Eid Mubarak to our Muslim residents celebrating Eid-ul-Adha from today.

Eid-ul-Adha means ‘Festival of Sacrifice’ & is a three day festival which celebrates the time Ibrahim was given a message from Allah, asking him to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. The devil tempted Ibrahim to disobey Allah by sparing his son. As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead.

The festival centres around spirituality and community with increased praying, worship and charitable giving. Eid is also marked by the sharing of meat between family, friends and the less fortunate, this symbolises the sacrifice if the lamb given to Ibrahim.
