On 4-5 October Muslims around the world will mark one of the major holidays - Gurban Bayram (sacrifice.) In Arabic this holiday is called Eid al-Adha, and coincides with the hajj to Mecca. According to the Koran, the angel Gabriel appeared to the prophet Ibrahim in a dream, and conveyed him an order from Allah to sacrifice his son. However, this proved to be a test from Allah, and when the victim was almost brought , Allah made it so that the knife could not cut it, and the victim( the Prophet’s son) was replaced by a sheep, and the prophet Ibrahim was given the safe birth of their second son.
The Sacrifice Holiday is the culmination of the Hajj to Mecca. On the eve of the holiday pilgrims ascend to the Mount Arafat, and on the day of Sacrifice commit symbolic throwing stones and tawaf (seven times make circle around the Kaaba,) believers committed festive prayer, after a sermon (khutbah) is read. Then believers must sacrifice an animal (usually a sheep), and give its meat to the poor (usually to seven families.) -05В-
