WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE 'FESTIVAL OF SACRIFICE'?
This day commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command. According to the Quran, it is said that before Prophet Ibrahim or Abraham could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead.
In commemoration of this, Muslims across the world sacrifice a male goat and divide it into three parts: one-third of the share is given to the poor and needy; another third is given to relatives, friends, and neighbours; and the remaining third is retained by the family.
This festival of sacrifice is celebrated because Prophet Ibrahim agreed to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience. The devil enticed Ibrahim to save his son and not obey Allah's command. Ibrahim didn't pay any heed to the devil's evil thoughts and was about to sacrifice his son.
