“May you and your family be blessed on this glorious day.”
Eid al-Adha is also known as the “Celebration of Offering” one of the most important occassions in Muslim Calendar that is celebrated on the tenth day of Dhū al-Hijjah or the month of pilgrimage (hajj), in the twelfth and final month of the lunar-based Islamic calendar and celebrated by Muslims worldwide for three to four days.
Eid al-Adha, the Day of Sacrifice marks the climax of Hajj or Pilgrimage, the fifth pillar of Islam.
Muslims will attend special prayers in Mosques and Islamic Centers throughout the world wearing new clothes and have some exchange gifts.
The Feast of Sacrifice originates from the historic event when Prophet Abraham was commanded by God in a dream vision to sacrifice his son, Ishmail. While he was in the act of sacrificing his son, God sent the Angel Gabriel with a huge ram. Gabriel informed Abraham that his dream vision was fulfilled and instructed him to sacrifice the ram as a ransom for his son. The story is mentioned in Chapter #37 of the Holy Qur’an.
