Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is a significant Islamic festival that commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, Ismail (Isaac), as an act of obedience to God. It is celebrated for three days, starting on the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah. During this time, Muslims offer a sacrifice, typically a goat or sheep, and distribute the meat to family, friends, and those in need.
