EID AL- ADHA

Eid-Al-Adha is one of the major holidays of

Islam. According to Muslim tradition, it

celebrates the sacrifice that Abraham was

willing to make of his own son Ishmael when he

was commanded to show his commitment to

Allah.

EID-AL-ADHA

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2013

Eid Al-Adha takes place on the 10th and last

day of the Hajj, the celebration of holy

pilgrimage to Mecca, in the 12th month of the

Islamic lunar calendar.

Often times, fried liver is served for breakfast,

while the rest of the animal constitutes meals

for lunch and dinner. Cooking techniques and

recipes vary from one country to another. In

the Arab world, one of the basic ways to cook

mutton is to braise it with plenty of garlic,

cumin and onion over a slow fire. 

During Eid al-Adha, men, women and

children dress in their finest attire, and

those who can afford to sacrifice an entire

halal animal.  

Often a sheep or a cow, and in some

regions a camel — and donate the meat

to neighbors and those who are less

fortunate. The meat from the sacrificed

animal is divided into three parts.
