Eid Al-Adha prayer was successfully held in the Masjid Al Haram earlier today. The prayer was led by one of the Imams of the mosque, Sheikh Bandar Baleelah.

The Eid Al-Adha Festival is very important in the life of a Muslim.

Al-Adha” refers to sacrifice, specifically the “one in which Abraham was asked – as a test – by God to sacrifice his son, only to have God intervene and substitute a ram (or lamb) instead,”. This is why Muslims are also enjoined to sacrifice animals on this day.
