How many of you guys know what eid is ? Many Muslims in the
United States celebrate Eid alFitr on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic
calendar. It marks the end of the monthlong fast of Ramadan and the celebration
lasts up to three days in some countries.
II. Establish Credibility: There are about 1.6 billion muslims that celebrate eid across
the globe and different cultures celebrate it in many different ways.
III. Relate to audience : Today I would like to share with you my experience of eid and
how it is an important part of my culture and all the different things we do while
celebrating it.
IV. Central Idea/Preview: Eid in Oman lasts up to three days. I will talk about the
events we have from the first day of eid to the last day of eid. These events include
makhraj, mazmal, azwah, razha.
[On the first day of eid …]
Body
I. Main Point:Before I talk about any event there is an important part of eid which is
called Eidyia ,it’s that’s the reason I wake up so early and happy that day, and
basically you congratulate all the adults on eid and they give you money. Then we
have several events the first would be the eid prayer and the second would be the
makhraj and the last would be a feast for all your family members called Ursiya.
A. SubPoint: The first event that day is the Eid prayer. All the men and their
sons gather in the mosque at 6am and offer a prayer to celebrate Eid.
B. SubPoint: After the prayers are over, All the children go to an event where
chocolates and candy and traditional snacks and toys are sold called the
Makhraj.
C. SubPoint: And finally, after the makhraj all the family gathers in the house of
the grandparents and enjoy the feast Ursiya and its a very warm and
welcoming atmosphere and there is a lot of family bonding time.
[Moving to the second day of eid]
II. Main Point: On the second day there are two events. The first is Thabiha, the
second is AlAzwah.
A. SubPoint: The first event is basically mercifully slay a cow or sheep and the
meat is distributed in two ways. First they would cut the meat and season it
and put it on barbecue sticks to be cooked and
eaten for lunch.
The second
part would be they would dig a huge hole in the ground put a layer of hot,
burning coal and then put the seasoned meat which would be covered
securely in that hole and then add another layer of coal which is then they
covery it with soil and is left there to cook and is unearthed the next day to be
eaten for lunch.
B. SubPoint: The second event is the Azwah which is basically the same as
the makhraj but the only difference is that it is held on higher ground of a
mountain. What is special about the is that is is in the halfway between the
east and west of the village. All the children go there from 4:00pm to 7:00pm
and this event is repeated on the last day of eid as well.
[On the last day of eid …]
III. Main Point: There are two major events that happen during the event I previously
talked about called Azwah. On this day the Azwah usually lasts until 8:00pm.
A. SubPoint: First there is the mazmal, which is basically a two groups of men
as well as boys that come from the east and west of the village and meet in
the mountain. On their way to the mountain the are singing and play on
traditional musical instruments. The two leading people of the two groups
have swords because the moment they meet up in the mountain they both
perform a dance called AlRazha with these swords while the other men/boys
surround them in a circle until the dance is finished.
B. SubPoint: Once they finish the dance they move on the the next event
called the Shabah. The shabah is a shooting contest where anyone who
owns a rifle gets to participate and the winner gets to light up the canon which
is fired at an empty plain land and this symbolizes the end of Eid al fitr.
Conclusion
I. Transition Signal: Now that I have thrown all this new information at you guys.
II. Summary of Main Points: And you know all about the first day to the last day of eid, I
hope you guys visit Oman during the eid and get to experience the eid celebration
firsthand.
III. Concluding Thought: And if you guys can’t make it to Oman, you can always come
to the omani night at OSU and get a little bit of the omani experience.
