Eid ul-Adha: The Festival of Sacrifice


 Eid ul-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant Islamic celebrations. It honors Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham's) unwavering devotion to God, as he was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to divine command. However, at the last moment, God replaced his son with a ram, symbolizing mercy and faith.

Muslims around the world observe this festival by performing special prayers, sacrificing animals (such as goats, sheep, or camels), and distributing the meat among family, friends, and those in need. The celebration also marks the conclusion of Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca.

This year, Eid ul-Adha falls on June 6, 2025, though the exact date may vary depending on the country. It's a time of reflection, generosity, and togetherness.
