How Many Days Until Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Adha, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid," is the second of the two major Islamic holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah. The holiday coincides with the completion of Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, and lasts for four days. Muslims who can afford to do so perform Qurbani—the ritual sacrifice of an animal—with the meat divided into three portions: one for family, one for friends and relatives, and one for those in need. Eid al-Adha is celebrated with special morning prayers (Salat al-Eid), wearing new clothes, visiting family and friends, exchanging gifts, and enjoying festive meals. It's a time for reflection on faith, sacrifice, and the importance of charity.
