Muslims across the country have called for unity and compassion as they joined millions around the world in celebrating Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice.

Eid al-Adha, celebrated yesterday, is usually marked by early morning prayers, acts of charity, and the ritual slaughter of animals in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim's obedience to God.
