Women and families attended gathering and shared meals during celebrations held at mosque. The holiday honors Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to God and his readiness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience. Muslims observe the occasion through prayers, meals, charitable giving, and gatherings with loved ones. As part of the tradition, many families sacrifice an animal, such as a sheep, goat, or cow. The meat is then divided among relatives, neighbors, and people in need. Eid al-Adha is also closely connected to the annual hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Hajj rituals officially began Monday with pilgrims arriving in Mina, west of Saudi Arabia, amid extensive services and security measures aimed at facilitating the pilgrimage. The six-day Hajj season includes the standing at Arafat on Tuesday, overnight stays in Muzdalifah, the symbolic stoning ritual, and the farewell circumambulation at the Grand Mosque in Mecca. The ritual consists of several rituals, which are meant to symbolize the essential concepts of the Islamic faith, and to commemorate the trials of Prophet Abraham and his family.
