Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant Islamic holidays, commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. Celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar, it coincides with the final days of the Hajj pilgrimage. Muslims around the world mark the occasion by performing special prayers, sharing festive meals, and distributing meat from sacrificial animals—typically sheep, goats, or cows—to family, friends, and those in need. The holiday emphasizes themes of faith, charity, and community, reinforcing the values of generosity and compassion.
