epa11407600 A blacksmith sharpens knives ahead of the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha in Peshawar, Pakistan, 13 June 2024. Eid al-Adha is one of the holiest Muslim holidays of the year. It marks the yearly Muslim pilgrimage, known as Hajj, to visit Mecca. During Eid al-Adha, Muslims slaughter goats, sheep, and cattle in commemoration of the Prophet Abraham's readiness to sacrifice his son to show obedience to God. They split the meat into three parts; one for family, one for friends and relatives, and one for the poor and needy. EPA/BILAWAL ARBAB
