Eid al-Adha - interesting facts and information
- Celebration time: Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of the last (twelfth) month of the Muslim calendar, called Dhu al-Hijjah. It is also the period of Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, which every sane and prosperous Muslim should make at least once in his or her lifetime.
- Meaning: Eid al-Adha commemorates the story of the prophet Abraham (Ibrahim in Islam), who was ready to offer his son as a sacrifice to God. God, however, replaced his son with a ram, allowing Abraham to sacrifice the animal. The holiday is thus a symbol of readiness to give God everything that is most precious.
- Celebration: The centerpiece of Eid al-Adha celebrations is the sacrifice of an animal, usually a ram, cow or camel, depending on the region. The meat is usually divided into three parts - one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for the poor. The Eid prayer is also an important part of the celebration.
- Culinary traditions: Many cultures have special foods and recipes that are traditionally prepared on Eid al-Adha, usually from the meat of a sacrificial animal.
- Social and cultural significance: Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha is not only a time of spiritual reflection, but also has great social and cultural significance. It is a time for sharing with others, especially the needy.
