Eid al-Adha is one of the two most important days in the calendar of Muslim believers, along with Eid al-Fitr. The latter, according to Islamic tradition, honors Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as an act of submission to God's command, before God intervenes, through his angel Gabriel, and informs Ibrahim that his sacrifice has been accepted. already.
The name "Kurban Bajrami" in the Albanian language is borrowed from Turkish - Kurban Bayramë, which means "Festival of Sacrifice". In the Hijri (Islamic) calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah and lasts for four days. In the Gregorian calendar, the date varies from year to year, moving approximately 11 days earlier each year. To sum it up in a few words, Eid al-Adha is the celebration of defeating our ego, defeating the ego that always wants to be ahead.
