This festival is celebrated with great joy and fervor all\nover the world. Eid-al-Adha is celebrated by the Muslim community on\nthe 10th day of the Muslim month of Zul-Hijja. On this auspicious\nday, the Muslims are supposed to sacrifice a goat and offer prayers\nat the mosque. There is an interesting story behind the celebration\nof this festival. It marks the spirit of sacrifice. Let us have a\nlook as to why Bakrid is celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nStory\nOf The Sacrifice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nThis\nfestival is a commemoration of Hazrat Ibrahim&#8217;s great test of\nobedience to Allah. Once Hazrat Ibrahim saw a dream in which Allah\nordered him to sacrifice his most precious thing. He kept seeing the\ndream for many days. Then he described the dream to his wife that\nAllah wants him to sacrifice his most precious thing. After much\ndiscussion, Hazrat Ibrahim and his wife decided to sacrifice their\nonly son for the sake of Allah because their son was most precious\nfor both of them. Then he asked his son, Ismail for his consent.\nIsmail readily agreed to be sacrificed for the sake of Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Hazrat\nIbrahim was all set to sacrifice his son at the gallows. As he put\nthe sword at his son&#8217;s throat, Hazrat Ismail vanished and he was\nreplaced by a sheep. Then there was a prophecy that Allah was only\ntesting Hazrat Ibrahim&#8217;s faith. He need not sacrifice his son and he\ncould sacrifice a ram or a sheep instead. Hence, the festival of\nBakrid or Eid-al-Adha came to be celebrated. There are a few\nguidelines regarding the sacrificed meat in Islam. According to the\nrules, the sacrificed meat is to be divided into three parts. The\nlarger part of the meat is to be shared with all the poor and needy\nwho cannot afford to have meat or a meal of the day. The two smaller\nparts are to be shared with friends, relatives and family.\nEid-ul-Zuha is a time of celebration. People offer prayers at the\nmosque. The prayers can only be offered when the sun has completely\nrisen. Women are also encouraged to attend the prayers however it is\nnot compulsory. The distribution of the sacrificed meat among the\npoor is the most important part of the festival. This distribution is\ndone to make sure that no impoverished person is left without an\nopportunity to partake the meat. <em>Thus,\nMuslims celebrate Bakrid or Eid-al-Adha to mark the spirit of\nsacrifice. It is a time of great joy and lavish feasts. More than\nthat <\/em><em>this\nfestival is a celebration of unity and brotherhood<\/em><em>.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bakrid, is also known as Eid-ul-Zuha or Eid-al-Adha which means the Eid of sacrifice.
