Bakri Eid

Abraham having implicit faith in Allah decided to offer the sacrifice of his beloved Son in obedience to Allah's command. But when the bandage was removed from his eyes he saw his son standing in front of him. Therefore, for Bakri Eid every Muslim family is required to sacrifice a healthy animal and distribute two-thirds of the meat among the poor. A full-grown camel, cow, goat or sheep free from disease is considered the best offering to Allah.

Specialties of the day: Biryani, Jarda Pulao
