We have just finished celebrating the Eid Al-Adha holiday here in the UAE. Eid Al Adha is the holiday celebrated by Muslims to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael (not Isaac as Christians believe) as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a sheep— to sacrifice instead.
One of our friends passed along a picture she took of some stamps she saw in Lubbock, TX - celebrating the Eid holiday.
It's a little bit hard for me to translate since it's in calligraphy but Allah is definitely in there.
So, as we would say here, Eid Mubarak (blessed Eid)!
