Eid el-Kabir, also known as Eid al-Adha or Sallah, is one of the most important celebrations in Islam. In English, the Arabic phrase Eid el-Kabir means the Festival of Sacrifice. It commemorates the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, to obey Allah. Just as he was about to offer Ismail for sacrifice, Allah stopped Ibrahim and provided a ram to be slaughtered in his place. This event marks a show of faith and total submission to the will of Allah. Muslims celebrate Eid el-Kabir by slaughtering an animal, typically sheep, goat, or cow, and distributing the meat among family, friends, and those in need.
Whether you’re celebrating or know someone who is, here are some thoughtful prayers and messages to show goodwill.
