=Pakistan Times Staff Report=
ISLAMABAD: The nation is celebrating Eid-ul-Azha with religious solemnity and renewed spirit of sacrifice.

On this day, the 10th of Zilhaj, some 3800 years ago, Prophet Ibrahim offered to sacrifice his beloved son Prophet Ismail in total submission to Almighty Allah.

Almighty Allah blessed with mercy and asked him to sacrifice a ram instead of Ismail.

To commemorate this incident, Muslims all over the world slaughter sacrificial animals on this day and draw inspiration from the unique example of sacrifice set by Abrahim

The faithful will throng Eid congregations across the country, Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas to invoke blessings of Almighty.

They will offer special prayers for Pakistan and well-being of the nation.

A three-day public holiday begins Thursday.

Many city-dwellers have already left for their native villages or towns to celebrate Eid with near and dear ones.

The Festival of Sacrifice, Eid-al-Adha, immediately follows the Day of Arafat. Although only the pilgrims in Mecca can participate in the Hajj fully, all the other Muslims in the world join with them by celebrating Eid Al-Adha, or "Celebration of Sacrifice."
On the 10th day of Zul-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims around the world celebrate this feast of commitment, obedience and self sacrifice to Allah. This festival is celebrated throughout the Muslim world as a commemoration of Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice everything for God, including the life of his son Ishmael*.
Because God spared Ishmael, substituting a sheep in his stead, Muslims commemorate this occasion by slaughtering an animal and distributing its meat among family, friends and the needy as a special act of charity for the occasion. Because of this, many poor Muslims are able to enjoy the unusual luxury of eating meat during the four days of the festival.

生贄の精神
あるときアッラーがイブラヒムに一番愛するものをアッラーのために生贄に捧げるように命じた。イブラヒムはアッラーに従い愛する自分の子供を生贄に捧げようとした。アッラーはイブラヒムの忠誠心を理解し生贄を拒否する。アッラーへの忠誠心として動物を生贄に捧げるようになった。アッラーに届くのは生贄ではなく、忠誠心そのものである。
