Eid-al-Adha or the “festival of sacrifice” is the most celebrated festival in the Muslim calendar. The festival remembers Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son when God asked him to. Gifting during Eid-al-Adha entails a part of the sacrifice, and Eidi, which is the monetary gift that elders give to children, is a part of the festival.<\/p>\n

Eid-al-Adha is also translated as a “festival of slaughter,” and comes at the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.\u00a0Traditionally, animals like sheep, goats, or cows are slaughtered, often with a group of neighbors or members of an extended family. The meat is then distributed among family, friends, and the needy in the community.<\/p>\n

A brief history of\u00a0 Eid Al Adha<\/h2>\n

Eid Al Adha is the commemoration of the Islamic prophet Hazrat Ibrahim’s true devotion and dedication to Allah. The occasion is meant to honor the holy sacrifice of his son that Ibrahim was more than willing to make for Allah.<\/p>\n

The history of the day started when Ibrahim started having recurring dreams of him laying his son, Ismael’s life to please Allah. Ismael, who was also a true devotee of Allah willfully agreed to be sacrificed to comply with the wishes of Allah.<\/p>\n

On their way, the Devil or Shaytan tried to persuade them against taking such a decision. But Ibrahim decided against the Devil’s wishes and chased him with stones. This is considered a significant act and serves as the reason why there are certain pillars in Mecca where people still throw pebbles during Hajj. This practice is carried out in the memory of Ibrahim.<\/p>\n

Allah was greatly pleased when he saw their devotion towards him. He honored them both. He sent Gibril Alaisalam, his messenger from Heaven with a lamb to be slaughtered in place of Ismael.<\/p>\n

Eid Al Adha hereby commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s limitless trust and devotion towards Allah. So devoted was he that he was willing to sacrifice his own son to fulfill Allah’s desire.<\/p>\n

How is Eid Al Adha celebrated?<\/h2>\n

Traditionally during Eid Al Adha, a lamb is slaughtered for the feast. The meat is then divided into three parts, one is given to the family, the second is distributed among the neighbors and relatives and the third is distributed among the poor.<\/p>\n

Delicacies are made out of the meat acquired and are enjoyed by everyone. Eid Al Adha does not only memorialize the great sacrifice that has been recorded in the scriptures but also acts as the thread of tradition that binds the family together in an ever-lasting bond.<\/p>\n

Significance of Eid Al Adha<\/h2>\n

Apart from the willingness to sacrifice, Eid Al Adha celebrates Ismael and Ibrahim’s love for Allah.\u00a0 The sacrifice is meant as a gesture that means one is willing to give up on anything for Allah. It is the sacrifice of what one loves the most for God.<\/p>\n

In memory of the sheep sent by Allah, Muslims all over the globe sacrifice a sheep or a goat in the spirit of sacrifice. It is obligatory for the meat to be distributed among the family, relatives, and the poor.<\/p>\n

In this way, the festival spreads the message of brotherhood and humanity among the masses.<\/p>\n

It is often believed that though the meat and the blood do not reach Allah, the devotion of his people do.<\/p>\n

When is Eid Al Adha this year?<\/h2>\n

Eid Al Adha is observed on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijah, the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. This year Eid Al Adha starts on the 30th of July and ends on the 2nd of August.<\/p>\n
