We begin a new week today, July 11. July, in case you did not know, is named after the Roman Emperor Julius Ceasar. July 9 (Saturday) was a holiday as the Islamic world celebrated Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha, or the “Feast of Sacrifice,” signifies the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim, known as Abraham in Christianity and Judaism, to sacrifice his son, Ismail as ordered by Allah. It is one of Islam’s most important holidays. July is also Nutrition Month, Blood Donation Month, and National Disaster Resilience Month.
