Muslims celebrate two distinct annual festivals, each with its own unique significance: Eid al-Fitr marks the successful completion of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, while Eid al-Adha commemorates the absolute devotion and willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son for Allah.
