Eid is a time of joy, reflection, and community for Muslims worldwide. It marks significant spiritual milestones and is celebrated with a blend of religious devotion, cultural traditions, and festive gatherings. The Islamic calendar has two major Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

In Islam, animal blood sacrifice, known as "Qurbani" or "Udhiyyah," is a ritual performed during the month of Dhul Hijjah, specifically on *Eid al-Adha. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) for God.

The Holy Kaaba (al-Kaʿba, lit. "the Cube"), also spelt "Ka'ba," "Ka'bah" or "Kabah," sometimes referred to as "al-Ka'ba al-Musharrafa" (lit. "the Honoured Ka'ba," is a stone building at the centre of Islam's most important mosque and holiest site, the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is considered by Muslims to be the Bayt Allah (lit. "House of God") and is the qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims around the world.
