At 14 percent Muslim, Suriname has a higher percentage of Muslims than any other country in the Western Hemisphere. Most of these are of Indonesian or Indian descent, their ancestors having brought their Muslim faith with them when they immigrated to Suriname.

For Idul Adha, Muslims in Suriname will go to early morning mosque services and public prayer sessions. They will also sacrifice a cow, goat, sheep, or other animal to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice Ishmael and the ram that Allah provided in place of Ishmael for a sacrifice.

The rest of the day is spent at festive get-togethers with family and friends at home and visiting friends and relatives door-to-door.
