Eid- ul- Adha is an important festival of Muslims. They celebrate this festival for three days in which prayers are offered in the mosque, new clothes are worn by the Muslims and greetings are exchanged. It is celebrated on the last day of Hajj which is a pilgrimage to holy Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
This festival of sacrifice is celebrated because Prophet Ibrahim agreed to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience. The devil enticed Ibrahim to save his son and not obey Allah’s command. Ibrahim didn’t pay any heed to the devil's evil thoughts and was about to sacrifice his son. As Ibrahim was going to kill his son to prove his devotion towards the Almighty, an angel appeared and presented a lamb to be killed instead of his son. Therefore, on this day Muslims perform an act called ‘Qurbani’, in which they sacrifice an adult and healthy animal which can be a goat, sheep, cow or a camel. The meat of the sacrificed animal is then shared among friends, family and the destitute.
The Islamic community all over the world will pray, exchange gifts and feast together.
