    Eid al-Adha

    Let’s Begin
    What’s The Difference Between
    Eid Al-Fitr And Eid Al-Adha?

    The Islamic calendar follows the 12-month lunar calendar


    which the dates of both Eids change each year, but Eid al-
    Adha is always a little over two months after Eid al-
    Fitr. On both Eids, many Muslims will go to special
    prayers at their local mosque and have a day of
    celebrations with family and friends.
    What’s Eid
    al-Adha?
    Let’s Begin
    Eid Al-Adha
    Eid Al-Adha is the second and biggest of the two official holidays which are
    celebrated within Islam (the other being Eid al-Fitr). It honors the willingness
    of Ibrahim (Abraham) to Sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of
    obedience to Allah’s command. Before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son,
    however, God provided him with a lamb which he was supposed to kill in his
    son's place. In commemoration of this intervention, animals are ritually
    slaughtered. One third of their meat is consumed by the family which offers
    the animal, while the rest of the meat is distributed to the poor and the needy.
    Sweets and gifts are given, and extended family members are typically
    visited and welcomed. The day is also sometimes called Big Eid or the
    Greater Eid.
    Why Do We
    Celebrate Eid Al-
    Adha?
    Eid al-Adha is also known as
    the Festival of Sacrifice. It
    celebrates a story about a
    prophet called Ibrahim
    (Abraham). Allah (God) told
    Ibrahim he had to sacrifice his
    son Ishamel to prove his faith.
    Hadith
    "I was present for Eid with Umar
    bin Khattab. He started with the
    prayer before the sermon, and
    said: 'The Messenger of Allah
    (saw) forbade fasting on these
    two days, the Day of Fitr and the
    Day of Adha. As for the Day of
    Fitr, it is the day when you break
    your fast, and on the Day of Adha
    you eat the meat of your
    sacrifices.'" Sahih
    Thank You!
    Happy Eid Al-Adha
