Eid-ul-Adha
Eid-ul-Adha is an important Islamic festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Isma'il (Ishmael) in obedience to God's command. The festival occurs on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and coincides with the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.
During Eid-ul-Adha, families gather for prayers at mosques or open fields, followed by the ritual sacrifice of an animal, usually a sheep, goat, or cow. The meat is then divided into three parts: one-third for the family, one-third for relatives and friends, and one-third for those in need, promoting charity and community spirit.
