The Muslim festival of sacrifice, id al-adha, is celebrated all over the world annually in the month of pilgrimage. The book examines the foundations of this festival in the Qur’an and early Islamic history. In the analysis it applies ritual theories to the narratives about various sacrifices, esp. the role of Muhammad for the Muslim community.
