Hari Raya Idul Adha, also known as Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice, is a major Islamic holiday celebrated by Muslims around the world. It falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, and lasts for four days.
The holiday commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah (God). According to the Islamic tradition, Allah ultimately provided a lamb to sacrifice instead of Prophet Ibrahim's son, Ishmael.
During the holiday, Muslims typically gather together for prayers, listen to sermons, and sacrifice an animal, such as a sheep or a goat, to remember the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim. The meat is then distributed among family, friends, and the poor.
Hari Raya Idul Adha is a time for Muslims to reflect on the importance of sacrifice, obedience, and faith. It is also a time to strengthen family and community ties, and to show kindness and generosity to those in need.
