There are numerous religions around the world, each controls its followers`s judgments, customs and even manual festivals. Who does not know Islam, it`s a worldwide religion. This religion which has 1.5 billion followers around the world, celebrates twice a year.After RAMADAN (August) there is a festival named (EID ALFETER), beside another one during HAJ season (November) called (EID ALADHA). Eid aladha is a very unique festival, where Muslims slaughter sheeps with an intention to please god and have a closer relationship with him.
In Islam it is not compulsory for poor or unable to afford individuals to slaughter a sheep. During EID ALADHA each person in the community has a great feeling of communication and linkage with family, friends and neighbors, not just because it is a celebration and a vibrant festival, it is also because the family who slaughter a sheep separate a specific part for themselves and the rest goes to who are in need,not only Muslims.
That is why Islam took care of individuals but never forget about the society as a whole. It seems to be all about food but it is sufficient to reduce selfishness and guarantee that each person is happy and heard. May god keep smiles and festivals for ever.
