EID-UL-ADHA 2023: HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE
Eid al-Adha commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Ismael) as an act of obedience to Allah. Just before Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son, Allah provided him with a ram as a substitute. In remembrance of this event, Muslims all over the world sacrifice an animal, usually a sheep or goat, on the day of Eid al-Adha. The meat from the sacrifice is divided into three parts: one for the family, one for friends and neighbors, and one for the poor and needy.
Eid al-Adha is a time for Muslims to come together and celebrate their faith. It is a time for prayer, feasting, and giving to charity. Muslims dress in their best clothes, visit the mosque, and exchange gifts. They also spend time with their families and friends, enjoying a festive atmosphere.
