IRAQ - EID UL ADHA

By: Valeria C

One of the most important holidays in the Muslim calendar is Eid ul Adha. This holiday is a festival of sacrifice which pays homage to the Prophet Abraham’s unselfish act of sacrificing his son, Ishmael, to God. In turn, God spared the boy’s life. During this holiday they eat a cow.

Iraq has lots of beautiful places like the capital city of Baghdad, Kufa, Karbala, Balad, Basra, Smarra, Najaf, Moosayab, Hillha, and Kadhmayn. These places are beautiful for their deserts and customs. The official language of Iraq is Arabic, Kurdish and Assyrian.
