The Saudi Al-Quran TV channel showed hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims
walking around the Kaaba and praying in Mecca on the day of Festival of the
Sacrifice.
Eid al-Adha, or the ‘Festival of the Sacrifice,’ honors Ibrahim, the messenger
of Allah's will to sacrifice his son to God before Jibra'il intervention, and
is one of the globally celebrated Islamic holidays.
The Hajj sees around two million Muslims from all over the world gathering in
Mecca, the holiest city for Muslims.
Every able-bodied Muslim with the financial means should make the pilgrimage to
Mecca at least once in their lifetime.
