   When the  Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) migrated from Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to the City of Madinah, he saw that the people there celebrated two festivals of happiness called "Nerouz" and "Mehrjan". Sahabah Rizwan Alayhim asked Him that they should  also participate in these festivals? He said, "Allah has given you two better days than these, one on the day of Eid al-Fitr and the other on Eid al-Adha." 

Al_Hajj_Mubarak

    Eid al-Fitr is celebrated when Muslims complete the obligatory fasts in Ramadan. The second Eid is a Sacrifice of Halal Animals or salty Eid. Apart from being a part of the obligatory Hajj, the sacrifice on the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha has a great virtue and greatness in Islam and this sacrifice is obligatory . He said, "Whoever does not offer sacrifice in spite of his ability, he should not come to our place of Eid." So sacrifice willingly.

Ready For Sacrifice

   Reference (Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah). The sacrifice began in such a way that Hazrat Ibrahim Khalilullah saw in a dream that he was slaughtering his son. He mentioned this dream to his son and asked for his opinion. The son replied: O my dear father! Do not delay in carrying out what you have been commanded, you will find me one of the patient, God willing. (Qur'an: 3) So Abraham took his son Ishmael from Makkah to Mina, where he went to sacrifice his son.Abraham laid it on his forehead. 

Goat For Sacrifices

     He had not yet been able to slaughter when a call came from Allah Almighty. “O Ibrahim, the truth of the vision” means, O Ibrahim! You made your dream come true. Then Allah Almighty sent a ram for sacrifice instead of Hazrat Ishmael (AS) which was slaughtered by Hazrat Ibrahim (AS). Sacrifice was made obligatory on every able-bodied person to keep the action and passion alive.

    Nabi e Mukram says that this is your father,s Sunnah of Abraham. The companions said: O Messenger of Allah, what is our benefit in this? He said: For every hair of the sacrificial animal you will get a good deed. They said: O Messenger of Allah!  if wool instead of hair is on an animal? He said that for every hair of wool you will get a good deed. Reference: (Mushkat Sharif)
