Eid Al-Adha (Feast Of The Sacrifice) And Father's Day In Mexico City
A girl from the Muslim community in Mexico City, Mexico, is praying inside the Plan Sexenal facilities on the occasion of the celebration of Eid al-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice). 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 was about to sacrifice his son, God replaced Ismail with a lamb, which was sacrificed in his place.
