Millions of Muslims mark Eid al-Adha (the Feast of the Sacrifice), one of the most important festivities on the Islamic calendar, across Iran and other countries in the shadow of Israeli war on Gaza. The occasion commemorates Prophet Abraham (PBUH)’s historic submission to divine order to sacrifice his son, Ismail -- an exemplary act of faith, which was rewarded by God by providing Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead. The Eid, which falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah on the lunar calendar every year, was celebrated in several nations, including Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey on Sunday. Muslims throughout other countries such as Iran, Malaysia, Iraq, India, and Oman, however, celebrated the holiday on Monday. The world’s Muslim faithful mark the occasion by slaughtering livestock, and sharing the meat among family members and friends as well as among the poor. Various Iranian officials sent out congratulatory messages to Muslims throughout the Islamic Republic and other countries, felicitating them on the arrival of the occasion and hailing it as a valuable opportunity to be used towards enhancing solidarity and unity
