Eid al-Adha also called Feast of the Sacrifice, the Major Festival, the Greater
Eid is an important religious
holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of
the prophet Ibrahim
(Abraham) to sacrifice
his young first-born son Ismail
(Ishmael) as an act of submission to Allah's command and his son's acceptance to
being sacrificed, before Allah intervened to provide Abraham with a Lamb to sacrifice instead. In the lunar Islamic
calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days. In the
international Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from
year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
