According to the Koran, Allah, testing the prophet, ordered him to sacrifice his son, but at the last moment he replaced his son with a ram. Eid al-Adha also marks the end of the annual pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca, which every Muslim should make at least once in his life if possible.

On this day, believers must sacrifice a ram, a cow or a camel, perform a full bath, put on clean festive clothes. Divine services in mosques begin early in the morning.

The most important holiday of all Muslims - Kurban Bayram, is a holiday of joy and love for God - Allah, which is why he is so revered in the Islamic tradition. This is one of the most revered holidays among Muslims and at the same time it is one of the most famous (recognizable) among all Muslim holidays in the world.

What date is Kurban Bayram celebrated in 2017

Every year, the holiday of Kurban Bayram (or Eid al-adha) is celebrated on the seventieth day after, that is, on the tenth day of the Islamic month of Zul-Hijja, i.e. Kurban Bayram in 2017 falls on September 1, i.e. on Friday.

The origin of the holiday

The holy Muslim book, the Quran, describes the events that formed the basis of the Eid al-Adha holiday. It tells about the prophet Ibrahim, who had a wife and son Ismail.
Once Ibrahim saw in a dream a divine angel who told him to sacrifice his beloved child. At first, the prophet did not believe his own eyes, but the vision repeated again and again until Ibrahim realized that Allah wanted him to make this sacrifice. Ibrahim always honored traditions, but such an act was too difficult for him. However, he decided on it, despite the excuses of his wife. They say that seeing off her son and husband on this difficult journey, the unfortunate woman threw stones at Ibrahim, not wanting to say goodbye to her beloved child. Ismail submitted to the will of his father and followed him to certain death.
After they reached the right place where the altar was located, Ibrahim laid his son on a stone and raised a knife for a terrible act. But at that moment, Allah sent an angel to Ibrahim, who did not allow his beloved son Ismail to be killed.

A young lamb was sacrificed, and the prophet received another son, Isaac, as a reward.

What does Kurban Bayram mean?

You should know that the word "bayram" means "holiday". In turn, Kurban Bayram is translated from Arabic. How feast of sacrifice, that is, an offering to Allah, as well as a spiritual appeal to him.

Celebration traditions

The holiday begins ten days before it begins. From this moment on, believers observe fasting and carry out general cleaning of their homes.

Kurban Bayram begins to be met even before dawn, when all Muslims wash their bodies, put on their best clothes and go to the mosque for morning prayer- prayer.

First holiday prayer should be done hungry. After the Muslims gather at home and have breakfast, then return to the mosque again to listen to a solemn sermon about the events and history of the holiday.

On this Muslim holiday, it is considered obligatory to sacrifice to Allah a young lamb, a cow or a camel up to a year old, without external defects and without offspring. The sacrifice is divided into three parts: the owner of the house keeps the first, donates the second to the community, and distributes the third to the poor on the street. If after the feast a part of the sacrificial animal was not eaten, then the next day it cannot be eaten.

History of Eid al-Adha

Once the prophet Ibrahim had a dream in which he was ordered to sacrifice his eldest son Ismail. Thinking that this was an illusion, he decided to wait, but the dream was repeated over and over again. Then Ibrahim decided to make the dream a reality. At that moment, when Ibrahim raised the knife over his son, he heard a voice: "O Ibrahim, you have already fulfilled your dream ...".

After that, the prophet saw a lamb, with which he was ordered to perform a kurban (sacrifice). According to Muslim interpretation, Allah did not need any sacrifices, he only tested the strength of the faith of his prophet.

This story took place near Mecca. Since then, Muslims have been performing the ritual of sacrifice, paying tribute to the feat of the prophet Ibrahim, who showed the highest degree of righteousness and love for Allah.

However, not everyone can make the Hajj to Mecca and participate in the main holiday, so the canons of Islam require Muslims to perform the culminating part of the ceremony not only in Mecca, but wherever they may be.

Before the holiday, it is customary to fast for 10 days, and spend the night before in prayers.

Eid al-Adha Celebration

The holiday starts early in the morning. Upon waking up, Muslims are advised to cut their hair and nails, take a bath, anoint themselves with incense if possible, and put on their best clothes. Then everyone goes to the mosque for the holiday prayer, before which they cannot have breakfast.

After its completion, believers return home, and then, if desired, gather in groups on the street or in the yards, where they sing praises to Allah (takbir) in chorus.

Then they again go to the mosque or to a specially designated area (namazgah), where the mullah or imam-khatib delivers a sermon (khutba), which usually begins with the glorification of Allah and his prophet, then the origin of the hajj and the meaning of the rite of sacrifice are explained.

Sacrificial animal on Eid al-Adha

Muslims perform the sacrifice shortly before sunset on the third day, immediately after the completion of the Eid prayer.

The victim can be a ram, a camel or a cow. The animal must be at least six months old, it must be healthy. If funds permit, believers sacrifice one sheep or goat for each member of the family.

It is desirable that the animal be slaughtered by the one who sacrifices it. If for some reason a person is not able to do this, then he instructs someone else to do it. Above the sacred gift, prepared for slaughter, the clergyman of the mosque - mullah or muezzin - reads a special prayer.

The victim is laid on the left side, with his head towards Mecca, and the ceremony is performed. The meat is divided into three parts: one is distributed to the poor, a treat is prepared from the second for relatives, neighbors, friends, and a Muslim can keep the third.

Usually the skins of sacrificial animals are given to the mosque. The meat is boiled and eaten at a common meal, which can be attended by any Muslim, and the imam usually sits at the head of the table.

Eid al-Adha traditions

Also, much attention is paid to the festive decoration of the table and the preparation of numerous sweets. Close friends and relatives need to make gifts.

In the days following the holiday, visits are usually made to relatives, friends and acquaintances.

Drinking alcohol on this day is blasphemy and a mockery of the norms of Islam.
