Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عÙد اÙأضØÙâ, romanized: Ê¿Ä«d al-ʾaá¸á¸¥Ä, lit.'Feast of the Sacrifice', IPA: [ÊiËd ælËÊÉdˤħæË]) or Eid Qurban (Persian: عÙد ÙرباÙâ), also called the 'Festival of the Sacrifice', is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year (the other being Eid al-Fitr), and considered the holier of the two. It honours the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command. But, before Abraham could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead. In commemoration of this intervention, an animal is sacrificed ritually and divided into three parts. One share is given to the poor and needy, another is kept for home, and the third is given to relatives.
In the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, and lasts for three days. In the international (Gregorian) calendar, the dates vary from year to year shifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
Other names[edit]
In languages other than Arabic, the name is often simply translated into the local language, such as English Feast of the Sacrifice, German Opferfest, Dutch Offerfeest, RomanianSÄrbÄtoarea Sacrificiului, and HungarianÃldozati ünnep. In Spanish it is known as Fiesta del Cordero[4] or Fiesta del Borrego (both meaning 'festival of the lamb'). In Kurdish it is known as (Cejna Qurbanê / جÛÚÙÛ ÙÙرباÙ). It is also known as Eid Qurban (عÛد ÙرباÙ) in Persian speaking countries such as Afghanistan and Iran, Kurban Bayramı[5][6] in Turkey,[7]à¦à§à¦°à¦¬à¦¾à¦¨à§à¦° à¦à¦¦ in Bangladesh, as عÛد اÙÙبÙر the big Feast in the Maghreb, as Iduladha, Hari Raya Aiduladha, Hari Raya Haji or Qurban in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines, as بکرا عÛد 'Goat Eid' or بÚÛ Ø¹Ûد 'Greater Eid' in India and Pakistan, Bakara Eid in Trinidad and Tobago, as Tabaski or Tobaski in The Gambia, Guinea, and Senegal (most probably borrowed from the Serer language â and an ancient Serer religious festival[8][9][10][11]), and as Odún Iléyá by the Yorúbà people of Nigeria[12][13][14][15]

Etymology[edit]
The word عÙد (Ê¿Ä«d) means 'festival', 'celebration', 'feast day', or 'holiday'. Mortal kombat the game. It itself is a triliteral root âعÙدâ with associated root meanings of 'to go back, to rescind, to accrue, to be accustomed, habits, to repeat, to be experienced; appointed time or place, anniversary, feast day.'[19][20]Arthur Jeffery contests this etymology, and believes the term to have been borrowed into Arabic from Syriac, or less likely Targumic Aramaic.[21]
The words أضØÙ (aá¸á¸¥Ä) and Ùربا٠(qurbÄn) are synonymous in meaning 'sacrifice' (animal sacrifice), 'offering' or 'oblation'. The first word comes from the triliteral root ضØÙ (á¸aḥḥÄ) with associated meanings of 'immolate ; offer up ; sacrifice ; victimize.'[22] No occurrence of this root with a meaning related to sacrifice occurs in the Qur'an[19] but in the Hadith literature. Arab Christians use the term to mean the Eucharistic host. The second word derives from the triliteral root ââÙربââ (qaraba) with associated meanings of 'closeness, proximity.. to moderate; kinship..; to hurry; ..to seek, to seek water sources..; scabbard, sheath; small boat; sacrifice.'[20]Arthur Jeffery recognizes the same Semitic root, but believes the sense of the term to have entered Arabic through Aramaic.[21] Compare Hebrew korbanקָר×× (qorbÄn).
Origin[edit]
One of the main trials of Ibrahim's life was to face the command of God to sacrifice his dearest possession, his son.[7] The earliest Islamic traditions identify Ismaâil (Ishmael) as the son who was sacrificed. Upon hearing this command, Abraham prepared to submit to the will of God.[23] During this preparation, Shaytaan (the Devil) tempted Abraham and his family by trying to dissuade them from carrying out God's commandment, and Ibraham drove Satan away by throwing pebbles at him. In commemoration of their rejection of Satan, stones are thrown at symbolic pillars during the Stoning of the Devil during Hajj rites.[24]
When Ibraham attempted to cut his son's throat on mount Arafat,[23] he was astonished to see that his son was unharmed and instead, he found an animal[7] which was slaughtered. Ibraham had passed the test by his willingness to carry out God's command.[25][26]
This story is known as the Akedah in Judaism (Binding of Isaac) and originates in the Torah,[27] the first book of Moses (Genesis, Ch. 22). The Quran refers to the Akedah as follows:[28]
100 'O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!'
