Also known as “Greater Eid”, this occasion is celebrated to remember the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim. He accepted to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of submission to Allah, but then the child was replaced with a goat by Jibreel(AS) by the command of the Almighty. On this day, the Muslim community likes to sacrifice sheep, lambs, and camels.

  1. Small correction,
    Prophet Ishmael(PBUH) was not sacrificed. Actually Prophet Ibrahim(PBUH) accepted to sacrifice his son, but then the child was replaced with a goat by Jibreel(AS) by the command of the Almighty.

  2. Most of the so called Literate Distinguished do not know the fact, there is NO Eid called Bakr~Eid in Islam. It is not Bakar, Bakr, or Bakra at all ! It is Eid-ul-Azha 1436 AH this year. Actually The Bakra-Eid is a Urdu coined festival of Bakra, in fact it is BAQARA or BAQRA or BAQAR meaning The Cow. Rather it is the Cow-Festival. Thats why RSS & BJP are irritated when Baqar-Eid is celebrated !!!
