Maybe nothing, maybe something? I dont know, just please be safe, aware and alert more than usual the next 24 hours or so. Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is observed on October 4, 2014, in the United States. One of two feast festivals celebrated by Muslims, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of the Islamic calendar’s last month, Dhu al-Hijjah. Eid al-Adha falls within the annual pilgrimage to Mecca known as the hajj. Determining the exact date of Eid al-Adha is a point of contention and some wait for an official announcement from the authorities in Mecca. Muslims celebrate the holiday to commemorate their belief in Abrahams willingness to follow Gods command to sacrifice his son Ishmael, and Ishmaels consent to being sacrificed. Today, it is is marked by slaughtering animals to feed the poor. Coming at the end of the hajj, a journey of dedication and purification, Eid al-Adha is understood as an opportunity for second chances. According to the Quran, when Ishmael (known as Ismael in Arabic) was 13, his father, Abraham (Ibrahim), began having inconceivable dreams in which God instructed him to sacrifice Ishmael (Quran Surah 37). Unbelievable as the dreams were, Abraham decided to follow Allahs instructions -- but not before asking Ishmael if he would agree to this. The son did not hesitate, showing ultimate submission to Gods will by telling his father to go through with the sacrifice. But at the very moment that Abraham raised the knife, Allah told him to stop -- they had passed the test -- and to replace Ishmael with a sacrificial ram. In the Quran, Abraham is rewarded for his faith with a second son, Isaac. huffingtonpost/2014/10/03/eid-al-adha-2014_n_5927040.html
