It is remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. Families gather and communities unite, preparing their home for Eid al-Adha. In this way it becomes a joyful and meaningful task.

Eid al-Adha calls for a clean and welcoming home like any major celebration. Start your preparations at least one week in before so you are not overwhelmed at the last moment. You can include following things in your checklist:

During Eid decorations even simple touches can transform your space into a warm and festive haven.

Engage your children in making paper lanterns or hand-drawn Eid signs that builds excitement for the celebration.

Make necessary arrangements for cleanliness and hygiene if you are performing the sacrifice at home. Contact a certified butcher in advance through a reputable organization.
