In a cable, President El Sisi wished Egyptian expatriates a happy E-id al-Adha, Al-Shorouk newspaper reported on Friday.

  

Eid Al-Adha is the most significant feast for Muslims worldwide, as it marks the end of the Hajj (pilgrimage) to the holy city of Mecca.

 

The Adha honors the day when Prophet Ibrahim -peace be upon him- was ordered to sacrifice his son, Ismael, and because of his obedience, God substituted Ismael with a ram, and this day has become a feast for Muslims since that day.

 

“And We have ransomed you with a mighty sacrifice” - Qur’an 37:107

 

In Islam, the sacrificed animal during Al-Adha is divided into parts, in order for the animal’s owner to be able to give a share of the meat to the needy people.
