    NEWZ>>>FILEX MMARI

    Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى‘Īd al-’Aḍḥá, IPA: [ʕiːd al ʔadˁˈħaː], "festival of sacrifice"), also called Feast of the Sacrifice, the Major Festival,[1] the Greater Eid and Id-ul-Zuha,[2] is an important 4-day religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honor the willingness of the prophet ʾIbrāhīm (Abraham) to sacrifice his young firstborn son Ismā'īl (Ishmael)a as an act of submission to God, and his son's acceptance of the sacrifice before God intervened to provide Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead.[3]
    Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays celebrated by Sunni and Shia Muslims, the former holiday being Eid al-Fitr. The basis for the Eid al-Adha comes from the 196th verse of the 2nd sura of the Quran.[4] The word "Eid" appears once in the 5th sura of the Quran, with the meaning "solemn festival".[5] The 3 days and 2 nights of Eid al-Adha are celebrated annually on the 10th, 11th and 12th day Dhu al-Hijjah (ذو الحجة), the twelfth and last month of the lunar Islamic calendar.[6] In the international Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
