Nice post thanks for sharing
while I know the story of Abraham and Isaac, I didn’t know this festival. sharing a third with the poor seems like a very kind thing to do
The Muslim here celebrated this festival too.
I wasn’t familiar with the festival but I remember we had Muslim neighbors who would kindly give us some meat. Very nice deed. ?
Wish you and your family a happy Id
Thank you for sharing this important Islamic festival.
