What is Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Adha is one of the two major Islamic holidays, the other being Eid al-Fitr. It marks the end of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The festival reminds Muslims of the importance of faith, sacrifice, and generosity.
Why is Sacrifice Important?
According to Islamic belief, Prophet Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah. But Allah provided a ram to be sacrificed instead. To remember this, Muslims around the world sacrifice animals such as goats, sheep, or cows. This ritual is called Qurbani.
The meat is then divided into three parts:
-
One-third for the family
-
One-third for relatives and friends
-
One-third for the poor and needy
