Nigerian Muslims have joined their counterparts around the world to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir, also known as the festival of sacrifice, which is the second of two great Muslim festivals.
For many Muslims, Eid-el-Kabir marks the culmination of the hajj and is celebrated by Muslims throughout the world. It is also to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to a command from God.
The period is observed with Eid prayers, charity, social gatherings, festive meals, gift sharing and so much more.
