Kurban-bajram (Eid al-Adha) is one of the two major Muslim holidays in Bosnia. It honors the tradition of sacrifice and is observed with special morning prayers at mosques (notably the central service at Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque in Sarajevo) 1. Families perform a ritual animal sacrifice (Qurbani) and distribute the meat to relatives, neighbors and the poor. The head of the Islamic Community has emphasized gratitude and charity as core themes of this holiday 2. Festivities continue with family gatherings and feasting over four days.
Kurban-bajram showcases Bosnian Islamic values of charity and community. Neighbors share meals of sacrifice meat (usually lamb or beef), reflecting communal solidarity. Traditional greetings focus on exchange of blessings and mutual respect during this season of charity.
