Millions of Muslims in the Philippines has observed Eidul Adha Festival or Feast of Sacrifice this year. Bangsamoro Muslims in Manila, in the Visayas region and here in Mindanao celebrates the day when Prophet Ibrahim and his son Prophet Ismail passed the test of Allah.
Allah has ordered prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son but the evil tempted Ibrahim not to slaughter his only son however Ibrahim and Ismail religiously fulfilled what was commanded to them and had toppled the shaytan.
Ibrahim executed what he saw in his dream when he commanded by Allah to offer his son for a sacrifice. Muslim scholars says that when he is about to kill Ismail, Allah ordered angel Jibril to replace his son with animal like sheep.