101 So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear. 102 Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: 'O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!' (The son) said: 'O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me if Allah so wills one practicing Patience and Constancy!' 103 So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), 104 We called out to him 'O Ibraham! 105 'Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!' â thus indeed do We reward those who do right. 106 For this was obviously a trialâ 107 And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice: 108 And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times: 109 'Peace and salutation to Abraham!' 110 Thus indeed do We reward those who do right. 111 For he was one of our believing Servants. 112 And We gave him the good news of Isaac â a prophet â one of the Righteous.
The word 'Eid' appears once in Al-Ma'ida, the fifth sura of the Quran, with the meaning 'solemn festival'.[30]
Eid prayers[edit]
Eid prayer at the Badshahi Mosque
Devotees offer the Eid al-Adha prayers at the mosque. The Eid al-Adha prayer is performed any time after the sun completely rises up to just before the entering of Zuhr time, on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah. In the event of a force majeure (e.g. natural disaster), the prayer may be delayed to the 11th of Dhu al-Hijjah and then to the 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah.[31]
Eid prayers must be offered in congregation. Participation of women in the prayer congregation varies from community to community.[32] It consists of two rakats (units) with seven takbirs in the first Raka'ah and five Takbirs in the second Raka'ah. For Shia Muslims, Salat al-Eid differs from the five daily canonical prayers in that no adhan (call to prayer) or iqama (call) is pronounced for the two Eid prayers.[33][34] The salat (prayer) is then followed by the khutbah, or sermon, by the Imam.
At the conclusion of the prayers and sermon, Muslims embrace and exchange greetings with one another (Eid Mubarak), give gifts and visit one another. Many Muslims also take this opportunity to invite their non-Muslim friends, neighbours, co-workers and classmates to their Eid festivities to better acquaint them about Islam and Muslim culture.[35]
Traditions and practices[edit]
Cookies of Eid (ma'amoul)
During Eid al-Adha, distributing meat amongst the people, chanting the takbir out loud before the Eid prayers on the first day and after prayers throughout the three days of Eid, are considered essential parts of this important Islamic festival.[36]
The takbir consists of:[37]
Men, women, and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing to perform Eid prayer in a large congregation in an open waqf ('stopping') field called Eidgah or mosque. Affluent Muslims who can afford it sacrifice their best halal domestic animals (usually a cow, but can also be a camel, goat, sheep, or ram depending on the region) as a symbol of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only son.[38] The sacrificed animals, called aá¸á¸¥iya (Arabic: أضØÙØ©â), known also by the Perso-Arabic term qurbÄni, have to meet certain age and quality standards or else the animal is considered an unacceptable sacrifice.[39] In Pakistan alone nearly ten million animals are slaughtered on Eid days costing over US$2.0 billion.[40]
The meat from the sacrificed animal is preferred to be divided into three parts. The family retains one-third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends, and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy.[38]
Muslims wear their new or best clothes. Women cook special sweets, including ma'amoul (filled shortbread cookies). They gather with family and friends.[31]
Eid al-Adha in the Gregorian calendar[edit]
While Eid al-Adha is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar. The lunar calendar is approximately eleven days shorter than the solar calendar.[41] Each year, Eid al-Adha (like other Islamic holidays) falls on one of about two to four different Gregorian dates in different parts of the world, because the boundary of crescent visibility is different from the International Date Line.
The following list shows the official dates of Eid al-Adha for Saudi Arabia as announced by the Supreme Judicial Council. Future dates are estimated according to the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia.[1] The Umm al-Qura is just a guide for planning purposes and not the absolute determinant or fixer of dates. Confirmations of actual dates by moon sighting are applied on the 29th day of the lunar month prior to Dhu al-Hijjah[42] to announce the specific dates for both Hajj rituals and the subsequent Eid festival. The three days after the listed date are also part of the festival. The time before the listed date the pilgrims visit the Mount Arafat and descend from it after sunrise of the listed day.
In many countries, the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality.
