Eid Al-Adha (Feast Of The Sacrifice) And Father's Day In Mexico City
A member of the Muslim community is celebrating Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice) inside the facilities of the Plan Sexenal in Mexico City, Mexico, on [specific date not provided]. According to the practice, this celebration 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 was about to sacrifice his son, God replaced Ismail with a lamb, which was sacrificed in his place.
