Eid ul Azha is perhaps Islam's most important tradition where animals are sacrificed in the name of Allah, just like Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) went to sacrifice his son (also a Prophet), Hazrat Ismail (A.S), who was then replaced with a lamb. Muslims traditionally sacrifice cow, lambs, goats and camel for this occasion. It also marks Haj, annual pilgrimage to Makkah and its surroundings.
