More than 1.9 billion Muslims across the globe are observing Eid al-Adha, one of Islam’s most significant religious holidays. This occasion honours Prophet Ibrahim’s test of faith and the spirit of sacrifice.
While traditions vary from region to region, the day is marked by prayers, the sharing of food, and moments of community reflection.
