Eid ul-Adha is a significant feast celebrated across the globe by Muslims to commemorate Ibrahim’s (Abraham's) willingness to sacrifice his only son in obedience to God’s command. “We see women and children dying as a result of conflicts in places like Syria and you realise that somebody must sacrifice.
