Idul-Azha or the festival of sacrifice is the second of the two festivals of Islam. Bakrid is one of the most important festivals in the Muslim calendar. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son on Allah’s command.


According to Islamic belief, Allah wanted to test Ibrahim and told him to sacrifice his son Ismail. He agreed to do so, but found his paternal feelings hard to suppress. So, he blindfolded himself before putting Ismail at the altar on Mount Mina, near Mecca. When he removed his blindfold after the sacrifice, he saw his son standing in front of him. On the altar lay slaughtered a lamb.


It is in honour of this test of faith that Muslims around the world sacrifice animals on the occasion to show their faith in Allah.
