Özet

Eid al-Adha, also known as Eid Kurban or the Festival of Sacrifice, is an important Islamic holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. However, before Ibrahim could carry out the sacrifice, God provided a ram to be sacrificed instead. Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhu alHijjah, following the completion of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. The date of the holiday is based on the Islamic lunar calendar, so it changes each year according to the Gregorian calendar. During Eid al-Adha, Muslims typically gather for congregational prayers in mosques or open prayer grounds. Special prayers, known as Salat al-Eid, are performed, followed by a sermon (khutbah) by the imam. After the prayers, Muslims celebrate with family and friends, exchange greetings and gifts, and partake in festive meals. The highlight of Eid al-Adha is the sacrifice of an animal, typically a sheep, goat, cow, or camel, symbolizing Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts: one-third is given to the poor and needy, one-third is shared with friends and family, and one-third is kept for the household. Eid al-Adha is a time of gratitude, reflection, and generosity. It serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God and selflessness. It also fosters a sense of community and encourages Muslims to care for those in need.
