Eid ul-Adha or the “Feast of Sacrifice” is one the most significant Islamic holidays. It usually lasts 3-4 days. Majority of Muslim families will most likely attend special prayers at their local masjids. Muslims usually don new outfits and give gifts to families and friends.
Of all of God's attributes, the one we call upon throughout each day is his Mercy. Waking, eating, praying or beginning a task we invoke the phrase "Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem,"
As most people do, I turned to Allah and Islam during the hard times of my life. It's a sad fact of life. When times are happy and life is good, no one feels obliged to turn towards his or her Deen (religion).
