Muslims commemorate Bakrid to mark the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his own son as an act of obedience and devotion towards God.

The family will eat about a third of the meal a third goes to friends and relatives, and the remaining third is donated to the poor and needy. Eid al-Adha 2021 (Bakrid) Date in India: Bakrid will be celebrated on July 21 in India. In Saudi Arabia, however, it will be celebrated a day earlier on July 20, 2021. On Eid al-Adha, Muslims sacrifice an animal, generally a goat or a lamb, to prove their devotion and love for Allah. As per the tradition, the prepared meat is divided into three parts. One part is for family, friends and neighbours, the second part is distributed among the poor and needy, and the third part is reserved for immediate family. The “sacrifice” is essentially about giving back to society and is symbolic of one’s devotion to Allah. On this auspicious day, Muslims across the globe offer namaz at a mosque just before the sun enters the zuhr time. which is the mid-day prayer time. This is followed by a sermon by the imam. The festival is celebrated with great zeal as men, women and children step out in their finest clothes to meet friends and family.
