Gov’t declares Monday 11th July a Public Holiday – The history behind Eid ul-Adha
Eid ul-Adha is a religious holiday celebrated to mark the time when Ibrahim had a dream that he believed was a message from Allah asking him to sacrifice his son Isma’il as an act of obedience to God. The devil tempted Ibrahim by saying he should disobey Allah and spare his son.
