Adha m{baa}rak

Eid Al Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims (Eid means solemn festival). Eid Al Adha, also known as Festival of Sacrifice or Greater Eid, is the most important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. The most significant factor of this celebration is the ram.

This is to honour the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Isma’il (Ishmael) as an act of obedience to Allah (God), before Allah intervened to provide him with a ram to sacrifice instead. Therefore, Muslims celebrate this admirable act of sacrifice every year (Eid Al Adha).

Usually, after completing Salat Al Eid (Eid prayer), Muslims embrace and exchange greetings, give out gifts, and visit one another as an act of cordiality, friendliness and courtesy. Therefore, I decided to create Eid Al Adha favours that can be distributed at the mosque after performing the Eid prayers.

I did two versions of my Eid favours; both included the ram to symbolise Eid Al Adha. Some of the favour bags were filled with chocolate and others with baklava.

The completed favours were then placed in a basket, ready to be distributed.
