Summary:
THANE: The city Muslim community are all geared up to celebrate Bakr-Eid on Wednesday. As a ritual, a goat will be sacrificed to God.“The festival begins by offering special prayers, sacrifice of goat and showering gifts to the young and loved ones. Allah then stopped Ibrahim from sacrificing his son and instead asked him to sacrifice the first animal that passed by. It is believed that Allah was deeply touched by the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to god’s command. This tradition of sacrificing a goat is followed till date.”.
