One of the most significant holidays in Islam is Eid Ul Adha, sometimes referred to as Bakra Eid. It is one of the two most sacred days observed by Muslims around the world and honors the test of faith that Prophet Ibrahim underwent. Special prayers held in mosques and the killing of lambs and goats are examples of rituals. Every Muslim who is able to do so must make the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime.
