Eid-al-Adha is celebrated to commemorate the devotion of Abraham and Ishmael. This year it will be celebrated on June 28. It is known as the festival of sacrifice and is a festival of immense religious significance in Islam. On this day, Islam believers and followers remember the prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son when God ordered him to.
Eid-al-Adha is also known as salty Eid and is much different from Eid-ul-Fitr which is called the sweet Eid. On this day special food like kabab, haleem, and biryani are prepared.
