History and importance of sacrifice
The tradition of making sacrifice on Bakrid is linked to Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihissalam. According to Islamic belief, Allah asked him to sacrifice his most beloved son Hazrat Ismail to test his faith. Ibrahim (peace be upon him) accepted this order of Allah without any doubt and got ready to sacrifice his son. But when they were about to do so, seeing their intentions and faith, Allah sent a lamb (lamb) in place of Ismail. This incident is considered the foundation of the tradition of sacrifice in Islam. Since then, every year Muslims sacrifice a goat, sheep, camel or ox on this day, so that they can remember the faith of Ibrahim and his dedication to Allah.
