عيد الأضحى
Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” is one of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, as an act of obedience to God’s command.
Here are some key aspects of Eid al-Adha:
- Timing: It falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic calendar.
- Observances:
- Eid Prayer: Muslims gather for a special prayer in the morning.
- Qurbani (Sacrifice): Families who can afford it sacrifice an animal (sheep, goat, cow, or camel) to commemorate Abraham’s sacrifice. The meat is then divided into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for the poor.
- Visiting Family and Friends: It’s a time for social gatherings, exchanging gifts, and strengthening bonds.
- Significance: Eid al-Adha symbolizes sacrifice, obedience, and sharing with those in need.
