Eid al-Adha is the Muslim festival marking the culmination of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca and commemorating the sacrifice of Abraham.
Eid al-Adha also called the 'Festival of Sacrifice', is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year (the other being Eid ul-Fitr), and considered the holier of the two. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim(R.A) (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God’s command. Before Abraham could sacrifice his son, God provided a ram to sacrifice instead.
In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts:
1. One third of the share is given to the poor and needy.
2. Another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors.
3. And the remaining third is retained by the family.
It’s a day of rejoice and bliss,
It’s a day of blessing and peace,
It’s a day to reflect and ponder,
It’s a day to celebrate together!
As Allah waters his creation,
May he also sprinkle his wondrous blessings over you and your beloved ones.
May the day delight,
And the moments measure all the special joys,
For all of you to treasure,
May the year ahead,
Be fruitful too,
For your home and family,
And specially for you,
~ I Wish You a Very Happy and Peaceful Eid al-Adha. May Allah accept your good deeds,
forgive your transgressions and sins and ease the suffering of all peoples around the globe.
~ E-Embrace with open heart
I-Inculcate good deeds
D-Distribute & share Allah’s bounties with the underprivileged.
~When my arms can’t reach people close to my heart, I always hug them with my prayers.
May Allah’s peace be with you. A very happy Eid Mubarak TO YOU!
Eid Mubarik To whole of the mankind!
Happy Eid ul Azha to all Humanity!
