Let’s understand the sacred festival, its significance, and famous Arabic dishes, as well as check out tour packages.

What is Eid al Adha?

Eid al-Adha is famously known as the Festival of Sacrifice. It is celebrated with great pumps and shows across the UAE. It is a memorable day to celebrate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. The festival is grandly celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, which is the 12th month of the Islamic calendar. 

The festival is all about special prayers, the sacrifice of animals, and communal gatherings. The popular dishes are prepared and shared among family and friends. The festival also emphasises charity, community, and gratitude. It is considered a time for Muslims to show their faith and devotion.

Significance of Eid al Adha

The festival Eid al-Adha emphasises many key aspects of the Islamic faith and practices, such as:

• Faith and Obedience: As highlighted in the above section, the festival story of Ibrahim and Ismail highlights the importance of unwavering faith and submission to God’s will.
• Sacrifice and Charity: Believers sacrifice animals. The meat is then distributed among family, loved ones, and the less fortunate, which showcases the values of charity and community support.
• Gratitude and Reflection: The holiday reflects the belief and faith, expresses gratitude, and strengthens the believer’s relationship with God.
