Eid-ul-Zuha is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar. It marks the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. The day is also known as Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice.
On Eid-ul-Zuha, Muslims slaughter an animal, such as a sheep, goat, or cow, to commemorate the sacrifice that Abraham was willing to make of his son, Ishmael. The meat is then divided into three parts: one part is given to the poor, one part is given to family and friends, and one part is kept for the family.
Eid-ul-Zuha is a time of celebration and feasting. Muslims wear new clothes, visit family and friends, and give gifts. They also attend special prayers at mosques.
