Eid-ul-Adha is known as the festival of sacrifice for Muslims, which seeks to honor Ibrahim (Abraham) who in an act of obedience attempted to sacrifice his son. God provided a male sheep to be sacrificed instead.
In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed by Muslims across the world and divided into three parts:
one-third of which is given to the poor and needy,
while another third is given to relatives, friends, and neighbors,
and the remaining third is retained by the family.
"Happy Eid-Ul-Adha"
