Bakrid

Bakrid, also known as Eid al-Adha, is a major Islamic festival celebrated by Muslims around the world. The festival falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar.

Bakrid commemorates the story of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of obedience to God. According to the Islamic tradition, just as Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son, God intervened and provided a ram as a substitute.

To mark this event, Muslims around the world sacrifice a domestic animal, such as a sheep, goat, or cow, as an act of obedience and submission to God. The meat is then distributed among family, friends, and the needy.

In addition to the sacrifice, the festival involves special prayers and sermons at the mosque, as well as feasting and celebrations with family and friends. It is a time of joy and gratitude, as Muslims reflect on the importance of sacrifice, faith, and obedience in their lives.

Bakrid is one of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar, and it is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion by Muslims around the world.
