10th of Dhu Hijjah, or the day of Eid al-Adha, is one of the 4 major Islamic holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to narrations, on this day, the Almighty God commanded Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, to sacrifice his son Ismail for the sake of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He took Ismail to the altar, but the angel of revelation came down with a “ram” and told Ibrahim to sacrifice that ram instead of Ismail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tradition of sacrifice on the day of Eid al-Adha in the land of Mina commemorates that event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In religious sources, special acts for the day and night of Eid al-Adha are mentioned. Among them is the visitation to Imam Hussain, peace be upon him, and reciting the Dua Nudbah and performing the Eid al-Adha prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is necessary to mention that according to the announcement of the Office of Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Sadiq Husseini al-Shirazi in the holy city of Qom, the Eid al-Adha prayer ceremony was held at 7:00 Qom time in the Grand Ayatollah’s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The joyous atmospheres and celebrations continue until the Greatest Eid, Eid al-Ghadir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
