Eid al-Adha is one of the two feasts for Muslims (and the other is Eid al-Fitr ), which coincides with the Day of Dhu al-Hijjah 10 after the end of the pause on the day of Arafat , the position in which Muslim pilgrims stand to perform the most important rituals of Hajj , and ends on the 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah . This holiday is also a memorial to the story of Abraham, peace be upon him, when he saw a vision in which God commanded him to sacrifice his son Ishmael , and after believing his son and his vision of the vision, God then ordered him to sacrifice a sacrifice in place of his son, so Muslims are approaching God on this day by sacrificing a cattle ( sheep or cow) , Or camel ) and the distribution of sacrificial meat On the relatives, the poor and their household, hence the name Eid al-Adha.
It is also Sunnah on Eid that all Muslims participate in attending Eid prayers.
After performing the Eid prayer, people go to their homes in preparation to congratulate the family and relatives, receive the guests , all family members meet, the sheep are slaughtered , sweets are served with coffee and Eid lunch, these are the customs of many Islamic countries.
