Eid-ul-Adha

Eid-ul-Adha

This is the other big festival every year. It coincides with the Hajj. It is to remember the time when Abraham was going to sacrifice his own son to prove obedience to God. Muslims consider that Abraham was a prophet or messenger from God. Again they go to the mosque together for prayers. Later in the day they sacrifice a sheep and give one third of the meat away to remember Abraham's sacrifice.
