Poem
Eid ul Azha Eid ul Azha takes place on the 10th of Zil Hajj. Eid-ul-Adha marks the end of Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage to the Holy city of Mecca. The Hajj to Mecca is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation upon male and female adults whose health and means permit it. Abraham was instructed by Allah, in a dream, to raise the foundations of Holy Kaaba,the most sacred shrine in Mecca. God revealed in a dream to Abraham to sacrifice his son Isma’il. Abrahim and Isma’il set off to Mina for the sacrifice. As they went, the devil attempted to lead Abraham astray by disobeying God and not to sacrifice his beloved son. But Abraham remained unfaltered in his decision and true to God, and drove the devil away. As Abraham prepared to kill his son, God stopped him and gave him a sheep to sacrifice instead. So it is Popularly known as the Festival of Sacrifice This Muslim holiday Eid-ul-Azha commemorates Prophet Abraham’s unselfish act of sacrificing(Qurbani) his own son to the One God, Allah. The festival reminds everyone of the mercy and benefits bestowed upon mankind by Allah. On Eid ul Azha many muslims come together with love and without a grudge. Families sacrifice an animal and feed the poor and needy people . And exchange greetings with the neighbours next door,family and friends also. People who are away from the Holy pilgrimage, Hajj, also carry out this traditional sacrifice. We go to the Mosques in our best clothes. But first we sure we are clean from our head to our toes. On People visit each other's homes and partake in festive meals with special dishes, beverages, and desserts. Children receive gifts and sweets on this happy occasion. This day I am ever so grateful being blessed Creature of God Almighty. So we can truly conclude Eid is always a blessed day Filled with joy and blessing I must say. By Aliza Kashmala Kiran
