Sacrifice
This is a summary story of the Most High God’s relationship with the world. This story is from a book called the Bible. Men did not make up the Bible. It is the word of the Most High God. The Most High God is more powerful than any ancestor, person, government or god that people worship. This story is true and reliable because it is the word of the Most High God.
Eid al-Adha, (known elsewhere as Eidi Korbon and meaning the 'Festival of Sacrifice') commemorates the story of Abraham's test of faith and the substitution of a ram in place of Abraham's son as a sacrifice to God.
The Qur'an offers a summary of the story in Surah as-Saffat:
The following is the story of Eid al-Adha, as told to the prophet Musa and recorded in the first book of the Tawrat, Genesis. You can also read an esoteric interpretation *here*
Genesis 22:1-19
After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
