Celebrating the Festival of Sacrifice

In remembrance of his readiness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God, Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is honoured on Eid al-Adha, one of the holiest days in the Islamic calendar. The festival starts with congratulations, prayers and offering of gratitude to God. Muslims came in their new clothes to pray for guidance and forgiveness. In the khutba, discourses are given that stress the value of selflessness, community, and sacrifice. It's a chance to offer gratitude for one's life and count on one's many blessings.

After the prayers, everyone exchanges warm greetings with their loved ones. They arrange gatherings to keep strengthening their links to family and community. If you are overseas you can take part in this joyous occasion by sharing your love and money with your family. On Bakra Eid 2023 send money to your family so that they can purchase an affordable animal to sacrifice. This is a period when individuals put an emphasis on making forgiveness and restoring peace with one another.

During Eid al-Adha, it is traditional to slaughter an animal in honour of God. Typically, a goat, sheep, or cow is sacrificed. All Muslims might find inspiration for their own submission to God's will in Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. The meat from the sacrificed animal is shared between the poor, close family and friends, and the family themselves. Everyone, even the less fortunate can take part in this occasion and have a nice festive meal due to Eid ul Adha.
