Eid Al-Adha 2023: History And Significance
According to the Holy Quran, Prophet Ibrahim had a dream, in which God (Allah) had asked him to prove his devotion and love for Allah by sacrificing a thing dearest to him. Obeying his command, Prophet Ibrahim decided to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah.
Due to this, Allah was moved by the Prophet's willingness to demonstrate his devotion to Him, so He sent the angel Jibra'il or Gabriel to substitute a goat for Ibrahim's son. From that day onwards, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha by offering sacrifices of male goats, which are usually divided into three portions and there is a reason for it.
One piece is offered to the needy and impoverished, another portion is offered to friends and family, and the third share is set aside for family members. This event symbolizes the willingness to surrender to Allah's will, devotion, and submission.
