Festival of Sacrifice

The Muslim world will start to celebrate the Eid al-Adha, ‘Festival of Sacrifice’ this Tuesday, June 27. In Islamic tradition, this historic event started when Prophet Abraham was ordered to prepare his son Ismael as a sacrifice, an order which Abraham and his son unquestioningly obeyed. But Ismael’s life was spared and ransomed by a ram.
