Eid-ul-Adha, also known as Bakrid, is being celebrated with great religious fervour and community spirit across various parts of India today. Marking the 10th day of the Islamic month Dhul Hijjah, the festival commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice in obedience to divine command — a story that continues to inspire millions around the globe.
As part of the central ritual of Qurbani (sacrifice), many are offering animals and distributing meat to the poor—an act that underscores the values of charity, compassion, and equality
