Eid al-Adha, the second of two major Muslim festivals, marks the culmination of the Hajj pilgrimage in Minā, near Mecca, and is celebrated worldwide. Like Eid al-Fitr, it begins with communal prayer at daybreak on the 10th of Dhū al-Ḥijjah and continues for three more days. Families able to do so sacrifice an approved animal and distribute the meat among themselves, the poor, and their neighbors. The festival commemorates Prophet Ibrāhīm’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismāʿīl and is also a time for visiting loved ones and exchanging gifts.

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion founded on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, who Muslims believe is the final messenger of God (Allah). The core beliefs of Islam include faith in one God, the importance of prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage. The Quran is the holy book of Islam, which Muslims believe to be the literal word of God.
Allah is the Arabic word for God, used by Muslims to refer to the one, all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe. Allah is the same God worshipped in Christianity and Judaism, though with different understandings and names in each religion.
In Islam, women are considered spiritually equal to men and have rights in education, property ownership, and financial independence. They play vital roles in family, society, and economy, with specific rights and responsibilities. Islam emphasizes dignity, respect, and equality for women, though cultural practices may sometimes differ from these teachings. Overall, Islam advocates for the empowerment and active participation of women in all aspects of life.
