Kurban-bajram pada u vrijeme hadždža i njime se slavi spremnost Abrahama da žrtvuje svog sina Ismaila kao akt predanosti Bogu, nakon čega on intervenira da se namjesto toga žrtvuje ovan.
Eid-ul-Adha falls during the time of hajj and commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God before he intervenes to sacrifice a ram instead.
