Eid al-Adha In Indonesia

Indonesian muslims back towards home after offering ritual prayer during celebration of Eid al-Adha at the centuries-old Sunda Kelapa port in Jakarta on August 22, 2018. Eid al-Adha is one of the most important feasts on the Muslim calendar. It marks the yearly Muslim pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca, the holiest place in Islam. On the occasion Muslims slaughter sacrificial animals and split the meat into three parts, one for the family, one for friends and relatives, and one for the poor and needy. The slaughter commemorates the biblical story of Abraham, who was on the verge of sacrificing his son Ismail to obey God's command when God interceded by substituting a ram in the child's place.
