Eid al-Adha is an important Islamic festival celebrated by millions around the world. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Isma'il, as an act of obedience to God. Instead, God provided a ram to sacrifice, symbolizing mercy and faith. The festival occurs during the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, known as Dhu al-Hijjah. During Eid al-Adha, families gather for prayers, share festive meals, and perform the ritual sacrifice of an animal, usually a sheep, goat, or cow. The meat is then distributed among family, friends, and those in need, emphasizing the values of charity and community.
