  I join the Moslem Community in Uganda and across the world, to celebrate  Eid al- Adha  or the  Feast of Sacrifice.      In the Islamic faith, Eid al-Aha is celebrated in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim’s act of faith and obedience to Allah. According to the Holy Scriptures, Allah was pleased with him, because he did not hesitate to sacrifice his son, Ismail.
