Muslim Holy festival documentary

Awais Yaqub

Hello my friends here I am with holy muslim documentary ;-)

EID-UL-AZHA the holy festival of Muslims. Muslims celebrates 2 Eids in a year EID-UL-FITAR and 2nd EID-UL-AZHA. In Eid-ul-Azha Muslims sacrifice animal which is HALAL i.e allowed in Islam to eat they are many but Cow, Goat, Camel Sheep are sacrificed. 7 people can share one cow or camel and goat or sheep can only be sacrificed by one person. After sacrifice the meat is distributed in 3 equal parts one for Poor people 2nd for neighbors and relatives and last for self consumption. Animal Sacrifice is compulsory for earning people if they can afford .
This animal sacrifice came from Prophet Abraham the grand father of
Prophet Yaqub, Yaqub is also known as Israel in Hebrew.
Abraham saw a dream in which God told him to sacrifice his son (Ismael). The next day Abraham told whole thing to his son his son said If it is God’s will then we should not waste our time then he went to sacrifice his son meanwhile Satan appeared to his wife and tried to misguide her she threw a rock to him God turned Satan into Rock statue Hajj pilgrims hit that Satan with rocks during Hajj. On the other hand Abraham blindfolded his son and closed his eyes and started to rip the neck off of his son when he opened his eyes his son was not there instead of him Sheep was laying dead and God said “Abraham your sacrifice is accepted your son is safe” God just tested Abraham how far he can go in God’s love by then Muslims follow the same and sacrifice Halal Animals to make God happy .

Awais, thank you for sharing this insight into a part of your Muslim beliefs. What currency is used and do you know how it compares to US dollars or Euros? Forgive my ignorance of this.

Awais, great photos and story. Thanks for sharing this thread with us.

With modern technology, it's often reported that the world is getting smaller. Even so, I find myself amazed at how little I know about the world around me.

Thanks again.
