One of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar is Hari Raya Haji. Falling on the 10th of Zulhijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar, it marks the successful conclusion of the pilgrimage to Mecca. The sacrifice of cows or goats are made in various mosques to commemorate Prophet Abraham's test of faith by God when he was asked to sacrifice his son, Ismail. The meat from the sacrifice is then given to the poor, friends and also the person who performed the sacrifice.
