Eid al-Adha cards full of blessings
Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, is one of the two major celebrations in Islam. It takes place during the Hajj season and commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Many families perform qurbani, sharing meat with relatives, neighbors and those in need, after a special Eid prayer.

The holiday centers on faith, generosity and gratitude, so cards often wish blessings, acceptance of prayers and safe return for anyone performing Hajj. Eid Mubarak and Eid al-Adha Mubarak are the familiar greetings. People send cards to family, friends and colleagues, and especially to pilgrims and their families back home.

Design idea
Upload a photo of your family after Eid prayer, the mosque at sunset, or a festive table, crop it landscape, and use "Shadows" so the silhouettes glow in pearl foil on navy paper. For a warmer feel, choose "Details" with gold foil on cream and add a foil border to frame the scene.

Questions
What is the difference between Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan's month of fasting. Eid al-Adha comes about two months later, during Hajj, and honors Ibrahim's devotion through sacrifice and sharing. Both are joyful festivals, and Eid Mubarak works as a greeting for either.
What should I write to someone performing Hajj?
Wish them Hajj Mubarak or ask that their Hajj be accepted, and pray for a safe journey and return. Many people also ask the pilgrim to remember them in their prayers. Keep the tone humble, warm and sincere.
