Muslims across the world are preparing to celebrate the annual holiday of Eid al- Adha, or the Festival of Sacrifice, by visiting the tombs of their loved ones and slaughtering sheep, goats, cows and camels, marking the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and in commemoration of Prophet Abraham' s readiness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, on God' s command.
