It is lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months. Eid-al-Adha is celebrated on the 07<sup>th<\/sup> day of 12<sup>th<\/sup> and last month of \u201cDhu-al-Hijjah\u201d or Zulhijja. The date of the celebration of Eid-al-Adha may vary from country to country depending on the sighting of the moon.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eid-al-Adha_Meaning\"><\/span>Eid-al-Adha Meaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Arabic \u201cEid\u201d refers to a holiday and \u201cAdha\u201d is a reference to sacrifice. Hence, Eid-al-Adha means a holiday of sacrifice or more precisely, a festival of sacrifice. The festival is also commonly called \u201cBakrid\u201d in Indian sub continent, given to the sacrifice of \u201cBakra\u201d- Hindi word referring to a male goat.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Story_behind_Eid-al-Adha\"><\/span>Story behind Eid-al-Adha<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The story behind the celebration of Eid-al-Adha is a story named as \u2013 \u201cBinding of Isaac\u201d, stated in the Hebrew Bible, which is a collection of Jewish texts and Christian Old Testament.<\/p>\n<p>The story goes like this \u2013 One day God commands Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham was asked to do the sacrifice in the mountains of Moriah, located in present day Jerusalem. Though, some Muslim scholars believe that the sacrifice was commanded on the two small hills of Marwa and Safa, in the vicinity of Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>However, coming to the story \u2013 Abraham being an ardent disciple of Allah, readily agreed to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. Abraham travelled for three days, accompanied by Isaac and a servant to reach the mountain where God instructed him. Upon reaching the mountain, Abraham, instructed his servant to remain at the foot of the hill, while he along with Isaac moved on into the hills.<\/p>\n<p>The wood, upon which the sacrifice was to be made, was carried by Isaac himself. Not aware of his father\u2019s intention, Isaac asked latter that where the animal of sacrifice was. Abraham replied that God will provide the animal by himself. Just as Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, he was interrupted at the last moment by an angel of the lord.<\/p>\n<p>Abraham turned back and saw a ram entangled by his horns in the bush. He sacrificed the ram instead of Isaac. Allah was very pleased with the obedience of Abraham and gave him a boon of prosperity and descendents. Though, God also told Abraham that one should never sacrifice a human life in the name of God. This day of sacrifice is observed as Eid-al-Adha by Muslims around the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eid-al-Adha_History\"><\/span>Eid-al-Adha History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The story of Isaac\u2019s sacrifice was first mentioned in Hebrew Bible, which was composed around 8<sup>th<\/sup> to 1<sup>st<\/sup> century BCE. Abraham was an ancestor of Prophet Muhammad, who lived around 4000 years ago. Muslims believe that Prophet Abraham was instructed by Allah to build a shrine dedicated to him.<\/p>\n<p>Abraham along with Ishmael (Isaac) constructed a small cube for those who wanted to reinstate their faith in Allah. The cube was reportedly constructed before 628 CE, when Prophet Muhammad set out on a journey to Kaaba with his followers. Since then the ritual of animal sacrifice is being followed in commemoration to Prophet Abraham\u2019s obedience to the will of Allah.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eid-al-Adha_Rituals_and_Celebration\"><\/span>Eid-al-Adha Rituals and Celebration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Eid-al-Adha is reverently celebrated by the Muslims around the world.
