Eid al-Adha 宰牲节

Eid al-Adha, Festival of the Sacrifice, also called the Sacrifice Feast or Bakr-Eid, is the second of two Muslim holidays celebrated worldwide each year.

Eid al-Adha is considered the holiest of the two.

It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, as an act of submission to Allah's command.

Allah then intervened, through his angel Jibra'il (Gabriel) and informed him that his sacrifice had already been accepted.

The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts.

The family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy.


In the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the tenth day of Dhū al-Ḥijjah and lasts for four days.

The word Eid appears once in Al-Ma'ida, the fifth surah of the Quran, with the meaning solemn festival.

Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a sunnah prayer of two rakats followed by khutbah (sermon).

Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hujjaj, the pilgrims performing the Hajj, from Mount Arafat, a hill east of Mecca.

Eid sacrifice may take place until sunset on the 13th day of Dhū al-Ḥijjah.

In Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia, Eid al-Adha is more commonly known as Hari Raya Haji.


宰牲节,牺牲的节日,也叫牺牲盛宴或 Bakr-Eid,是全球穆斯林每年共庆两大节日的第二个。

宰牲节是两个节日中被认为最神圣的。

荣誉赐予依布拉欣(亚伯拉罕)愿意牺牲自己的儿子,作为提交给上苍的命令的行为。

然后上苍介入,通过他的天使 Jibra'il(加布里埃尔),并告诉他,他的牺牲已经被接受。

宰牲的肉被分成三分。

三分之一保留给自己;另外三分之一分给亲戚、朋友和邻居;而剩余的三分之一分给穷人和有需要的人。

在回历,宰牲节落在 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 月份的第十天,为期四天。

Eid 这个词在 Al- Ma'ida,可兰经的第五章出现过一次,其意义就是隆重的节日。

像开斋节,宰牲节始于圣训祈祷的两个规定膜拜动作随后布道。


宰牲节的庆祝活动是朝圣者进行朝觐后,从阿拉法特山 - 麦加以东的一个小山下来之后开始。

宰牲节的牺牲仪式可一直执行,直到 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 月份的第十三天日落为止。

在新加坡、文莱和马来西亚,宰牲节是通常被称为哈芝节。
