EID-UL-ADHA, EID-UL-AZHA

HISTORY OF ORIGIN

°•~ One of the main trials of Abraham's life was to face the command of God by sacrificing his beloved son. In Islam, Abraham kept having dreams that he was sacrificing his son Ishmael. Abraham knew that this was a command from God and he told his son, as stated in the Quran "Oh son, I keep dreaming that I am slaughtering you", Ishmael replied "Father, do what you are ordered to do." 
Acknowledging that Abraham was willing to sacrifice what is dear to him, God the almighty honoured both Abraham and Ishmael. Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) called Abraham "O' Abraham, you have fulfilled the revelations." and a lamb from heaven was offered by Angel Gabriel to prophet Abraham to slaughter instead of Ishmael. Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid al Adha to commemorate both the devotion of Abraham and the survival of Ishmael.

What is Eid-ul-Adha?

~• It is also known as the "feast of the sacrifice" is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year .It honours the willingness of IBRAHIM (Abraham) to sacrifice his son ISMAEL is an act of obedience to GOD's command. But, before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead.In commemoration of this intervention, an animal, is sacrificed RITUALLY.

Purpose of sacrifice in Eid-ul-Adha

~•  The purpose of sacrifice in Eid al-Adha is not about shedding of blood just to satisfy Allah. It is about sacrificing something devotees love the most to show their devotion to Allah. It is also obligatory to share the meat of the sacrificed animal in three equivalent parts – for family, for relatives and friends, and for poor people. The celebration has a clear message of devotion, kindness and equality. It is said that the meat will not reach to Allah, nor will the blood, but what reaches him is the devotion of devotees.
