Every community in the world has its own rituals, religious beliefs and festivals, and the Muslims are also no exception. When talking about the Muslims’ major festivals, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Azha are the two celebrated with great joy, not just in Islamic countries but also in others where there is a minority of Muslims.

Importance of Bakra Eid

Also known as Eid al-Adha, Bakar Eid is a holy festival celebrated by the worldwide Muslim community. Bakra Eid has a great religious significance as it marks the end of the pilgrimage, Hajj to Mecca. The festival involves sacrificing animals as a symbol of Ibrahim’s sacrifice to Allah. To honor the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham, who sacrificed his son Ishmeal as an act of submission to God), Muslims sacrifice goats, sheep or camels on the day of the festival. The Koran (Muslims’ holy epic) preaches, “As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead.” After the sacrifice (Qurbani), the meat is preferred to be divided into three parts. The one third of the meat is retained be the family, another third is distributed among friends, relatives and neighbors; the remaining third is given to the poor. Though the division practice remains optional.

Eid Ul Zuha or Bakr Id / Bakra eid Date in 2016

When may Eid al-Adha fall in 2016 ? Eid al-Adha date in 2016 may fall from 10^th to 12^th September. According to astronomical calculations, Islamic calendar and the Gregorian calendar.

Eid al-Adha or Bakar Eid is a festival of sacrifice and commitment to Allah’s order. Globally celebrated by the Muslim community to honor the Ibrahim’s sacrifice to Allah, Eid al-Adha also marks the end of the Hajj (the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca). On this holy festival, Muslims sacrifice animals (usually goats, camels or sheep) wishing their sacrifice to be appreciated and prayers to be answered by the almighty Allah.

Eid al-Adha in Islamic calendar always falls on the same day (the 10^th day of Dhu al-Hijjah) every year, and lasts for four days. Although in the Gregorian calendar, the date may slightly vary from year to year, approximately drifting 11 days earlier every year.

Since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar, the date of Eid al-Adha varies from year to year. On the other hand, the date remains the same on the Islamic calendar each year because it’s a lunar calendar.

The date can also be affirmed based on the astronomical calculations. Another widely accepted belief is that the date of Eid al-Adha is when the moon is sighted. So, the date may also vary from country to country, depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not. Once the moon is sighted, Eid al-Adah is celebrated the very next day. According to astronomical calculations, Islamic calendar and the Gregorian calendar, Eid al-Adha date in 2016 may fall from 10^th to 12^th September.
