Hi Amjad, no this is not a Sedum. It looks to be either a type of Euphorbia, or a Pachypodium. You can tell right away if it's a Euphorbia from the caustic white sap - please be careful if this is the case; the sap can be poisonous and cause dermatitis or even blindness.

You can see more about Euphorbia here and on Dave's Garden Website here.

Hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction!
Jacki
