The Holiday of Muslim

     One of the holidays of Muslim is called Lebaran’s day. It is celebrated on 1^st Syawal. That day is the day when everyone forgives everybody who has made the mistakes to her/him. In Lebaran’s day we can meet with our big family, and we can laugh together. In that time we also get some money from our family, it is named “THR”. Everyone feels happy in that moment, because they can buy the new clothes. Before we celebrate that day, we should give some money to the poor, it is called ”zakat fitrah”.

     In Pariaman, Lebaran’s day is celebrated for one week. From 1^st-7^th Syawal Pariaman makes the beach party. There is a unique game, it is “Boyan Kaliang”. The Beach party is a big party complete with many attractions. Those attractions are very interesting, many tourists come there to take the best photos.

     In the previous Lebaran’s day, I felt happy because I got a prize from my parents. They gave me a new motorcycle. I did not know what the causes. Actually, my father said that I got it because I have shown to them that I am a diligent student, and I got the second rank in my school when I was graduated  from Senior High School. My parents were very proud of me, but they did not show it. Two month after that I was received as an English student in Padang State University. They said to me not to be boasted with my achievement because it could make me fall in the future.

     I always keep what my parents said in my mind. That was the best lebaran’s day in my life. In Lebaran’s day everyone feel happy because that day is the day when the Muslims get the wining and  freedom of the fast.
