Eid-ul-Adha
Eid-ul-adha honors the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to ALLAH’s command. But, before Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) could sacrifice his son, ALLAH provided a lamb to sacrifice instead. In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts: one part of the share is given to the poor and needy; second part is for the home, third is given to relatives. In hijri calendar it falls on the 10th day of Dhu-al-Hijjah, 12th and last month of the calendar.
