Eid al-Adha 2022: Wishes, Quotes, Messages, and greetings to share with friends, family

Eid al-Adha, popularly known as Bakra Eid, is one of the most auspicious festival celebrated with fervour by Muslims all around the world. The festival comes a day after pilgrims conducting Haj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, descend from Mount Arafat.

This year, the festival will begin on July 9 evening and end on July 10.

The festival is celebrated worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God. According to the Holy book of Quran, God was then pleased with Ibrahim and his son and replaced the boy with a ram, which was then sacrificed by Prophet Ibrahim .


Bakra Eid is marked by sacrificing an animal to prove their devotion and love for Allah. Post the sacrifice, devotes distribute the offering to family, friends, neighbours and especially to the poor and the needy. People buy goats or sheep a day prior for sacrifice, on the day commemorating Ibrahim who was willing to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command.

A special prayer is offered in mosques before sacrificing the animal. People wear new dresses, attend prayers at mosques and hug each other as an expression of brotherhood.
