Bakrid, also known as Eid-ul-Adha, is a significant Islamic festival celebrated globally, emphasizing faith, devotion, and sacrifice. Observed on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the festival's date changes each year based on moon sightings. In India, Eid-ul-Adha will fall on May 28, 2026. The festival, also referred to as the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates the story of Prophet Ibrahim, who was commanded by God to sacrifice his son Ismail as a test of faith. As Ibrahim prepared for this act, God intervened, replacing Ismail with a ram, symbolizing complete submission to divine will. During Bakrid, Muslims dress in new or traditional attire and partake in special prayers at mosques or open spaces. Following the prayers, the ritual of Qurbani is performed, involving the sacrifice of animals such as goats, sheep, camels, or buffaloes. The meat is traditionally divided into three portions: one for the family, another for relatives and friends, and the last for those in need, highlighting the values of compassion, sharing, and community welfare.
