Names Many, Meaning Single “Eid-Al-Adha”<\/strong>, “Bakra-Eid”<\/strong>, “Kurban Bayram”<\/strong> or “Eid-e-Quran”<\/strong> is the major festival celebrated by the Muslims across the world. It occurs in month of Zil-Hajj (according to the Islamic calendar) when an animal is sacrificed in commemoration of Abraham’s sacrifice of his son. This festival is incorporated in the great pilgrimage to Mecca which should properly be made during this month but it is also observed all over the Muslim world at the same time. The underlying importance of this festival is the spirit of sacrifice (qurbani) in memory of Abraham’s great act of faith many centuries ago.
