Eid al-Adha 4 Jun - 6 Jun
Celebrating Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, observed by Muslims globally.
Eid al-Adha, known as the 'Festival of Sacrifice' is one of the most significant holidays in Islam. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail in obedience to God's command. Just as Ibrahim demonstrated faith and devotion, Eid al-Adha reminds Muslims of the importance of sacrifice, charity, and selflessness.
The holiday is marked by prayers, feasts, and the ritual slaughtering of animals, such as sheep, goats, and cattle, with the meat being distributed among the less fortunate. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and strengthening the bonds of community and family. Eid al-Adha encourages acts of charity and giving, helping to uplift those in need.
