Eid-ul-Azha
Eid-ul-Azha is a four-day Islamic festival which is observed on the 10th day of Dhul Hijja (Toy al-Hijja). It is observed to remember the sacrifice Ibrahim (Abraham) was willing to make on the command of Allah, to sacrifice his son. Eid commemorates the willingness he had to give up something, most precious possession, for Allah.
