Kurban bayram

Kurban bayram
Kurban-bayram or 'Eid al-adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى - holiday of sacrifice) is the Islamic holiday of the end of the Hajj, celebrated 70 days after the festival of Uraza-bayram, on the 10th day of the month of Zul-hijah in memory of the sacrifice of Ibrahim, considered to be a prophet in Islam. The exact date of the celebration according to the Gregorian calendar may vary in different countries.
According to the Qur'an, the angel Jabrail appeared to Ibrahim in a dream and gave him the command from Allah to sacrifice his son. In the Koran, the name of the son is not named, however, in the legend, the eldest son is almost always called Ismail. In contrast to Islamic tradition, the Bible (Taurat) contains another son of Ibrahim, Ishak (Isaac). Ibrahim went to the valley of Mina to the place where Mecca now stands, and began preparations. His son, who knew about this, did not resist, but cried and prayed, as he was obedient to his father and Allah. However, this turned out to be a test from Allah, and when the sacrifice was almost made, Allah made it so that the knife could not cut. The sacrifice of the son was replaced by a ram, and Ibrahim was given the successful second birth of his son - Ishak (Isaac).
The Arabic name for the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى 'Īd' al-'Aḍḥā) is translated as “the festival of the sacrifice.” In Russian, the name Kurban-Bayram was fixed (the first mention of Athanasius Nikitin was Kurban-Bagrym). The first part of this name comes from the Turkic kurban - the victim (in Arabic - zabih), the second part - the Turkic word bayram ("holiday"). So it is called in different languages, primarily in the Turkic themselves. Often, instead of the word bayram, the word Hades is used (from Arabic: عيد - holiday), for example, in the Kyrgyz language - Kurman-Ait.
In the Muslim tradition, kurban refers to everything that brings a person closer to God, and the ritual slaughter of an animal on a holiday implies a spiritual appeal to God.
The Feast of Sacrifice is the culmination of the Hajj in Mecca. On the eve of the pilgrims ascend Mount Arafat, and on the day of the Sacrifice they perform a symbolic throwing of stones and tawaf (a seven-fold round around the Kaaba).
