Eid-ul-Adha is a prominent Islamic celebration that commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s unshakable devotion to Allah, as demonstrated by his willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail. In a merciful twist, Allah intervened right before the sacrifice, replacing Ismail with a ram.
This heavenly directive put Prophet Ibrahim’s commitment to Allah to the test, as did his unwavering resolve to carry out His plan. be a result, Eid ul-Adha is appropriately referred to be the festival of sacrifice.
