The festival commemorates God's gift of a ram in place of Isma'il
(Ishmael), whom God had commanded Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice. (In
Judaism and Christianity , the child in this story is Ishmael's
brother Isaac.)
The Devil tried to persuade Ibrahim to disobey God and not to
sacrifice his beloved son,but Ibrahim stayed absolutely obedient to
God and drove the devil away. Eid al-Adha is a celebration of this
supreme example of submission to God, which is the cornerstoneof the
Islamic faith ( islam means"submission").
Eid al-Adha Observances
On Eid al-Adha, families that can afford it sacrifice an animal such
as a sheep, goat, camel, or cow, and then divide the meat among
themselves, the poor, friends and neighbors. In Britain, the law
requires that this be done in a slaughterhouse. The sacrifice is
called Qurban . During the sacrifice, thefollowing prayer is recited:
In the name of Allah
And Allah is the greatest
O Allah, indeed this is from you and for you
O Allah accept it from me.
Eid al-Adha is a public holiday in Muslim countries. Like 'Id al-Fitr
,'Id Al-Adha begins with communal prayer at daybreak on its first
day,which takes place at the local mosque. Worshippers wear their
finest clothes for the occasion. It is also a timefor visiting friends
and family and for exchanging gifts.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
