Many Muslims in India celebrate this festi- val with great fervour. The word ‘Id’ is derived from the Arabic word ‘iwd’, meaning ‘festival’ and Zuha comes from ‘uzhaiyya’, which translates to ‘sacrifice’. Eid-ul-Zuha is a festival of sacrifice. On this day, Muslims sacrifice a goat or a sheep or a camel to commemorate the sacrifice of Prophet Ibra- him (Abraham in Christianity). It is celebrated with great enthusiasm among Muslims all over the world. The animal sacrifices made during the festival are mainly to provide food to the poor and to commemorate the noble act of Prophet Ibrahim. This festival coincides with the Haj pilgrimage in Mecca. Prayers are offered in the mosques and the sacrificial meat is then distributed after the Eid prayers.
