Eid ul Adha 2025 (also known as Bakrid in Hindi) is one of the major festivals in Islam. This festival commemorates the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham, peace be upon him) and his willingness to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), upon Allah’s command. However, did Allah truly order the sacrifice of animals? Does Allah derive pleasure from the killing of His own creations? Let’s explore these questions in this blog.

Eid ul Adha 2025 will begin on the evening of June 6, 2025, and continue until June 7, 2025. It is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar.
