Arigatou International Geneva wishes all our Muslim friends around the world a blessed Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Adha or festival of the sacrifice, commemorates when God appeared to Ibrahim in a dream and asked him to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience. As Abraham was about to sacrifice his son, God stopped him and gave him a sheep to kill in place of his son.

It is a time for reflection and joy with family and friends.
