Muslims buy some items to use while praying. Eid al-Adha commemorates Ibrahim’s obedience to Allah when he accepted a divine command to sacrifice his son Ismail, though Allah provided a ram in his place.
Addressing thousands of worshippers, the Mufti of Rwanda, Sheikh Mussa Sindayigaya, called on Muslims to remain united and steadfast in their faith, saying Eid should strengthen both spirituality and social cohesion. Photo by Craish BAHIZI
