Eid al-Adha (
Arabic: عيد الأضحى
‘Īd al-’Aḍḥá, IPA:
[ʕiːd al ʔadˁˈħaː], "
feast of
sacrifice") or "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is an important
religious holiday celebrated by
Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of
Abraham (
Ibrahim) to
sacrifice his son
Ishmael (
Isma'il) as an act of obedience to
God, before God intervened to provide him with a sheep— to sacrifice instead.
You know whats best in this nabish tale ? That the guy would kill his son without any hidrance on the side of morality and existing law. Moreover god who wants to see a blood is not a good god. If i had to worship any god i would goddess of ancient Greek. Those Gods at least were sincere: if u are good u will be awared, if u are bad u will be punished. Not as muslim, christian etc god - all round good and benevolent + bonus of hipocrisy - he will punish u anyway, however he still loves you XD
