Muslims have been encouraged to unite and remember the less fortunate as they prepare to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha.

Eid-ul-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham's) profound devotion and obedience to Allah.

The holiday recounts the story where Ibrahim was commanded to sacrifice his son, Ismail. As Ibrahim prepared to fulfill the commandment without hesitation, Allah intervened, replacing Ismail with a ram. This act symbolises ultimate submission and trust in divine will.
