Eid al-Adha also known as the Feast of the Sacrifice, is the second and the biggest celebration within Islam.
This day honours the willingness of the Islamic Prophet Ibrahim, also known as Abraham, to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah’s command.

the Islamic Prophet Ibrahim, also known as Abraham, to sacrifice his son

If Muslims will thoroughly celebrate this holiday, they cannot but understand that Abraham's sacrifice was a symbol of the coming Messiah--Lord Jesus Christ.

How in the world do they not come across this simple mathematics? Truly, one may strain out gnats, but swallow a camel!

It can therefore be rightly said that Christian Passover is Islam's Eid al-Adha (eyd alfash)
