Wolof: ÉDITION SPÉCIALE LOLOU Eid-al-Adha AK 'ARAFAH

Eid al-Adha is a four-day Islamic festival that commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as commanded by Allah, but was given a ram to sacrifice instead. During the festival, Muslims pray, listen to sermons, wear new clothes, visit family and friends, and may symbolically sacrifice an animal in an act known as qurbani, with the meat often given to the poor. The festival is not about atoning for sins but symbolizes a willingness to make sacrifices to stay on the Straight Path and obey Allah's commands.

The "prostrations of forgetfulness" (sujjud us-sahu) are two prostrations made during prayer in Islam to rectify mistakes or doubts about the number of prayer units (rak’at) performed.

Food inflation in The Gambia has decreased by 4.1% to 15.6% in December 2023, due to a significant drop in the prices of bread, cereals, and meat.
