And each thing makes life beautiful and calm and events make life joyous and pious. In life, festivals play a vital role.

Festivals occupy an important place in the life of every nation. It shows the connection among the being who is directly associated with the religion. Festivals indicate the culture and traditions of the nation because each country does religious practices differently but festivals bind the nation with the bond of the intangible thread of love, compassion, faith, and peace. It gives immense pleasure to the being.

Each nation has different festivals to celebrate. If I talk about the Islamic followers or Muslims, they have two major festivals to celebrate, one is “Eid-ul-Adha” and “Eid-ul-Fitr”. Eid-ul-Adha is also known as “Eid-ul-Zuha”. It is also known as “Bakri Eid” in the Indian subcontinent. We also know this festival as the “Festival of Sacrifices”. It is basically a reminder of Abraham’s faith and dedication to “Allah”.

According to the belief of Islamic followers or “Muslims”, “Allah” asked Abraham to sacrifice his son for the sake of “Allah”, and even though he was a good man and loved his son very much, his devotion and faith in God was so strong that he didn’t hesitate to take it. He took this bold step and agreed to sacrifice his son. Abraham’s desire to sacrifice his son for the sake of “Allah” caused “Allah” to spare his son’s life, and so a lamb was sacrificed in his place. It was a miracle of “Allah” and it proved that he has authority over all things and the known and unknown.

Due to this holy event in the history of Islam, Muslims now celebrate “Eid-ul-Adha” every year to get the blessings and forgiveness of “Allah”.

“Eid-ul-Adha” is a holy Muslim event celebrated every year around the world with sacrifices, prayers, and food. “Eid-ul-Adha” is also known as Badi Eid and is the second most important festival in Islam. “Eid-ul-Adha” occurs on the 10th of Zil Hajj in the month of Hajj, when all pilgrims to Mecca have performed obligatory events.
