Eid al-Adha or Eid-ul-Zuha 2022 is just around the corner. Eid al-Adha is known by different names, including Eid-al-Kabeer, Eid Qurbaan, Id al-Adha, Id-ul-Adha, Id-ul-Zuha, Feast of Sacrifice, Greater Eid, and Hari Raya Haji.
Every year, Eid al-Adha is observed 70 days after Eid al-Fitr (festival after Ramadan). Though all Muslim festivals are celebrated according to lunar sighting, Eid-ul-Adha falls on the 10th of Zul Hijjah. Zul Hijjah is the 12th and last month of the Islamic calendar. The duration of Bakra Eid is three days, during which Muslims offer animal sacrifices.
Eid al-Adha is celebrated to recognize and commemorate the obedience and loyalty of Prophet Ibrahim, who was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail to please his God. However, God was so impressed with his devotion that when Prophet Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son, God replaced him with a lamb. Muslims around the world perform animal sacrifices on Eid as a tribute to Prophet Ibrahim.
