Hundreds of Muslims today converged in Mosques and open grounds in Mombasa to offer special prayers for Eid-ul-Adha.
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as Eid-ul-Hajj, is celebrated to mark the end of a pilgrimage that revolves around the activities of Abraham and his son.
During the festival of Eid ul-Adha, Muslims acknowledge the devotion of Ibrahim, who was willing to sacrifice his son, Ismail, under the order of Allah SWT (God)
Ibrahim, also known as Abraham, is a prominent figure in Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
This story in different versions is in the Quran, the Bible, and the Old Testament, which shows the common heritage of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
More than 2 million 160 countries began the annual hajj pilgrimage Sunday in Saudi Arabia. The five-day hajj pilgrimage represents one of the world's biggest gatherings every year.
