Millions of Muslims around the world will celebrate the second holy festival of the year at the end of the month.
In May, Muslims marked Eid al-Fitr after abstaining from food and drink from sunrise to sunset during the fasting period of Ramadan.
But Muslims are soon to commemorate another Islamic holiday known as the Feast of Sacrifice - Eid al-Adha.
However celebrations will look very different this year amid measures against coronavirus.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the festival; when Eid al-Adha is, why it's celebrated, and how:
What date is Eid al-Adha?
This year the holy festival will start on the evening of Thursday, July 30 and will come to a close four days later on Monday, August 3.
Eid al-Adha falls under the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, the same as Hajj, so it's considered to be a particular sacred month of the year.
The festival dates change each year because the occasion is celebrated on the tenth day of that month, which of course changes each year.
Is the Hajj pilgrimage still taking place?
The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia coincides with celebrations of Eid al-Adha, which sees Muslims who are physically and financially capable embark on the journey at least once in their lifetime.
However due to coronavirus, the pilgrimage has been dramatically scaled back.
International visitors are banned from taking the journey, and those that can take part have to undergo temperature checks and virus tests.
Worshippers will also have to quarantine before and after the pilgrimage. Face masks will be mandatory at all times.
In normal times, around two million Muslims would perform the pilgrimage, whereas this year only 10,000 pilgrims are expected.
What is the festival about?
Eid al-Agha honours Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son to obey God’s command.
Abraham was a prophet and messenger, and despite being willing to sacrifice his son, God instead provided a lamb for him to sacrifice.
How is it celebrated?
Similarly to Eid al-Fitr, the greeting Eid Mubarak is shared and gifts are exhanged.
Places of worship reopened on July 4, so unlike Eid al-Fitr, Muslims will be able to pray at mosques.
Families and large groups usually get together to mark the occasion to pray and enjoy a feast - however big events won't be allowed to go ahead due to social distancing and rules on how many households can meet.
In commemoration of sacrifice, Muslims in some countries will slaughter their animals and divide the meat into three parts; typically a third is kept for the family, another is given to friends and relatives, and a final third is donated to the poor.
