Ahmadi Muslim Americans will join Muslims worldwide in celebrating Islam's greatest festival called Eid ul Adha. Literally meaning Festival of Sacrifice, Eid ul Adha is the largest Muslim holiday annually commemorating the holy and shared patriarch Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his own son solely for the sake of God along with his son's obedience to God's will all recorded in the Holy Quran. It also marks the completion of the sacred Hajj pilgrimage to the Holy Kaaba in Mecca.
