Eid Al Adha marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage and the end of the very spiritual and holy first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.

Many Muslims will celebrate this Eid by sacrificing an animal and sharing it with their friends and family and those less fortunate in the community. But why do Muslims perform this particular act of worship?

Muslims follow the actions of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) when he was asked to sacrifice his beloved son and his devotion to his Creator was tested.
