As Muslims around the world prepare to welcome `Eid Al-Adha, Canadian Muslims have set different venues for celebrating the religious holiday, organizing large gatherings in Greater Toronto Area.
`Eid Al-Adha, or “Feast of Sacrifice”, is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations, together with `Eid Al-Fitr.
It begins with special prayers to mark the day, Muslims then offer udhiyah, a ritual that commemorates the great act of sacrifice Prophet Ibrahim and his son Isma`eel were willing to make for the sake of Allah.
Here follows a list of main events planned this `Eid as assembled by MuslimLink.
