Muslims around the world celebrate Eid for the second time this year, but it's bigger and more significant than the first.
So, for those who are going with the local sighting of the moon, the celebration can be declared a day later.
God didn't force Ibrahim to go through with the sacrifice but it is this devotion to God that is commemorated during Eid al-Adha.Muslims rise early on the first day of the celebration for communal prayers, at mosques or community centres, which begin just after sunrise. Australian National Imams Council member Imam Ibrahim Dadoun explained: "Eid prayers are always performed in congregation — it's the way that the Prophet taught us how to perform [them]."
Money is typically paid to humanitarian organisations to conduct the Qurbani and to distribute the meat in countries or communities where meat is considered a luxury.Muslims also don their best clothes and open their homes to visits from friends and relatives.
