What is Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Adha is one of the two blessed Eids celebrated by Muslims. On Eid al-Adha we remember the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
In remembrance of his sacrifice, and to help the poor and needy, we give our own sacrifice of Qurbani.
Sacrifice on Eid al-Adha
Following the Eid prayer on the first day of Eid al-Adha, we start to offer the sacrifice of Qurbani, to remember the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to Allah SWT.
A portion of this meat (from a sheep, goat, cow or camel) then goes to help our brothers and sisters in need.
Observances on Eid al-Adha
As with any festival and important occasion, we follow the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
There are various Sunnah acts of worship you can do on the day of Eid. Discover the Sunnah acts of worship here.
