What happens on Eid day?

On Eid morning, Muslims dress in their finest clothes and head to mosques or large open
spaces called musallahs shortly after sunrise to perform the Eid prayer. These spaces fill
quickly with men, women, children, and the elderly, all gathering to offer the prayer in
congregation.

Prayer areas typically open from the Fajr (dawn) prayer, with the Eid takbir (chants glorifying
God) echoing from mosques until the start of the special prayer. After the prayer, the Imam
delivers a sermon, and the festivities begin - often starting with warm embraces among family
and friends.

A key tradition of Eid Al Adha is the sacrifice of livestock, commemorating Prophet Ibrahim's
willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. The meat is then distributed among
family, friends, and those in need, symbolising charity, community, and compassion.
