Historical Background
As we look at the historical background of the Id-ul-Zuha, we gain information that Allah had commanded Hazrat Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail on Mount Mina near Mecca. Ibrahim, unable to see himself kill his son, blindfolded himself and carried out the pronouncement of God. When he took off the blindfold, a lamb lay slaughtered on the altar and his son stood there unharmed.
Ibrahim understood then that this willingness on his part to give up his only son was what God sought, and not the sacrifice of human flesh and blood.
Thus, the history of Bakr-Id confirms the belief of the devouts that all God requires of man is a surrender of his will and self. Like Ibrahim, who willingly surrenders his beloved son to God, a true follower of Islam is expected to sacrifice something that is dear to him.
The animal sacrifices made during Bakr-Id are mainly to provide food to the poor and to commemorate the noble act of Ibrahim. This spirit of sacrifice is what truly underlines the spirit of Bakr-Id. Incidentally; the day also coincides with the day when the holy Quran was declared complete.
Rituals
Bakr-Id is celebrated from the tenth to the twelfth day in the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. Every year, while pilgrims to the Mount of Mina make animal sacrifices as part of the pilgrimage rituals, Muslims the world over celebrate Bakr-Id in a similar fashion.
Every true Muslim who possesses wealth equal to or more than 400 grams of gold or is capable of affording two square meals a day, is expected to sacrifice an animal. A goat (also called bakri, hence Bakr-Id), sheep, camel or any other four-legged animal is slaughtered during one of the three days of the festival, and the meat is distributed. The sacrificial offering is divided in three parts - one for the self, another for friends, and the third, most importantly, for the needy. The sacrifice can be offered at any time before the afternoon of the third day.
Festivities mark the first day, when people wear new clothes, offer prayers at the mosque, and greet friends and relatives. Special prayers are offered on all three days. It is said that the celebrations are carried on over three days to ensure that the entire Muslim community partakes in the noble of act of giving and sharing.
Celebrated In
Bakr-Id is celebrated all over India with much fervour, as it is in the rest of Islamic world. The name Bakr-Id, however, is most popular in India. In Arabic, the feast is usually referred to as Id-ul-Azha or Id-ul-Zuha.

Love is good and love is bad
Love is happy sometimes sad
Love is nothing, love is all
But into love, we always fall
There's puppy love and mother love
And that special love we are part of
There's love in bloom and a love affair
And all the love we have to share
Love is cruel but mostly kind
And to some, love is blind
Love is give and love is take
Love is something that we make
Love is kisses and sweet embraces
And touching all those erotic places
Love is tainted, love is pure
And love is pleasure - that's for sure
Love can break your heart in two
It can also be a dream come true
Love is neither big or small
Yet love it seems can conquer all

Baad muddat ussay dekha logoon
Baad muddat ussay dekha logoon
Wo zara bhi nahi badla logoon
Khush na tha muj se bicher ker wo bhi
Uss k chehray per likha tha logoon
Uss k ankhain bhi kahain deti thi
Raat bahr wo bhi na soya logoon
Ajnabi ban k jo guzra hai abhi
Tha kissi wakat main apna logoon
Dost tu khair kis ka hai
Us ne dushman bhi na samjha logoon
Raat wo derd mery dill main utha
Subha tak chain na aya logoon
Piyaas phir sehraoon ki teyz hoi
Abbar toot k bersa logoon
