Today on July 10, 2022, the followers of Islam all over the world are celebrating the holy occasion of Eid-Al-Adha. It is one of the two major Muslim festivals, the other being Eid-al-Fitr.
Eid-Al-Adha is celebrated across the world and it honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God's command. But before that could happen, God provided a lamb as a sacrifice instead.
Therefore, on this day, an animal, usually a goat or sheep, is sacrificed ritually and divided into three parts. One share is given to the poor and needy, another is kept for home, and the third is given to relatives.
