According to tradition, Eid Al Adha is held to honour Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son, after being instructed to do so by God. Prophet Ibrahim told his son of the dream, and the son then told his father to follow the order. But God intervened, sending a sheep to take his son's place.
The occasion of Eid Al Adha is usually marked with a few days off for both the public and private sectors.
