Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is one of the most significant holidays in Islam. It commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God before being commanded to offer him a ram instead. The holiday is marked by communal prayers, charitable giving, family gatherings, and the ritual sacrifice of livestock, with meat distributed among relatives and those in need.
The holiday is observed annually by millions of Muslims worldwide and is traditionally accompanied by calls for solidarity, reconciliation, and support for vulnerable communities.
