Eid ul Adha, the festival of sacrifice. It is commonly known as Bakra Eid. It is a religious festival of Muslims celebrated all over the world. Muslims sacrifice Goat, Cow, Sheep or a Camel and send the meat to the poor people as a donation. Eid ul Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for three days after the Hajj.
The practice of Qurbani can be traced back when Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) dreamt that Allah ordered him to sacrifice his most valuable thing and to him his son Hazrat Ismail (AS) was the dearest thing. So he agreed to follow the commands of Allah and sacrifice his son. But a miracle happened and in place of Hazrat Ismail (A.S) Allah replaced an animal and informed Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) that his sacrifice has been accepted. From that day onward, every Eid ul Adha is celebrated once a year and Muslims around the world slaughter an animal to commemorate Hazrat Ibrahim's sacrifice and to remind themselves of self-abnegation in the way of Allah.
Firstly the Eid Prayer is mandatory. After the prayer the animals are sacrificed. And then the Eid is celebrated. People enjoy feats together and give it to poor as well.
