Do your holiday research ONLINE...


There is no denying that technology is here to stay - namely internet  - one of the key ways of giving and receiving informatiion for travellers . With just a few keystrokes and a clicks  - information is instantly available . But amidst all the cyber clutter , how do we ensure that we find and receive reliable information to help us plan our travels ?


> Tripadvisor :
One of the favourite sites and possibly the most comprehensive traveller review site available is tripadvisor.com . While the site provides helpful traveller reviews and first hand information on hotels , destinations and tips , be sure to read between the lines and ask yourself if the reviewer shares the same mind set as you . Also , if you come across any negative reviews , check the date it was posted . Sometimes the establishment are quick to change, move or close . Look for reviews which include pictures that are taken by other travellers . They can help give you a better picture of the place that you are reading about . You can refer to my reviews under the member name of  " wazaruha " as a start .


>Bloggers :
Gone are the days of writing about your travels in journals . Today , every major city has a smorgasbord of travels bloggers waiting to disseminate valuable travel tips and advice to anyone who's willing to read it . A great way to source for blog sites is to use Google Blog Search and key in your destination . Once you have read the information on the site , go the extra mile and contact them for personnel recommendation of what interest you . Like my two blogs  , "  albumoflife-wazaruha " and " albumoflife-wazaruha1 " , I am happy to share with uols ...........

>Travel Forums :
While travel forums are not exactly the most popular choice amongst online researchers today , there are some excellent sites that can get you credible information . Try checking out sites from brands that have a long standing history of providing excellent travel information such as LonelyPlanet.com , Fodors.com or RoughGuides.com . Fodors can sometimes lean towards older , slightly affluent users , while LonelyPlanet might be more suitable for younger travellers who are ready to rough it out .

>Social Networking :
One of the best ways to get first-hand information about a specific travel destination is to update your facebook , twitter or whatsapp status . Ask your friends for suggestion or recommendation of places to visit at the destination you are visiting . You know that you are getting trustworthy information because they are coming from your own friends .

Festive is the end of the period to pay zakat fitrah of charity to those who are still living up to that time. Zakat Fitrah should not be paid for those who have died. Usually, Muslims will begin to pay zakat fitrah since the fasting month begins and zakat fitrah will stop collection when Eid prayers started. Thus, the usual Eid prayers slightly delayed compared al-Adha prayers. Delayed a little wisdom Eid prayers is to provide opportunities for those who are not paying tithes to discharge their duties and encouraged to eat before going to the mosque. It is different, encouraged al-Adha prayers backdated time to give more time to slaughter the sacrifice. [1]

Once the date has been determined Eid, Muslims will be glorifying Allah and praising the greatness of Allah tahmid. Air Period interpretation of Hari Raya is between sunset (the last day of the month of Ramadan) until the Aidilfitri prayers began on the morning of the 1st of Shawwal AH. The feast is celebrated on the morning till night
