Eid al-Adha Across Africa: A Tapestry of Faith & Culture
Eid al-Adha, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice," is one of the holiest celebrations in Islam. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God—before God provided a ram to sacrifice instead.
Muslims around the world mark this occasion with special prayers, community gatherings, and the ritual sacrifice of animals, followed by sharing the meat with family, neighbors, and those in need. The celebration also emphasizes compassion, devotion, and unity.
Footage from: Egypt, Nigeria (Abia State), Algeria where a major religious figure in Mali Imam Sheikh Mahmoud Dicko participated in the Eid al-Adha prayer alongside Algerian President Tebboune, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Kenya, DRC, Tunisia, Ghana, and Nigeria.
