History of Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Adha is an act of worship that originated from the story of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Allah Swt. ordered Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail (peace be upon him). Seeing the obedience and piety of both of them, Allah then replaced Prophet Ismail with a sacrificial animal.
The qurbani sacrifice that we perform not only teaches us about obedience and piety to Allah, but it also teaches us the important role of qurbani for our social life. Qurbani teaches us to share and help our fellow Muslims, be it to our neighbors, relatives, families, and especially to the needy.
