Bakrid has special importance in Islam. According to the belief of Islamic religion, Hazrat Ibrahim sacrificed his son Hazrat Ismail on the orders of God on this day in the path of God. After seeing his passion, God gave life to his son. This festival is celebrated in memory of the sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim. After this, with the command of Allah, Islamic law was introduced to sacrifice animals in place of humans.
