Prayers this Week for Muslims

Eid al-Adha is an annual Muslim holiday that is celebrated this year on July 30-31. Muslims sometimes refer to this day as Qurbani, which means "sacrifice".

Every year during Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – a goat, sheep, cow, camel, or even possibly a water buffalo like the photo below – to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son "Ismail", for the sake of God.

Leading up to this holiday and during this 24-hour period, Muslims are concentrated on their efforts to atone for their sins. This is time when they are sensitive to their need of salvation. This is a pivotal time to pray for Muslims.

They see their need for a blood atonement for their sin - yet don't see the connection that Christ alone has provided the once for all perfect blood atonement of Himself. Pray that God will open blind eyes.
