Eid Al-Adha (Feast Of The Sacrifice) And Father's Day In Mexico City
Members of the Muslim community in Mexico City, Mexico, on the occasion of the celebration of Eid al-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice), are gathering inside the facilities of the Plan Sexenal. According to the practice, Eid al-Adha has its origin in the moment when God appeared in a dream to Abraham, known as Ibrahim by Muslims, and asked him to sacrifice his son to demonstrate his loyalty. According to the Qur'an - the holy religious book of Islam - just as Ibrahim is about to sacrifice his son, God replaces Ismail with a lamb, which is sacrificed in his place.
