Traditionally, Muslims mark Eid al-Adha by performing the 'Qurbani' (sacrifice) of an animal, usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel, with a portion of the meat distributed to those in need.

 

Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is a significant Islamic holiday celebrated worldwide. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command, which was ultimately replaced with a ram. This event symbolizes faith, submission, and the importance of God's mercy.

In 2024, Eid al-Adha will be observed on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It follows the completion of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, which millions of Muslims undertake as a demonstration of their faith.

Traditionally, Muslims mark Eid al-Adha by performing the 'Qurbani' (sacrifice) of an animal, usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel, with a portion of the meat distributed to those in need. Families gather for prayers, feasts, and social gatherings, emphasizing unity, generosity, and compassion towards others.

The occasion encourages reflection on the values of sacrifice, charity, and devotion, fostering a sense of community and spiritual renewal among Muslims worldwide. It is a time of joyous celebration and gratitude, where families and friends come together to strengthen bonds and share blessings.
