To my non-Muslim brethren, Eid al-Adha is one of only two universally celebrated events in Islam, the other, Eid al-Fitr, concludes the Holy month of Ramadan. Translated as “the Festival of Sacrifice”, Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (or Abraham's), complete submission to what he believed was Allah’s command to sacrifice Ishmael, his first born son, may peace be upon them. Having demonstrated his willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice, Ibrahim was stopped at the last moment from carrying out the slaughter, thereby proving to himself the strength of his faith. In addition, Eid al-Adha brings to a close the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, the largest of its kind, comprising of more than three million worshippers.
Masalaama, Peace be with You
