In today’s era and time, Eid Ul Adha or Baqra Eid might not evoke the same reactions which it used to previously, whereas there was a certain ritual observed in Muslim households with a fervor that featured a lot of goats (baqras) making an appearance right before the grand Muslim celebration, however, the certain gesture was taken just for the sake of the children residing at the house, informing them that the goats have been bought just so that the kids can play with them.
In case you might not know, ‘Qurbani’ or the sacrifice that is conducted on Eid Ul Adha across Muslim households has come into existence after a certain incident that took place in history, let us provide you with the details later on in the story.
However, Falak Shabir posting a click of a young girl spending quality time with her goat pal has made us reflect upon the importance of Eid Ul Adha and what the celebration actually entails.
Falak Shabir and Sarah Khan are one of the most acknowledged couples in the Pakistani media industry whereas the duo makes sure to provide snippets of their romance over the internet which always features A LOT of roses.
As promised, according to Google: Eid Ul Adha is the second and the largest of the two main holidays celebrated in Islam (the other being Eid al-Fitr). It honors the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Ismail) as an act of obedience to God's command. However, before Abraham could sacrifice his son in the name of God, and because of his willingness to do so, God provided him with a lamb to kill in his son's place. In commemoration of this intervention, animals are ritually sacrificed. Part of their meat is consumed by the family that offers the animal, while the rest of the meat is distributed to the poor and the needy. Sweets and gifts are given, and extended family members typically visit and are welcomed. The day is also sometimes called the Greater Eid.
