eid el kabir

Eid al‑Kabir, also called Eid al‑Adha or the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is the major Islamic holiday commemorating Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. It occurs on the 10th day of Dhu al‑Hijja, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and lasts up to four days. Muslims worldwide perform special prayers, give charity (zakat al‑fidya), and sacrifice an animal (usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel), sharing the meat with family, friends, and the needy. The date shifts each year by about 10‑11 days in the Gregorian calendar. Views Nigeria
