Eid Ul Adha is one of the most sacred religious festivals celebrated by Muslims around the world. It is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, and it is celebrated to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim or Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to Allah. However, Allah provided a sheep to be sacrificed instead. The act of sacrifice is an integral part of this celebration, and it symbolizes the willingness of Muslims to devote their lives to the service of Allah.
