CASABLANCA, Morocco — Flocks of sheep once quilted Morocco’s mountain pastures, stretched across Algeria’s vast plateaus and grazed along Tunisia’s green coastline. But the cascading effects of climate change have sparked a region-wide shortage that is being felt acutely as Muslims throughout North Africa celebrate Eid al-Adha .

Adha, a major Islamic holiday commemorating Prophet Ibrahim's devotion, is celebrated with sacrifice and community. While "Eid al-Adha" aligns with Arabic pronunciation, "Eid-ul-Adha" is common in South Asia due to linguistic influences.

The rest of the holiday is spent visiting family and friends, exchanging greetings and gifts, and sharing festive meals. The most common greeting is Eid Mubarak. The Arabic saying translates to “blessed Eid”. Here is how people say Eid Mubarak in different languages around the world.

Under the damaged dome of al-Albani Mosque in Khan Younis, families stood on broken stone and dust, raising their voices in takbir, the declaration of god's greatness, to mark the first morning of Eid al-Adha on Friday.

The annual Eid al-Adha carnival returned to Rochester Sunday that celebrated the Islamic holiday, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice."

PM Modi recently extended warm wishes to Professor Muhammad Yunus, the chief advisor of the interim government of Bangladesh, and its people on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.
