Eid-Ul-Adha is the Festival of Sacrifice, celebrated on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic calendar. It's the holier of the two Eids and commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham's) willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah's command.
The name "Eid al-Adha" means "Festival of Sacrifice." Before Allah allowed the sacrifice to proceed, He provided a ram to be sacrificed instead. This act of complete submission to Allah's will is remembered and honored by Muslims worldwide.
On this day, those who can afford it perform Qurbani—the ritual sacrifice of an animal such as a sheep, goat, cow, or camel. The meat is divided into three parts: one third for the family, one third for relatives and friends, and one third for those in need.
Eid al-Adha coincides with the completion of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. While pilgrims perform their sacrifice in Mina, Muslims around the world join in this act of worship.
