JEDDAH – Nearly two million Muslims are celebrating Eidul Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, as they perform the annual hajj pilgrimage.
Huge Eid congregations were observed in Makkah and Madinah where local residents and pilgrims performed Eid ul-Adha prayers.
After Eid congregations, Muslims sacrifice animal to symbolize Prophet Abraham (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son upon Allah’s command.
Meanwhile, Muslims in several other regions including the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada are celebrating Eidul Adha as the spirit of the Islamic festival remains strong in parts of the world.
