Eid al-Adha has a deep spiritual meaning, proclaiming mercy, kindness and love for people. On this day, believers remember the Prophet Ibrahim, who is often identified with the biblical prophet Abraham. According to legend, one day the angel Gabriel appeared to him in a dream and ordered him, by the will of Allah, to sacrifice his son Ismail. Obeying the will of God, Ibrahim went to the Mina valley, to the location of Mecca. Young Ismail followed his father.

When Ibrahim was ready to perform the ceremony, the angel Gabriel appeared to him again and informed him that Allah had given Ismail life for his devotion and spiritual purity, ordering him to sacrifice a ram instead of his son. Due to this, the custom of performing a ritual sacrifice as a sign of gratitude to the Almighty was later established. Muslims choose not only sheep as a sacrificial animal, but also sheep, goats, cows, camels and other ungulates.

At the same time, only a part of the animal's meat is used for a festive meal in the family. Since the sacrifice is made in the name of Allah, it should also benefit other people. Therefore, a third of the meal should be distributed to the poor as alms. It is believed that ritual food (sadaka) protects the givers from all kinds of diseases and misfortunes.

Eid al-Adha celebrations last three to four days. At this time, believers visit friends and relatives, arrange lavish feasts and give each other gifts. The holiday itself is officially declared a weekend in most of the republics where Muslims live: Adygea, Bashkortostan, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Tatarstan, Chechnya.

In countries where Islam is the state religion, Eid al-Adha is celebrated longer. For example, in Turkey and Qatar, celebrations last 10 days, and in Saudi Arabia — two weeks. Muslims prepare for the celebration in advance. During the month and a half before the holiday, it is customary to make a Hajj pilgrimage to the holy places in Mecca, and 10 days before Eid al—Adha, observe strict fasting.

On the holiday itself, the faithful visit the mosque and perform a collective prayer, praising Allah for his greatness and mercy. On the eve, Muslims perform a complete ablution and recite the Sunnah of the Koran, which explains the meaning and origin of the sacrificial rite.

Every true believer tries to gather as many guests at home as possible and please them with a variety of dishes. According to an ancient belief, the more food is prepared, the better. Traditionally, lamb dishes, a side dish of rice and vegetables are served on the table. No feast is complete without sweets — pies, tortillas, desserts made from almonds and raisins.

Eid al-Adha is of great importance to all Muslims, occupying one of the most important places in Muslim culture. Therefore, it is important to properly congratulate on this celebration. Believers usually congratulate each other with the words: "Eid mubarak" — "Blessed is the feast!", "Idum mubarak" — "May your feast be blessed!" or "Eid al-Adha mubarak" — "Blessed is the feast of sacrifice!"

In addition, it is customary to wish each other health, well-being, peace, as well as the mercy and protection of the Almighty. Good wishes are often expressed to the addressee's family and friends, wishing that the bright holiday would bring joy and happiness to the house. It is customary to send greetings in the native language of the person to whom the greeting is intended. Below are examples of Eid al-Adha greetings in Russian, Tatar and Turkish, which will help you easily cope with this task.
