## The Festival of Sacrifice

Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail. When Ibrahim demonstrated complete submission, Allah replaced Ismail with a ram.

## The Eid Prayer

Performed in congregation shortly after sunrise with additional takbirat. After সালাত, the imam delivers a khutbah. Sunnah to go by one route and return by another.

## Qurbani

Obligatory (Hanafi) or sunnah mu'akkadah (other schools) for adult Muslims who can afford it. Performed on 10th-12th of Dhul Hijjah. Meat divided in thirds: family, relatives, poor.

## Takbir During Dhul Hijjah

From Fajr on the 9th through Asr on the 13th, recite takbirat after every ওয়াজিব সালাত.

## Family Traditions

Gift-giving, wearing best clothes, visiting relatives, sharing meals. A teaching moment for children about sacrifice and gratitude.

## Connecting with হজ্জ

Fast on the Day of আরাফাত. Follow হজ্জ through live coverage or ইহরামOS. Make dua alongside the হাজীগণ.
