There are five foundations in Islam, namely Shahadah, Salat, Siyam, Zakat and Haji. Haji Festival comes from pilgrimage.

For Muslims, pilgrimage to Mecca, the birthplace of Muhammad, is the most important journey in their lives, and Haji Festival is to commemorate this religious activity and celebrate the return of pilgrims, and its importance can be seen. On Haji Day, Muslims will go back to church to pray for a whole day, then hold a ceremony to slaughter livestock, and then distribute meat to relatives, friends and the poor.

The myth of Eid al-Fitr

A long time ago, God said to the prophet Ibrahim, "I want you to give me your most precious thing." Ibrahim thought his most precious thing was his eldest son, so he decided to dedicate his son to God. Just as he was about to kill his son, God came, stopped Ibrahim and said, "I feel your sincerity. Now give the livestock to your son. " Therefore, this time of the year-the first day of the pilgrimage month in the Islamic calendar 10, and the 70th day after Ramadan-is designated as the pilgrimage day.

The three most important things of Haze Day are prayer, sacrifice and sharing. During the hajj, Muslims put on their best clothes and listen to sermons and prayers in mosques.

After the morning prayer meeting, there will be a ceremony to slaughter cattle, sheep and camels in the afternoon. These "sacrificed" animals should be bought back in advance and fed strong and delicious. Generally speaking, male Muslims with better economic conditions should slaughter a sheep, and seven people should slaughter a cow or a camel together.

After the sacrificial ceremony, after the meat of the sacrifice is cleaned, the owner of the sacrifice can divide one third, the remaining one third to his relatives and friends, and the remaining one third to poorer Muslims to show the unity and friendship among Muslims.

Because of this series of ritual activities, it is difficult to see Muslims celebrating this festival with carnival on Haji Festival. Haji Festival is a festival that Muslims attach great importance to spiritual peace.
