Eid-el-Kabir (also known as Eid al-Adha or the “Greater Eid”) is a major Islamic festival celebrated globally to honor Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God.
It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s absolute faith and submission to Allah, who provided a ram to be sacrificed instead of his son.
