Sacrifice and the search for truth: Eid al-Adha opens the way for spiritual conversations

International (MNN) —For many Muslims around the world, Eid al-Adha this year begins the evening of May 26. The holiday commemorates Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God.“Muslims think that it wasn't Isaac — it was Ishmael. There is a big discussion about it,” says Pastor Saleem Shalash. He serves at Home of Jesus the King Church, a partner of Beit Hallel Congregation in Nazareth, Israel.Sacrifice is central to Eid al-Adha (Stock photo courtesy of Diyar Shahbaz via Unsp
