Eid al-Adha, or Eid ul-Adha, is a major Muslim holiday to mark the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.

Eid al-Adha is marked by festivals, prayers, gifts and animal sacrifices.

Muslims traditionally celebrate Eid al-Adha by sacrificing animals and sharing the meat with the poor.

Eid al-adha 2009: Friday, November 27, 2009.

Eid al Adha is the biggest religious festival of the Muslim community. Eid al Adha is also called the festival of sacrifice. In the history of this day, Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) went to sacrifice his son Prophet Ismael (Ismail) in order to keep his word to Allah (swt). Since that time, Muslims celebrate this day as both a tradition and a duty to Allah(swt). This festival lasts four or more days, depending on the country in which it is celebrated.

It marks the end of the annual pilgrimage (Hajj) of muslims all over the world to the holy city (Mecca of Saudi Arabia). In Islam, it is considered one of the main duties for those who have the physical and financial ability to do this. The Eid al Adha is celebrated 2 months and 10 days after the first Eid, Eid al fitr. Eid al adha in 2009 is Today Friday,November 27,2009.

The Message - The Story of Islam

Perhaps the single greatest motion picture ever made dealing with Islam. The Message (Al-Risala) is now available in a new digitally mastered version, presented in widescreen with optimized picture and sound.

"It is the 7th century in Mecca, where powerful leaders are in conflict with the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) who attacks their way of life and the injustice it produces. After seeing a vision of the Angel Gabriel, the Messenger calls the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols of the Kaaba and worship only one God. Despite bitter opposition from the leaders of Mecca, the Prophet and his faithful followers meet secretly to listen to the revelations of the word of God. The leaders respond with persecution, forcing the Muslims to leave Mecca and take sanctuary in Medina. After a revelation from God, the Prophet agrees to take arms against Mecca and battle until justice reigns. The idols of Kaaba are destroyed and the holy place is dedicated to the worship of one God."

This is the stunning epic of Islam produced and directed by Moustapha Akkad. Includes the one hour documentary The Making of an Epic, plus the English and Arabic theatrical trailers. This classic has inspired thousands of Muslims throughout the world, and should be a part of every home video library. Makes a great gift!

This movie was also approved by Al-Azhar University.
