Asalamu alaykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuu.
Today is a day of manifest, a day of happiness, love and the only day that conveniently brings together family and friends to share love. Today is Eid AL adha also called Eid al kabir, sallah and ileya festival.
May Allah make this day a fruitful one, grant us goodness in this dunnya (world) and akhirah (life after) and make us Muslims and muhseen's till the end of time. Amin.
Would use this medium to take you through a brief about this festival (Eid al adha). Happy Eid al adha.
Eid al-Adha
(Arabic: عيد الأضحى ʿīd al-aḍḥā,[ʕiːd ælˈʔɑdˤħæː], "Festival of the Sacrifice"), also called the "Sacrifice Feast" or "Bakr-Eid", is the second of two Muslim holidays celebrated worldwide each year, and considered the holier of the two. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, as an act of submission to God's command, before God then intervened sending his angel Jibra'il (Gabriel) and informs him that his sacrifice has already been accepted. The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts. The family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy.
In the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid al-Adhafalls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days until the 13th day.[4] In the international (Gregorian) calendar, the dates vary from year to year drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-Fitr. The word "Eid" appears once in Al-Ma'ida, the fifth sura of the Quran, with the meaning "solemn festival".[5]
Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with asunnah prayer of two rakats followed by a sermon (khutbah). Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hujjaj, the pilgrims performing the Hajj, from Mount Arafat , a hill east of Mecca. Eid sacrifice may take place until sunset on the 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah.[6] The days of Eid have been singled out in the Hadith as "days of remembrance" and considered the holiest days in the Islamic Calendar. The takbir (days) of Tashriq are from the Maghrib prayer of the 29th of Dhul-Qadah up to theMaghrib prayer of the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah (thirteen days and nights).
Happy Eid al kabir, may we live long to witness more. Barakallahufikum. Amin.
