Now let us tell you why the Muslim community celebrates Bakrid i.e. Eid-ul-Azha? It is said that Hazrat Ibrahim had sacrificed his son, but after the sacrifice he saw that instead of his son, there was a Dumba (a sheep-like animal found in Arab countries). Considering this as a blessing from God, the Muslim community sacrifices sheep, goats, camels etc. on Bakrid every year. Bakrid is the second biggest festival of Muslims. Bakrid is celebrated just a few months after the biggest festival Eid. The special thing is that during Bakrid, people of the Muslim community go to Saudi Arabia to perform Haj. Where apart from visiting the Kaaba, the ritual of stoning the devil and then going to Medina is performed. This year also thousands of Muslims from India have gone to Saudi Arabia to perform Haj.
