ALBAWABA - Eid Mubarak. The Arab and Muslim worlds are celebrating the first day of Eid Al Adha (Festival of Sacrifice).
A special Eid Mubarak to Muslims in dire situations globally. In Kashmir and India, Yemen and Afghanistan, the West Bank and East Turkistan. Wishing that freedom and justice will come your way soon, God willing.

And there 's the sign of the sheep slaughter:

The slaughter is a very important Islamic symbol where Prophet Abraham was about to sacrifice his son Ismael in obedience to the wishes of God but he was stopped at the last minute by a merciful Almighty.
The sheep was then made in sacrifice and it become a symbol. Today, its a means to keeping up that tradition but feed the poor and needy.
Here's is the celebration starting from Gaza:

Let's forget about our egos and self-desires during this important occasion:
More than the act of offering our sacrifice to our Lord is our commitment to offer ourselves in His worship and service by sacrificing—first and foremost—our ego and selfish desires.
