Eid al-Adha is one of the two blessed Eids that Muslims celebrate. It’s the second, longer Eid – lasting four days – and coincides with the end of the Hajj pilgrimage.
It commemorates the sacrifice made by the Prophet Ibrahim, on him be peace, who was willing to obey The Most Merciful and sacrifice his beloved son Ismail (AS), on God’s command. At the last moment, Ismail was spared and a ram was sacrificed in his place.
Today, Muslims around the globe slaughter an animal and share the meat with vulnerable people to honour Ibrahim and Ismail’s (AS) submission to God, an act that is also a sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ.
