Cows are hoisted from a rooftop of a building in Karachi to be sacrificed for the Eid al-Adha holiday.
It was quite a spectacle that drew thousands of curious onlookers from the neighborhood.
Karachi resident Syed Aijaz Hassan says he buys animals when they are young because they are cheaper than when the holiday approaches and prices shoot up.
Local resident Muhammad Amir, brought his children to watch the animals as they were getting lowered to the ground.
Eid al-Adha commemorates the Quranic tale of Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice Ismail as an act of obedience to God.
Before he could carry out the sacrifice, God provided a ram as an offering.
In the Christian and Jewish telling, Abraham is ordered to kill another son, Isaac.
Known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” the revered observance coincides with the final rites of the annual hajj in Saudi Arabia. #eidaladha2023 #cow #shorts #news
