What is eid adha mubarak?

Eid Al-Adha, also known as Eid Al-Adha Mubarak, is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Muslims around the world. It is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice and is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar.

Muslims commemorate Eid Al-Adha in honor of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God’s directive. Just as he was about to fulfill the sacrifice, God intervened and provided a lamb to be sacrificed instead.

On Eid Al-Adha, Muslims perform a special prayer called Eid prayer, which is usually performed early in the morning after sunrise. It is customary for Muslims to wear new clothes and exchange greetings and gifts with family and friends.

One of the main rituals of Eid Al-Adha is the sacrifice of an animal, usually a goat, cow, or sheep, to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. This meat is then divided into three parts - one third for the family, one third for relatives and friends, and one third for the less fortunate and needy.

Overall, Eid Al-Adha is a time for Muslims to reflect on the importance of sacrifice, share their blessings with others, and strengthen their connection with God.
