Id al Adha (Islamic holidays, religious holidays, ... Events (hierarchy name))

 

Note: One of the two canonical festivals of Islam. This festival occurs at the end of the period of the Mecca pilgrimage, on the tenth and following three days of the last month of the year, Dhu al-Hijjah. The festival commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son. Abraham's sacrifice is believed by Muslims to have occurred at Mina outside of Mecca. Muhammad started this festival during his second year at Medina when it was impossible for early Muslims to observe the pilgrimage to Mecca. Id al Adha is marked by rejoicing, feasting, and the wearing of new clothes. All who can afford to are supposed to sacrifice a legal animal (sheep, goats, camels, or cattle) and then equally distribute the meat among themselves, friends, neighbors, and the poor.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Een van de twee canonieke feesten van de islam. Dit feest wordt gehouden aan het eind van de pelgrimage naar Mekka, op de tiende dag en de drie dagen daarna van de laatste maand van het jaar, Dhu al-Hijjah. Tijdens dit feest wordt herdacht dat Abraham bereid was zijn zoon te offeren. Volgens de moslims vond Abrahams offer plaats bij Mina, even buiten Mekka. Mohammed begon met dit feest tijdens het tweede jaar van zijn verblijf in Medina, toen de pelgrimage naar Mekka voor de eerste moslims een onmogelijke onderneming was. Id al Adha wordt gekenmerkt door vreugdebetoon, uitbundige maaltijden en door nieuwe kleren te dragen. Iedereen die zich dat kan veroorloven, wordt geacht een voorgeschreven dier te offeren (schapen, geiten, kamelen of vee) en het vlees gelijkelijk onder elkaar, vrienden, buren en de armen te verdelen.
