Eid Al-Adha [1] Prayer

"The director of the Islamic Waqf [2] of the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque announced that the blessed Eid Al-Adha prayer will be held at exactly 06:25.
We ask mighty Allah to accept, from us and you, the good deeds and to return to us and our nation with the best situation, of lifting the trouble and the plague from it [the nation].
Happy holiday."

0202Editor's Notes:
[1] Eid Al-Adha is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year (the other being Eid al-Fitr), and is considered the holier of the two. This year it begins on Thursday night and ends Monday night. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God's command. But, before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead. In commemoration of this intervention, an animal, usually a sheep, is sacrificed ritually and divided into three parts. One share is given to the poor and needy, another is kept for home, and the third is given to relatives.
[2] The Islamic Waqf is an Islamic religious trust (sometimes called an "Islamic Religious Endowments" organization) best known for controlling and managing the current Islamic edifices on and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
