Eid al-Adha, or the "Festival of Sacrifice," is an important Islamic holiday
commemorating Prophet Ibrahim's
willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, in
obedience to God. Celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, it follows the Hajj
pilgrimage. Muslims worldwide mark the occasion with special prayers, feasts, and the ritual sacrifice of an animal, usually a
sheep, goat, or cow, symbolizing Ibrahim's
test of faith. The meat is divided among
family, friends, and the needy, embodying
the spirit of charity and community.
Eid al-Adha emphasizes devotion,
generosity, and the importance of helping
those in need.
