Eid al-Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice is the second and the largest of the two main holidays celebrated in Islam. It honours the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, as an act of obedience to God’s command. All the people of the Muslim community first offer prayers to Allah in the morning and few people even visit Mecca during Eid to seek blessings of Allah. After completing the prayer rituals, the ritual of sacrifice is performed. People then exchange greetings, and gifts and distribute food, clothes, and money to the needy and poor people.
