'sacrificial animal') as referred to in Islamic law, is a ritual animal sacrifice of a livestock animal during Eid al-Adha. [1] [2] The concept and definition of the word is derived from the Qur'an, the sacred scripture of Muslims, and is the analog of korban in Judaism and the eucharist in Christianity (see qurbana and qurobo in Syriac).
Eid al-Adha is also sometimes called Eid II or "Greater Eid" (Arabic: العيد الكبير, romanized: al-ʿĪd al-Kabīr). [15] As with Eid al-Fitr, the Eid prayer is performed on the morning of Eid al-Adha, after which udhiyah , or the ritual sacrifice of sheep, may be performed.
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and months begin when new moon is sighted. Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Dhu al-Hijjah migrates throughout the seasons.
Both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha follow a period of 10 holy days or nights: the last 10 nights of Ramadan for Eid al-Fitr, and the first 10 days of Dhu al-Hijjah for Eid al-Adha. The Night of Power (Arabic: لیلة القدر, romanized: Laylat al-Qadr), one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, is the holiest night of the year.
