## 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 shalat, 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 Dzulhijjah. Meat divided in thirds: family, relatives, poor.
## Takbir During Dzulhijjah
From Fajr on the 9th through Asr on the 13th, recite takbirat after every wajib shalat.
## Family Traditions
