Bakrid
Bakrid, also known as Eid al-Adha, is an important Islamic festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Isma'il (Ishmael) in obedience to God's command. The festival falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and is marked by prayers, feasting, and acts of charity.
During Bakrid, families perform the ritual of animal sacrifice, usually a sheep, goat, or cow, symbolizing Ibrahim's devotion. The meat is then divided into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives, and one for the needy. This practice emphasizes the values of sharing, compassion, and gratitude within the community.
