Bakri Eid, also known as Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice, holds great historical and cultural significance for Muslims around the world. This annual Islamic festival commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
The history of Bakri Eid dates back to thousands of years ago, when Prophet Ibrahim received a divine command to sacrifice his beloved son, Ismail. As Ibrahim prepared to carry out the sacrifice, Allah intervened and provided a ram as a substitute for Ismail. This event symbolizes the ultimate act of submission to God`s will.
