About

Also known as "The Feast of Sacrifice," it commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. The festival falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The celebration spans four days, during which Muslims gather for special prayers, express gratitude, and perform acts of charity. The highlight of Eid al-Adha is the sacrifice of an animal (usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel), with the meat divided into three parts: one for the family, one for friends and neighbors, and one for the poor and needy. This festival not only commemorates a significant event in Islamic history but also promotes unity, generosity, and compassion within the Muslim community.
