Millions of Muslims around the globe are celebrating Eid ul Adha, a three to four-day event celebrated at the end of the Hajj season, in which people from all social classes hold large gatherings and offer meat to the needy, by sacrificing, either goat, cow, sheep or camel in the name of God.

Also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, Eid ul Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) readiness to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) in obedience to the Al-Mighty.
