VARIOUS OF MUSLIMS PERFORMING EID AL-ADHA PRAYERS AT UMAYYAD MOSQUE SCRIPT Muslims in the Syrian capital gathered on Friday, June 6, to perform the first Eid al-Adha prayers since the reported collapse of the Assad regime, marking a significant moment of change amid years of conflict and political upheaval. Footage shows the historic Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and believers arriving at the mosque to perform the Eid prayer. Eid al-Adha, or the Festival of Sacrifice, marks the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca or Hajj, during which Muslims slaughter goats, sheep and other animals. The Hajj pilgrimage is the fifth pillar of the Islamic faith which must be performed by all Muslims if financially viable at least once in their lives. It includes several rituals meant to symbolize the essential concepts of the Islamic faith and to commemorate the trials of Prophet Abraham and his family.
