The Hajj pilgrimage also takes place at the same time, which is the pilgrimage that every Muslim must make at least once in their lifetime if they are able financially and physically. It is marked as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim’s absolute dedication to Allah and is celebrated by Muslims all around the world in the month of Zul Hijjah/Dhu al-Hijjah, which is the twelfth month of the Islamic or lunar calendar. The Muslim community across the world celebrates the Bakrid festival by sacrificing a goat/sheep/buffalo/camel, honouring Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice. Jibreel told Ibrahim that God was pleased with his devotion to him and sent the sheep to be slaughtered in place of his son. It is believed that even though neither the meat nor the blood reaches Allah, the devotion of His people reaches him. Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) and Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) announced that Eid al Adha there will be celebrated on Saturday July 09, 2022.

Sudan protesters mark Eid al-Adha at anti-army sit-in (FRANCE 24)

Sudanese protesters celebrated Eid al-Adha among barricades on Saturday during a sit-in against military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his October coup.

A total of 114 people have been killed in the crackdown by security forces against protesters since the October coup, the medics say. The protests against Burhan were reinvigorated on June 30, when tens of thousands gathered and nine people were killed by security forces, according to pro-democracy medics. Protesters have continued to press the army chief to resign, days after he vowed to make way for a civilian government -- an offer quickly rejected by the country's main civilian umbrella group as a "ruse".

Hajj, which translates to “to attend a journey” which means both the outward act of a journey and the inward act of intention, is a pilgrimage made to the Kaaba, the “House of God”, in the sacred city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, alongside Shahadah (oath to God), Salat (prayer), Zakat (almsgiving) and Sawm (fasting of Ramadan), and is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to God. Part of their meat is consumed by the family which offered the animal, while the rest of the meat is distributed to the poor and the needy. In the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days. Eid Al-Adha is the second and biggest of the two main holidays celebrated in Islam. Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Lesser Eid, is the earlier of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam.

Niagara Falls Eid celebration cancelled by venue (Niagarathisweek.com)

What is supposed to be a joyous time of year for members of Niagara's Muslim community has gone sour.

“How are we supposed to find a new meeting place to accommodate everyone with such short notice?” “Which kind of ruins the community feeling,” she said, speaking to Niagara this Week Thursday, July 7 night. “They were not responding to … emails or calling and reaching out and trying to come to a solution. And you’d think … good community relations would be that they would have tried to work or say, ‘OK, we can't do it here, but maybe we can work with (somewhere else)’.” They offered to rent portable washrooms and also offered to shorten the event’s duration from four hours down to two. It signifies the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as ordered by Allah, and is one of Islam’s most important holidays.

Saudi Arabia maintained limits to curb the spread of the virus this year, with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate and attendance less than half of pre-pandemic quotas.

Much of Asia, including Indonesia, India and Pakistan, will observe the holiday on Sunday.

But lavish feast or not, there were community prayers – a welcome sight in much of the world after years of coronavirus-related restrictions. In the years since, authorities have improved access with wider streets, electronic gates and a high-speed rail link. Still, the scenes were a significant step closer to normal. But amid soaring food prices that have caused widespread hardship across the Middle East, many say they cannot afford the livestock for the ritual sacrifice. At the multi-storey Jamarat Complex, pilgrims carried out the symbolic stoning of the devil, recalling Ibrahim’s victory over temptation. In Tripoli, in war-torn Libya, families were looking forward to the holiday after the past two years of the pandemic and more than a decade of violent chaos.
