Muslims across the world celebrated Eidul Azha, also known as the feast of the sacrifice, on Wednesday.

Celebrated on the 10th of Zilhaj, Eidul Azha marks the culmination of Haj, one of the five pillars of Islam. It marks the end of the Haj and commemorates Prophet Ibraham’s (AS) readiness to sacrifice his son to show obedience to Allah.

This year, Eid is being celebrated across much of the Muslim world under the shadow of the US-Iran war in the Middle East.
