How to wish someone a Happy Eid. If you want to wish somebody “Happy Eid” this year, the traditional way would be to greet them with “Eid Mubarak”.
Why do we celebrate Eid al-Adha?- Eid al-Adha is a day that hails Ibrahim's devotion to Allah. He was willing to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of submission to God's will. Hence, this festival is also hailed as the 'Feast of the Sacrifice'. Eid al-Adha commemorates the devotion and love Ibrahim and his son Ismael had for Allah.
Want to know more about Eid - if so why not join us on the 22nd of July, when Lorraine O’Connor and Aisha Ali from the Muslim Sisters of Eire (MSOE) and Dr. Youcef Sai an Irish Algerian Academic based in TUD will talk to us about Eid.
