Muslims around the world are celebrating Eid al Adha, a special holiday demonstrating obedience to God by sacrificing livestock. The holiday is inspired by a story from the Quran that is also known to Christians and Jews.

This act of sacrifice is a symbol of Abraham's obedience to God and his willingness to put his faith above all else.

Eid al Adha is a time for Muslims to come together and celebrate their faith. It is also a time for giving back to the community and helping those in need.
