HERE THIS IS THE FEAST OF SACRIFICE, IDUL-ADHA, IN INDIA PRONOUNCED IDUL AZHA AND POPULARLY KNOWN AS BAQRI ID, IS CELEBRATED ON THE TENTH DAY OF THE MONTH DHU’L HIJJA. IT IS THE SACRIFICE MADE BY THE PILGRIMS AND PERFORMED AS PART OF THE CEREMONIES OF THE GREAT PILGRIMAGE. WHILE THE PILGRIMS ARE MAKING THEIR SACRIFICES AT MINA, THE CEREMONY IS OBSERVED SIMULTANEOUSLY BY MUSLIMS EVERYWHERE. IT IS PRESCRIBED IN THE QURAN.

“THAT (IS THE COMMAND). AND WHOSO MAGNIFIETH THE OFFERINGS CONSECRATED TO ALLAH, IT SURELY IS FROM DEVOTION OF THE HEARTS.

THEREIN ARE BENEFITS FOR YOU FOR AN APPOINTED TERM; AND AFTERWARD THEY ARE BROUGHT FOR SACRIFICE UNTO THE ANCIENT HOUSE.

AND MY FRIEND THIS IS THE SACRIFICE DAY OF THE MUSLIM RELIGIONS,AND FOR EVERY NATION HAVE WE APPOINTED A RITUAL, THAT THEY MAY MENTION THE NAME OF ALLAH OVER THE BEAST OF CATTLE THAT HE HATH GIVEN THEM FOR FOOD; AND YOUR GOD IS ONE GOD, THEREFORE SURRENDER UNTO HIM. AND GIVE GOOD TIDINGS (MUHAMMAD) TO THE HUMBLE.

WHOSE HEARTS FEAR WHEN ALLAH IS MENTIONED, AND THE PATIENT OF WHATEVER MAY BEFALL THEM, AND THOSE WHO ESTABLISH WORSHIP AND WHO SPEND OF THAT WE HAVE BESTOWED ON THEM.

AND THE CAMELS! WE HAVE APPOINTED THEM AMONG THE CEREMONIES OF ALLAH. THEREIN YE HAVE MUCH GOOD. SO MENTION THE NAME OF ALLAH OVER THEM WHEN THEY ARE DRAWN UP IN LINES. THEN WHEN THEIR FLANKS FALL (DEAD), EAT THEREOF AND FEED THE BEGGAR AND THE SUPPLIANT. THUS HAVE WE MADE THEM SUBJECT UNTO YOU, THAT HAPLY YE MAY GIVE THANKS.

THEIR FLESH AND THEIR BLOOD REACH NOT ALLAH, BUT THE DEVOTION FROM YOU REACHETH HIM. THUS HAVE WE MADE THEM SUBJECT UNTO YOU THAT YOU MAY MAGNIFY ALLAH THAT HE HATH GUIDED YOU. AND GIVE GOOD TIDINGS (0 MUHAMMAD) TO THE GOOD.”‘

IN SOME ASIAN REGIONS BAKRID IS REFERRED TO EID-UL-ADHA IS CELEBRATED IN COMMEMORATION OF THE SUPREME SACRIFICE OF PROPHET IBRAHIM (PEACE BE UPON HIM) OF HIS SON WHICH HE TRIED TO PRESENT TO ALLAH AS COMMANDED TO DO SO. IT WAS ACCEPTED WITHOUT HIS SON'S SACRIFICE WITH AN ANIMAL INSTEAD. IT WAS MERELY A TEST, AND BECAME AN IDEAL EXAMPLE OF COMPLETE SUBMISSION FOR THE REST OF THE MANKIND. EID-UL-ADHA IS CELEBRATED BY EMULATION OF THIS GESTURE AS COMMANDED BY ALLAH, BY OFFERING SACRIFICE OF LAWFUL ANIMALS THEREBY COMPREHENDING IN IMBIBING THE READINESS TO SACRIFICE OF ONE'S OWN EVIL INCLINATIONS, FALSE PRIDE ETC IN THE SAME SPIRIT, FOR COMPLETE SUBMISSION TO ONE TRUE GOD ALONE AND NO ONE ELSE.SPECIFIC PRAYERS ARE HELD ON THIS DAY.

BAKRI-ID

BAKRI-ID.

 My FRIENDS WHY THIS FESTIVALS CELEBRATE,I TELL YOU ,

THERE ARE VARIOUS FESTIVALS IN THE MUSLIM CALENDAR. BUT BAKRIID OR ID-UL-ZUHA IS ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED FESTIVALS AMONG MUSLIMS ALL OVER THE WORLD. IT IS A DAY OF SACRIFICE FOR THE MUSLIMS. ACCORDING TO LEGENDS. IT ALL STARTED WITH A DREAM IN WHICH ALLAH DIRECTED THE PATRIARCH PROPHET IBRAHIM TO SACRIFICE HIS SON ISMAIL. IT WAS IBRAHIM'S FAITH IN ALLAH AND HIS SON'S FAITH IN HIS FATHER THAT WERE ON TEST. BEFORE PERFORMING THE SACRIFICE ISMAIL TIED A CLOTH AROUND HIS FATHER'S EYES. BUT WHEN IBRAHIM OPENED HIS EYES HE FOUND HIS SON SAFE AND SOUND. IN HIS PLACE LAY A DEAD DUMBA OR RAM. IT IS IN HONOUR OF THIS TEST OF FAITH THAT MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD SACRIFICE AN ANIMAL ON THE OCCASION OF ID-UL-AZHA TO SHOW THEIR ALLEGIANCE, FAITH AND SINCERITY TOWARDS ALLAH. IN INDIA THE MUSLIMS MAINLY SACRIFICE THE GOAT, WHICH IS WHY THE OCCASION IS SPOKEN OF IN URDU AS BAKHR OR BAKRI-ID. THE FESTIVAL IS TO CELEBRATE THE STRONG FAITH OF THOSE DEVOTED TO ISLAM.

THE FESTIVAL COINCIDES WITH THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY WHEN 'QURAN' WAS DECLARED COMPLETE. IT IS FROM WHEN MANY MUSLIMS UNDERTAKE HAJ TO MECCA AND PEOPLE OFFER PRAYERS IN MOSQUES. ON THE DAY OF ID, THE PILGRIMS REACH THE GROUNDS OF MINA WHERE THEY SACRIFICE AN ANIMAL EACH. IT WAS HERE THAT IBRAHIM IS BELIEVED TO HAVE SACRIFICED HIS SON. THE PILGRIMS THEN SHAVE THEIR HEADS. THE PURPOSE IS TO BE ONE WITH THE MILLIONS OF DEVOTEES WHO CONVERGE TO MECCA EACH YEAR FOR THE HAJ. THE SACRIFICIAL MEAT IS DISTRIBUTED AFTER THE CEREMONY AMONG FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS. SPECIAL DELICACIES AND SWEETS ARE PREPARED ON THE OCCASION. THE CELEBRATION OF BAKRI ID STARTS FROM THE TENTH TO THE TWELFTH DAY IN THE ISLAMIC MONTH OF DHU'L HIJJA. ON THE ID DAY PEOPLE WEAR NEW CLOTHES, OFFER PRAYERS, AND VISIT EACH OTHER AND EXCHANGE GREETINGS. THERE ARE SPECIAL PRAYERS, WHICH TAKE PLACES ON THE THREE DAYS OF ID. CEREMONIAL PRAYERS, AND FEASTS ARE PART OF THIS FESTIVAL.
