The festival of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) is one of the most important events on the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the unshakable faith of the Prophet Ibrahim, who was all ready to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, in obedience to Allah’s command.
The festival takes place at the end of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, which is one of the five pillars of Islam.
