Muslims gather for prayer to celebrate Eid al-Adha Aug. 12 at the Islamic Institute of America, 26305 Ford Road. Eid al-Adha, also known as “Festival of the Sacrifice,” commemorates Ibrahim who was stopped by God as he was about to sacrifice his son and was given a lamb to sacrifice instead. Many families purchase an animal for slaughter or have an animal slaughtered through their butcher and pass the meat to the poor, family or themselves. The holiday also marks the ending of Muslims’ annual Hajj pilgrimage to the holy site of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. It is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide annually, and is considered the holier of the two.
