Eid al-Adha is one of two Eids Muslims celebrate – the other is Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. They believe Ibrahim committed to kill his only son Ismail on the command of God. He was further instructed to sacrifice the lamb instead of his only son.
According to religious beliefs the festival also coincides with the anniversary of the day when “Quran” was declared complete and therefore many Muslims undertake Haj (pilgrimage) to Mecca on this day. Eid al Adha is a celebration of enthusiastic faith of the believers towards Allah and his words in “Quran”. Wish you a very happy eid Mubarak to you and your family. The meat is shared among family and friends and also donated to the poor.
