Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakrid, is one of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar. It marks the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God.
The festival is celebrated over three days, and during this time Muslims gather to pray, exchange gifts, and feast on specially prepared food. The main event of Eid al-Adha is the sacrifice of an animal, usually a sheep or goat. The meat from the sacrifice is then shared with family, friends, and the poor.
Eid al-Adha is a time for Muslims to come together and celebrate their faith. It is also a time to reflect on the importance of sacrifice and obedience to God.
