Eid al-Adha, also known as Id-ul-Zuha or festival of sacrifice, is an important Muslim festival. It honors the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command.
Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah in the Islamic lunar calendar and lasts for three days. However, in the Islamic calendar, a new day starts at dawn, so the festival crosses four days in the Gregorian calendar. The celebrations vary in different countries, but they can last anywhere from two to four days.
Eid al-Adha is one of the core Islamic holidays of the Islamic faith. As known as the Festival of Sacrifice, it is a time to show deep appreciation and personal sacrifice. Many Muslims donate to charities and help those in need during the holiday, a great opportunity to show graciousness and a connection to God.
Some Muslims go to the holy land Mecca in Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj when Eid al-Adha starts, and many others who cannot make the trip to Mecca celebrate where they live by going to the mosques for special prayers and by enjoying the meals and celebrations with families and friends.
Eid al-Adha is called Hari Raya Haji in Malaysia.
