eid el kabir

Eid al‑Kabir, also known as Eid al‑Adha (the “Greater Eid”), is the Islamic festival commemorating the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al‑Hijja, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, it coincides with the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Muslims worldwide perform a special prayer, sacrifice an animal (usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel), and distribute the meat—one third to the needy, one third to relatives, and one third for the family. The holiday emphasizes devotion, charity, and community. Views Nigeria
