This is important because Eid al-Adha was never intended to be merely a ritual of slaughter. At its core, it is an act of devotion rooted in obedience, humility, gratitude, and compassion. The Qur’an makes this principle clear in Surah al-Hajj when it reminds believers that neither the meat nor the blood of the sacrificed animal reaches Allah, but rather the piety and consciousness behind the act itself.

But this year, after more than eight months of a devastating Israeli campaign that has flattened much of Gaza, displaced most of the besieged territory's 2.4 million people and sparked repeated warnings of famine, the Eid is a day of misery for many.
