The Muslim girls of the group explained to everyone why the Eid was celebrated: they told the story of the Prophet Ibrahim and how he was ordered in a dream to slaughter his own son. He saw this dream three times, and then told his son Ismail what he had to do. His son did not refuse, but told his father that he should obey the command. As the Prophet was about to kill his son, God sent the angel Gabriel with a sheep to sacrifice instead. Ibrahim had obeyed God, and had been ready to sacrifice his son.

The girls also talked about what Muslims did to celebrate the Eid: on the first day they get up early and go to the Mosque to pray. Then, after they finish praying, some of the people visit relatives and wish them a happy holiday. Everyone then goes home to slaughter the sheep. Some prefer to do it the other way around: first, they slaughter the sheep and then visit and bless relatives. The girls added that when a sheep is slaughtered, its meat is divided into three thirds: a third is given to the poor, a third is given to relatives and a third is taken by the owner of the sheep. On this holiday, many people travel to Saudi Arabia to fulfill the commandment of the Hajj. This is an important holiday for everyone, especially children, who are very happy to wear new clothes and visit their relatives, where they usually receive money as a gift.

During the Eid, several weeks earlier, the group had filmed the slaughtering a sheep, and after the talk, they presented the video. Then everyone got up to fellowship with one another, and to participate in an activity related to Eid. They also danced Debka together, and enjoyed the moment, as always. By
