"Wishing You A Season Full Of Delight And Brilliant Happiness, Eid-ul-Adha Mubarrak"

 There is a fascinating story that states the significance of Bakri Eid. Once, Allah challenged Prophet Ibrahim, the friend 
of Allah and the father of Prophets. Ibrahim had to prove his faith in Allah. Allah asked him to sacrifice the dearest 
and nearest one in his life. Ibrahim decided to take up the challenge and decided to sacrifice his son Ismail.

His love towards his son was as strong as his faith in Allah. Though his heart went numb, he put his son on the altar 
at the mount of Mina near Mecca. It was impossible to see his son dying in front of his eyes. He could not imagine 
slaying his own child but he could not deny the order of higher power.

He closed his eyes and raised the sharp sword. Reciting Allah's name he divided the head from the body. He opened 
his eyes and could not believe on his senses. His son Ismail was standing healthy and hearty in front of his eyes. A 
dead ram with his head apart was lying in the pool of blood. Ibrahim emerged as a winner as he accepted god's 
challenge with complete faith.

Since then people ardently believe in the mercy of Allah and in the authenticity of Quran. They devotionally sacrifice 
a ram on Eid-Ul-Zuha. On the holy occasion of Eid-Ul-Zuha, prayers are offered by Muslims and animals are sacrificed 
to show faith and sincerity towards Islam. The festival also signifies the Ibrahim's belief in almighty.
