The second of two major Muslim holidays, the other being Eid al-Fitr, is known as Eid al-Adha. 

The Hajj journey, the act of sacrifice known as udhiya, and the beautiful first ten days of the month of Dhal Hijjah are the first things that come to mind when we think about Eid-ul-Adha.

Following Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr is Eid-ul Adha, which we eagerly anticipate. A celebration honouring the Hajj, the obligatory journey to Makkah that every Muslim who is physically able to do so makes at least once in their lifetime, is held to commemorate all of its major aspects.

The origins of Hajj, however, can be traced back to a parenting voyage, which is a distinct type of pilgrimage. The pilgrimage's ceremonies itself commemorate the sacrifices made by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, and his wife Hajar, may Allah be pleased with her.

The Muslim holiday of Eid ul-Adha essentially signifies the conclusion of the Hajj, or journey to Makkah. This Eid, commonly referred to as the Eid of sacrifice, essentially honours Abraham's faith and commitment to Allah.

According to Muslim belief, Abraham was a good man who loved his son dearly, but when Allah asked him to sacrifice his son for the sake of Allah, Abraham did not hesitate because his devotion to God and confidence in Him were so powerful (Huda, 2011).

Because Abraham was eager to offer his son as a sacrifice for Allah, Allah spared the life of the child, and a lamb was offered in his place. This was a miracle from Allah, demonstrating his control over both known and unknowable objects. Muslims now observe Eid ul-Adha every year in order to obtain Allah’s blessings and pardon because of this revered event in Islamic history.

This is also wahy Eid ul-Adha is called Bakra-eid or Bakrid.
