Bishkek, July 9, 2022. / Kabar /. President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov took part in the festive Ait prayer on the occasion of the Kurman Ait (Eid al-Adha - the Feast of Sacrifice) holiday in Bishkek.
The top leadership of the country, representatives of the clergy, as well as tens of thousands of Kyrgyzstanis gathered for the festive Ait prayer.
Kurman Ait, or Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two official Islamic holidays celebrated within Islam (the other being Eid al-Fitr).
The tradition for Eid al-Adha involves slaughtering an animal and sharing the meat in three equal parts – for family, for relatives and friends, and for poor people. The goal is to make sure every Muslim gets to eat meat. The celebration has a clear message of devotion, kindness and equality.
The faithful will dress in their best clothing and attend special morning prayers, after which they visit friends and family. Lots of food is prepared, making sure that the needy are included and don’t go hungry.
