How do people celebrate Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Adha is celebrated by Muslims worldwide with communal prayer and animal sacrifice. It begins on the 10th day of the lunar month of Dhul-Hijja, the last month of the Islamic calendar, and lasts for three to four days¹. The celebration of Eid al-Adha begins with a special prayer, ‘Salat al-Eid’, followed by a sermon called a khutbah⁵. Traditionally, this is followed by the sacrifice. The rest of the day is devoted to visiting the houses of friends and family. Worshippers exchange the traditional Arabic greeting, ‘Eid Mubarak’ (‘have a blessed Eid’) and swap gifts⁵.

During Eid al-Adha, those who can afford to sacrifice a ritually acceptable animal (sheep, goat, camel, or cow) do so and then divide the flesh equally among themselves, the poor, and friends and neighbors⁴.

What is the significance of sacrificing animals during Eid al-Adha?

The significance of sacrificing an animal during Eid al-Adha is to remember the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his son, to give thanks to Allah for the life he has given us, and to ensure that even those who can’t afford meat get plenty of it at least once a year¹. The sacrifice is mandatory in Islam only for those who can afford it. They have to give a third of the meat to the poor and the needy¹.

The act symbolizes our willingness to give up things that are of benefit to us or close to our hearts, in order to follow Allah's commands. It also symbolizes our willingness to give up some of our own bounties, in order to strengthen ties of friendship and help those who are in need⁶.
