Eid al-Adha, also known as Eid al-Kabir or the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most important holidays in Islam. It commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God, as mentioned in the Quran.
During Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world celebrate by performing special prayers, sacrificing animals (usually sheep, goats, or cows), and sharing the meat with family, friends, and those in need. The act of sacrificing an animal represents Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son and serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and submission to God.
The date of Eid al-Adha is based on the Islamic lunar calendar and falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar. The exact date may vary each year in the Gregorian calendar. The celebration lasts for three days, during which Muslims come together for prayers, feasts, and spending time with loved ones.
Eid al-Adha is a time of generosity, community, and reflection for Muslims worldwide. It is an occasion to strengthen family bonds, engage in acts of charity, and express gratitude for the blessings in life.
