Celebrating a festival of faith, unity and generosity
Eid is a joyous occasion that brings people together to celebrate life's blessings with loved ones. Such festive days of celebrating Eid offer an opportunity to share happy moments with family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and community overall. This occasion is somehow refreshing, helping people skip their daily routines and reunite with others. Though it is important to embrace moments that refresh our spirits and bring joy into our lives even beyond these occasions. Celebrations like Eid remind us of the value of togetherness and the importance of nurturing relationships. Just two months back, Muslims worldwide celebrated Eid Al Fitr and now the spirit of celebration returns. Eid Al Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, stands as one of the most significant occasions in the Islamic calendar. It falls on the 10th day of Dhul Al Hijjah, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic year, and coincides with the annual pilgrimage, Haj. This sacred celebration commemorates the profound story of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who demonstrated ultimate faith and obedience by being willing to sacrifice his son at Allah's command. Before the sacrifice could take place, Allah provided a ram to be offered instead. In remembrance of this act, Muslims who are financially able to sacrifice an animal, typically a sheep, goat, cow or camel, and divide the meat into three parts: one-third for the poor and needy, one-third for relatives and neighbours, and one-third for their own household. On this festive day, men, women, and children dress in their finest clothes and gather for the special Eid prayer, usually held in large gatherings in open spaces or mosques. The act of sacrifice must meet specific criteria to be accepted, ensuring that the animal is healthy and of suitable age. Eid Al Adha is not only a religious ritual but also a festive and meaningful occasion for people of all ages. It reflects unity, compassion and generosity. Differences are set aside as communities come together in celebration, reinforcing the values of empathy, forgiveness, and social harmony. It also marks the end of the Islamic year and welcomes a new chapter in the Hijri Calendar, a time for spiritual renewal and recommitment to faith. Ultimately, Eid Al Adha is an opportunity to reconnect with one another, to remember our shared values and history, and to celebrate the blessings that bind us as a global community. Though celebrated differently across cultures, Eid Al Adha is universally marked by a spirit of humility, gratitude and celebration. It goes beyond borders and backgrounds, reminding Muslims everywhere of their shared faith and responsibilities. Beyond religious observance, Eid is a time for strengthening relationships, healing old wounds, and reaching out to those in need. It is a day when joy is multiplied through sharing, and barriers are broken by kindness. In multicultural societies, Eid brings also an opportunity for people of all faiths to come together in mutual respect and celebration. Open houses, interfaith events and community feasts help build bridges and foster understanding. Whether it is the sweet joy or the meaningful reflection of Eid Al Adha, celebrating Eid is a vibrant expression of faith and love. It is a reminder that despite our diverse backgrounds, the values of compassion, generosity and togetherness are universal and always worth celebrating. Children often wake up to new clothes, gifts, and sweets, their excitement mirroring the celebratory spirit that fills the day. For adults, it is a time to reconnect with loved ones, share meals, and create lasting memories around the dining tables. The tradition of visiting relatives and neighbours reflects a sense of belonging and community. The joy of celebrating Eid Al Adha goes far beyond feasts and festivities. It is found in the strength of faith, the warmth of family, and the open heartedness of giving. It is a time when hearts are inspired, communities are strengthened, and the enduring values of Islam shine brightly through the lives of those who honour this sacred occasion.
