Eid-ul-Adha

Eid-ul-Adha is the second Muslim festive day, which is celebrated on the 10th of Zil Haj (the 12th month of Islamic Calendar). This eid commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) to sacrifice his son Ismail for Allah. People offer collective Namaz-i-Eid in masjids in the morning and sacrifice goats, sheep, cows or camels and distribute meat among relatives, friends and poor. Over the year’s special cuisines like Kalaiji (liver), Pulao, tikkay or Barbecue and a wide variety of meat-based dishes have developed to be cooked especially for this occasion.
During these two eids, people enjoy extended holidays. Eid days are spent visiting relatives and friends or going to parks, lakes and picnic spots and sharing gifts and sweets with loved ones.
