DESCRIPTION:

Eid al-Adha is one of the two religious holidays observed by Muslims worldwide. It commemorates the obedience of Abraham to God when He commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael at Mount Moriah. But, the angel Jibra’il (Gabrial) stopped him at the last minute. Eid al-Adha is a significant holiday in Islamic majority nations and often lasts five days.

The celebration begins with a prayer and then with a sermon. Eid al-Adha is part of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.

Also called the Feast of Sacrifice, it is on this day that Muslims buy udhiya or asqurbani, usually a goat or a sheep, for the sacrifice. The animal is killed, and the meat is divided into three parts. One part is given to relatives, the second to neighbors, and the family keeps the third.

If you are Christian or Jewish, you’re probably doing a double-take at those mentioned above. Rest assured, the above is not a typo.

In Islam, it is Ishmael portrayed in the story. In Christianity and Judaism, it is Isaac.

The importance of this goes to lineage and the prophet Mohammed. Jesus is descended from Abraham through Isaac. Mohammed from Abraham through Ishmael. Isaac and Ishmael have the same father but different mothers.

The story of the sacrifice, which Eid al-Adha celebrates, is one of the key departure points of the three faiths of the Book. How Jesus Christ is defined, and the resurrection is another. The Jewish faith believes Jesus was simply a rabbi (teacher), nothing more. The Muslims believe He was a prophet but was not killed on the cross; instead, God replaced Him with another man before He died, which means He was not resurrected. Christians believe Jesus is the Messiah promised to Abraham and the Israelites and the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. He was sacrificed on the cross and resurrected three days later.

All three faiths follow the first five books of the Old Testament. Each, however, has its different interpretations of it. Eid al-Adha is an example of an event interpreted differently by the three faiths, and it is celebrated in Islam, but not Christianity or Judaism.
