As the Hajj pilgrimage reaches its culmination, with millions of Muslims worldwide participating in the sacred rites and celebrating Eid al-Adha, we are reminded of the significance of unity, sacrifice, and compassion. The Hajj, a cornerstone of Islamic faith, exemplifies devotion and resilience, especially in the face of challenges such as the climate change-driven extreme heat experienced now around the globe and the seemingly ever-present geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa.
Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering faith and willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God, a story shared across Islamic, Christian, and Jewish traditions.
