Eid ul-Adha

Eid ul-Adha, also called the "Festival of Sacrifice," is an important Islamic holiday commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. According to tradition, God provided a ram to sacrifice instead. The celebration involves praying, giving charity, and often sacrificing an animal such as a sheep or cow, with the meat distributed to family, friends, and those in need. It’s a time for reflection, gratitude, and community, emphasizing faith, sacrifice, and generosity. The holiday lasts several days and is observed by Muslims worldwide.
