How eid celebrated in India
Eid Al Adha is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion by Muslims in India and other parts of the world. They offer prayers and sacrifice animals.
Many years ago, Prophet Abraham kept having nightmares that he was sacrificing his son. As he knew it was a command from Allah, he decided to sacrifice his son.
However, when he was about to sacrifice his son, a ram was provided as a substitute. To commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah and his readiness to sacrifice his son, Muslims celebrate the festival every year.
