Muslims all over the world take the pilgrimage to Mecca, the city of god in Saudi Arabia and the festival of Hari raya Haji marks the closure of this annual homage. Also called the Festival of Sacrifice, this religious celebration is conducted to commemorate the compliance of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an ultimate act of obedience to God. On the 10th day of the 12th month in the Muslim calendar Muslims in Singapore and all over the world make animal sacrifices for the sake of religion and community. After congregational prayer, a sheep, cows or a camel is slit in the throat and offered as a sacrifice and the meat is distributed amongst the poor community, neighbours and relatives. Sacrifice as an act of obedience to God is the central motif of this age old Muslim festival.
