Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is a significant Islamic holiday that commemorates Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. This festival, which is to be celebrated on June 17, is a time of joy, reflection, and unity among Muslims worldwide.
The story of Prophet Abraham and his son holds immense significance in the context of Eid al-Adha. According to Islamic tradition, Allah tested Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his beloved son. Demonstrating unwavering obedience, Abraham prepared to carry out the command, but at the very moment of sacrifice, Allah intervened, replacing his son with a ram. This event symbolizes the ultimate act of submission and trust in God.
Eid al-Adha traditions and celebrations
During Eid al-Adha, Muslims engage in several traditional activities and customs. They attend special congregational prayers early in the morning at mosques or open grounds. They perform the act of Qurbani, sacrificing an animal (usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel) to symbolize Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son for God. The meat is then divided into three parts: one for the family, one for friends and relatives, and one for the poor and needy. It is customary for Muslims to wear new clothes or their best attire for Eid prayers and celebrations.
Families and friends gather to exchange greetings of Eid Mubarak, hug, and visit each other's homes. Special meals are prepared, and people share food with family, friends, and the less fortunate. Muslims often give Zakat-ul-Fitr, a charitable donation, to help the poor celebrate Eid.
