What is the story of Eid ul-Adha?
Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid ul Adha to remember the sacrifice that Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) made because of his everlasting trust in Allah.
Prophet Ismail (A.S.) was willingly offered as a sacrifice by Ibrahim (AS), but Allah substituted a lamb for his son. Ibrahim’s (A.S.) obedience to Allah pleased Him so much that He set this act of faith and sacrifice as a pillar of a Muslim’s life. The Quran mentions this incident in Surah As-Saffat (37:102).
For this reason, Muslims worldwide commemorate Eid ul Azha on the tenth of Dhul Hijjah each year. Muslims sacrifice a lamb, sheep, goat, or camel on this day in remembrance of Ibrahim (AS).
Both Eid al Fitr and Eid Al-Adha hold great significance in Islam, as indicated by the following Hadith of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.):
“Allah has given you better than those feasts (festivals of non-believers): the ‘Eid-ul-Adha’ and ‘Eid-ul-Fitr.’”
(An-Nasai: 1556)
Eid al-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr are prohibited for fasting, as the following Hadiths of our beloved Prophet (S.A.W.) make clear:
“No fasting is permissible on the two days of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.”
