Muslims across different regions celebrate Eid Al-Adha
Millions of Muslims around the world are coming together to celebrate Eid al-Adha, a significant holiday in the Islamic calendar. This special occasion coincides with the final rites of the annual hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, where millions of Muslims gather to perform religious rituals.
RFE/RL is highlighting the diverse and vibrant celebrations taking place across its regions. From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the serene mosques of Central Asia, the spirit of Eid al-Adha is being felt far and wide.
During this holiday, Muslims commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and giving back to those in need. Families come together to share meals, exchange gifts, and visit the graves of loved ones.
As we witness these joyous celebrations, let us remember the values of compassion, unity, and sacrifice that Eid al-Adha embodies. May this holiday bring peace and blessings to all those celebrating around the world. Eid Mubarak!
