One of the most important Islamic holidays, Eid-ul-Adha, is observed with piety and charity. This day honors Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham's) readiness to sacrifice his son at Allah's direction. It also highlights the significance of commitment to God and selflessness. The sacrifice of a bovine, typically a goat, sheep, cow, or camel, is one of the main customs of Eid ul-Adha. Then, three portions of the sacrificial animal's meat are separated: one for the family, one for friends and family, and one for the less fortunate. May you strengthen your faith and become closer to your family on this holy day. Happy Eid Mubarak!
