Bakrid is one of the biggest festivals among Muslims. People celebrate Bakrid with great pomp and show. It is a tradition to sacrifice goats on this day and then some portion of goat meat is offered to Allah. Some part of it is distributed among the poor, friends, and family.

Story of Bakrid

There is a belief behind the sacrificial goat that on this day, Allah had asked Hazrat Ibrahim for the best thing he had, in return, Hazrat Ibrahim, as his most close, offered the sacrifice of his son Ismail. When Hazrat keeps his son for sacrifice, a goat is sacrificed the next moment by the miracle of Allah in his place. Allah wanted to test Hazrat and seeing him pass in it, Allah accepted the goat sacrifice in exchange for his son.
