Eid al-Adha is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims and Druze worldwide as a commemoration of Ibrahim's (Abraham's) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael for Allah. It is one of two Eid festivals, whose basis comes from the Quran, that Muslims celebrate (Muslims in Iran celebrate a third, non-denominational). Like Eid el-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba). It is also called the bigger Eid because it is considered better than Eid el-Fitr
Men, women, and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing to perform Eid prayer (Salatu'l-`id) in any mosque. Muslims who can afford to do so sacrifice their best domestic animals (usually sheep, but also camels, cows, and goats) as a symbol of Ibrahim's (Abraham's) sacrifice. The sacrificed animals, called "udhiya also known as "qurbani".
"Qurbani" sacrificed by our flat members...
There is a "Banana Talk" (Proverb) in Malayalam. "Pambine thinnunna nattil poyal nadu kashnam nokki thinnanam." So we decided to wear the traditional dress of the Arabic guys on the Eid occasion. All the attempt was taken on a sudden. So there is no way to get "Agal " and "Shemagh circle" , so we decided to wear the dress in Omani style.
