Bakra Eid and its History:


Bakr-Eid


The feast of Bakr-eId is an occasion to give and to sacrifice. It is a day to thank the Almighty for one's good fortune and to share it with the less fortunate brethren.

Id-ul-Zuha, or Id-ul-Azha, as it is called in Arabic, translates as 'the feast of sacrifice'. Popularly, Bakr-Id is marked by the slaughter of animals as sacrificial offerings, after which the meat is distributed among the needy and deprived.
However, the concept of sacrifice is better understood through an incident from the Old Testament, which is nothing but an explanation of the concept of Bakr-Id.
