Muslims in many parts of the world are celebrating Eid Ul Adha today, including in the UAE (in several other parts, Eid will be held tomorrow). And UAE rulers joined the public in morning Eid prayers and then later greeted the mosque-goers.

HH Sheikh Mohammed, himself, and HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum were seen performing Eid Al Adha prayer at Zabeel Mosque in Dubai

They were joined with a number of Sheikhs, officials, and a crowd of worshippers.

The Eid sermon discussed the spiritual significance of the auspicious occasion and the importance held by sacrifices in Islam. It also discussed tolerance, forgiveness, love, and acceptance.

HH Sheikh Hamdan also shared pictures from the mosque on his social media
