Eid ul-Adha is second in the series of Eid festivals
that Muslims celebrate. Eid ul-Adha is celebrated as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son for Allah.
On this day Muslims sacrifice animals which have been deemed
Halaal, or fit for sacrifice. They not only eat the meat themselves but distribute it
amongst their neighbours, relatives and the poor and hungry.
It is celebrated on the 10th day of the month of Hajj after the annual pilgrimage to
Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
