Bakra Eid, Bakrid or Eid-ul-Adha is round the corner and many households across the world are preparing for this holy day with sumptuous feats. This day marks the end of Hajj, a holy pilgrimage to Mecca which every Muslim is expected to go on at least once in their lives.
On Bakrid, It is believed that Prophet Ibrahim was asked by God to sacrifice what is the most precious to him and without a thought, he got ready to sacrifice his only son. Just as he was about to act on his promise, God sent angel Jibra'il, who switched his son for a goat.
To honour the sacrifice Ibrahim was so ready to commit, Muslim households sacrifice a goat on this day and divide it into three parts. One part goes to friends and neighbours, one goes to the poor and the other is feasted upon by the family members.
Here are some wishes and quotes you can share with your loved one on this holy day via WhatsApp, post on Facebook or print out into a card.
