Muslims around the world mark Eid al-Adha to commemorate the sacrifice made by the Prophet Ibrahim when God asked him to give up his own son
MANILA, Philippines— Eid al-Adha marks the end of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Islam’s holiest sites in Saudi Arabia.
The feast, which is celebrated for 4 days, has distinct spiritual, educational and social significance for Muslims around the world.
Also known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” Eid al-Adha pays tribute to the willingness of Prophet Ibraham to sacrifice his son Ismail.
Eid al-Adha is one of the two greatest feasts of Islam, the other being Eid al-Fitr, which is also a regular holiday in the Philippines. The date of Eid al-Adha is based on the declaration made by Saudi Arabia’s highest religious body.
President Benigno Aquino III had earlier declared October 6, 2014, as a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid al-Adha.
