Muslims Around The World Are Celebrating Eid-ul-Adha

In honor of Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah (SWT) and willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, Muslims around the world celebrate Eid-ul-Adha.

The second of the two Islamic celebrations, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is celebrated annually all over the world.

Muslims approach God on this day by forfeiting a sheep, a cow, or a camel and sharing the meat to the poor. They come together to show love and pray with friends and family.

The Islamic lunar calendar celebrates Eid-ul-Adha on the tenth day of the twelfth month; following the completion of the annual Holy Pilgrimage of Hajj, which is an obligation for all Muslims, Dhul-Hijjah, which allows families, loved ones, and communities to bond, is contingent on a legitimate moonrise.

The command from Allah (SWT) is a test of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness and commitment to obey his Lord’s command, without question.

Ismail was replaced at the time of sacrifice by a ram, which was to be killed in his son’s place.

Therefore, the sacrificial animal during the celebration must be a sheep, lamb, goat, cow, bull, or camel; A bull, cow, or camel has seven shares, while the sheep, lamb, and goat each have one share. To be slaughtered in an Islamic manner that is “halal” friendly, the animal must be in good health and over a certain age.

After that, you can divide the meat into three equal portions for each share; one-third for the owner and their loved ones, one-third for friends, and the remaining one-third to be given to those in need.

Typically, the sacrifice is made following Eid prayers, which are said in a group at the nearest mosque on Eid morning.

The celebration of Eid-ul-Adha is to last for three days. Traditionally, the day is spent celebrating with family, friends and loved ones, often wearing new attire and the giving of gifts.

During this period, Muslims thanks Allah for seeing them through the year and prayed that their supplications, together with those who were able to embark on the journey to Hajj, would be answered.
