Eid Al-Adha, a significant Muslim festival, honors sacrifices made by Hazrat Ibrahim and Ismael. Efforts to ensure proper disposal of sacrificial animal remains are crucial during this time.
Eid Al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is a significant religious observance celebrated by Muslims worldwide. This festival honors the sacrifices made by Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) and Hazrat Ismael (AS) and is a time for believers to commemorate Sunnat-e Ibrahimi by sacrificing animals as a symbolic gesture.
On the third day of Eid Al-Adha, individuals continued to participate in festivities and perform animal sacrifices as part of the religious observance. Civic authorities in various cities have been vigilant during this period, ensuring proper disposal of animal remains and offal. While efforts are being made to promptly remove sacrificial animal remains in some areas like Karachi, there have been reports of sanitation workers neglecting their duties in other neighborhoods, leading to unsanitary conditions.
The tradition of animal sacrifice during Eidul Adha is a way for families to share meat with loved ones and those in need. It symbolizes Prophet Ibrahim's readiness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. The Pakistan government has declared a three-day holiday for Eid, spanning from Monday to Wednesday.
Eid Al-Adha is a time of reflection, sacrifice, and sharing for Muslims around the world. As the celebrations continue, it is essential for communities to ensure proper sanitation practices and uphold the spirit of giving during this auspicious occasion.
