Eid-ul-Azha, also known as the festival of sacrifice. It is one of the two major Islamic holidays, the other being Eid-uL-Fitr. It commemorate the willingness of prophet Ibrahim AS to sacrifice his son prophet Ismail AS in obedience to ALLAH command. Muslim around the world perform the ritual sacrifice of an animal goat🐐, sheep 🐏, cow 🐮 or camel 🐫. The meat from the sacrifice is divided into three parts, one third for family, one third for the relative, one third for the needy. The day begin with a special prayer at masjids or open grounds. After Qurbani, meat is distributed in family, neighbors, relatives , and needy. The act of distribution the meat symbolizes the importance of helping the less fortunate and share blessings. Families and friends come together to celebrate and enjoy EID. Eid-ul-Azha coincide with the Hajj. The annual pilgrimage to MECCA, which is one of the five pillars of Islam.

Listen to the Khutbah following the prayer. participate in sacrifice of an animal ( if financially or logistically feasible). Distribute the meat according to the tradition. Ensure the acts of Sadaqah. Prepare and enjoy special meals. Spend time in prayer and reflection, giving thanks for blessings and remembering the significance of the day.

🐄 Are you sacrificing animals this Eid? What amount is being spent or will be? |
|---|
Goat 🐐, sheep 🐏, cow 🐮 and camel 🐫 are commonly sacrificed. Small animal like goat and sheep is less expensive but large animals like cows and camel are more expensive. Prices vary significantly depends on country and local market. The health, size, and breed of the animal can also affect the price. In many countries, people spend their money's for the sacrificial animals. It's also common for families to pool their resources to purchase larger animal especially cow 🐄 and camel 🐫 which are shared among several household. The act of sacrifice is not just about the expenditure but about fulfilling a religious obligation and sharing with others.
🗣️ Share your advice on how to find out about your poor relatives this Eid. |
|---|
Regularly keep in touch with relatives, especially those you suspect might be in need. Casual conversation can reveal their financial situation. Gently ask mutual relatives or friends about well being of those who might be struggling. Pat attention to sign such as sudden changes in lifestyle, children needs, or financial stress. Offer help in a way that doesn't highlight their financial situation. Invite them to your home for meals and celebration. Make it a habit to check in on relatives regularly, not just during Eid. By approaching the situation with empathy, sensitivity and respect you can ensure that your support is both effective and appreciated helping to make Eid-uL-Azha a joyful occasion for all.
