Origin
When asked about the origin of Eid al–Adha, The Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, is reported to have said, “It is a tradition that has come down to us from Abraham.” The Feast of Sacrifice dates from the historic event when Prophet Abraham was commanded by God, in a form of a dream vision, to sacrifice his son, Ishmail.
Traditions
One important tradition for Eid al–Adha is sacrificing an animal, like a cow or goat, and donating the meat to people who cannot afford it. Not all Muslims sacrifice an animal themselves. Some Muslims buy special meat from shops and donate that instead or they donate money to charities that give special meat to others.
