About Eid ul Zuha - Eid al Adha - Bakr eid:
Muslims around the world believe that Allah (God) commanded Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ishmael. Ibrahim followed God's orders, but his son was replaced by a sheep at the last moment. Muslims celebrate this at Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha is called Id-ul-Adha in Arabic and Bakr-Id in the Indian subcontinent, because of the tradition of sacrificing a goat or "bakri" in Urdu. The word "id" derived from the Arabic "iwd" means "festival" and "zuha" comes from "uzhaiyya" which translates to "sacrifice".
Prayer in Eidgah : Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a Sunnah prayer of two rakats followed by a sermon (khutbah). Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hujjaj, the pilgrims performing the Hajj, from Mount Arafat, a hill east of Mecca. Eid sacrifice may take place until sunset on the 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. The days of Eid have been singled out in the Hadith as "days of remembrance". The takbir (days) of Tashriq are from the Fajr prayer of the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah up to the Asr prayer of the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah (5 days and 4 nights). This equals 23 prayers: 5 on the 9th–12th, which equals 20, and 3 on the 13th.

| Bakrid-Eid ul Zuha-Eid al adha |
This calligraphic fragment provides Arabic blessings to a ruler on the occasion of Eid (also seen as 'Id). A number of the patron's epithets and titles are included in the text, which is executed in black Naskh script on a beige paper. The words are fully vocalized in black and are framed by cloud bands on a gold background. The text panel is framed by a border decorated with red, blue, and green flower and vine motifs and is pasted to a larger salmon-orange colored piece of paper backed by cardboard. In the lower-left corner, the calligrapher, (Muhammad) 'Ali, has signed his work and dated it 1142 AH (1729–30). It appears that the original calligrapher's name, which included the name 'Ali, was erased purposefully. It is possible, therefore, that the date constitutes a later correction as well. Text panels such as this one, providing various Arabic-language prayers in Naskh script, were made by the famous Naskh-revival Persian calligraphers Mirza Ahmad Nayrizi (died 1152 AH/1739) and his followers. For this reason, it is most likely that this piece was executed by a Persian calligrapher active during the 18th century.

ʻĪd al-Aḍḥā
العربية: تقدم هذه القطعة الخطيّة التهاني بالعربية إلى أحد الحكام بمناسبة العيد. يحتوي النص على عدد من ألقاب الأمير وكُناه، وهي مكتوبة بخط النسخ باللون الأسود على ورقة لونها بيج. الكلمات مُشكلة تماماً باللون الأسود، ومحاطة بأشرطة على هيئة سحاب على خلفية ذهبية. لوحة النص محاطة بإطار مُزيّن بالزهور الحمراء والزرقاء والخضراء وزخارف كنبات الكرمة، وهي ملصوقة على قطعة أكبر من الورق لونها لون السلمون البرتقالي، مدعومة بورق مقوى. وقّع الخطّاط، (محمد) علي، على العمل وأَرّخَه للعام 1142 هـ (1729-1730) في الزاوية اليسرى السفلية. يبدو أن اسم الخطّاط الأصلي، الذي تضمن الاسم علي، قد مُحِيَ عمداً. لذا من المحتمل أن يكون التاريخ أيضاً قد عُدّل فيما بعد. إن اللوحات النصية التي على شاكلة هذه اللوحة، والتي بها أدعية باللغة العربية مكتوبة بخط النسخ، قد يكون كتبها الخطاطون الفارسيون الشهيرون الذين اضطلعوا بإحياء خط النسخ مثل ميرزا أحمد النيريزي (توفي عام 1152 هـ\ 1739) وأتباعه. لذلك من المُرجح أن هذا العمل نفذّه خطّاط فارسي نَشط خلال القرن الثامن عشر.

Eid prayersMuslims go to the mosque to pray the prayer of the Eid.
Who must attendAccording to some fiqh (traditional Islamic law) (although there is some disagreement).[14]
Men should go to mosque—or a Eidgah (a field where eid prayer held)—to perform eid prayer; Salat al-Eid is Wajib according to Hanafi and Shia (Ja'fari) scholars, Sunnah al-Mu'kkadah according to Maliki and Shafi'i jurisprudence. Women are also highly encouraged to attend, although it is not compulsory. Menstruating women do not participate in the formal prayer, but should be present to witness the goodness and the gathering of the Muslims.
Residents, which excludes travellers.
Those in good health. When is it performed
The Eid al-Adha prayer is performed any time after the sun completely rises up to just before the entering of Zuhr time, on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah. In the event of a force majeure (e.g. natural disaster), the prayer may be delayed to the 11th of Dhu al-Hijjah and then to the 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah.
The Sunnah of preparation: In keeping with the tradition of Muhammad, Muslims are encouraged to prepare themselves for the occasion of Eid. Below is a list of things Muslims are recommended to do in preparation for the Eid al-Adha festival:
- Make wudhu (ablution) and offer Salat al-Fajr (the pre-sunrise prayer).
- Prepare for personal cleanliness—take care of details of clothing, etc.
- Dress up, putting on new or best clothes available.
Rituals of the Eid prayer
The scholars differed concerning the ruling on Eid prayers. There are three scholarly points of view:
That Eid prayer is Sunnah mu’akkadah (recommended). This is the view of Malik ibn Anas and Al-Shafi‘i.
That it is a Fard Kifaya (communal obligation). This is the view of Abū Ḥanīfa.
That it is Wajib on all Muslim men (a duty for each Muslim and is obligatory for men); those who do not do it with no excuse are considered sinners. This is the view of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and was also narrated from Abū Ḥanīfa.
Eid prayers must be offered in congregation. It consists of two rakats (units) with seven Takbirs in the first Raka'ah and five Takbirs in the second Raka'ah. For Sunni Muslims, Salat al-Eid differs from the five daily canonical prayers in that no adhan (call to prayer) or iqama (call) is pronounced for the two Eid prayers.
The salat (prayer) is then followed by the khutbah, or sermon, by the Imam.
At the conclusion of the prayers and sermon, Muslims embrace and exchange greetings with one other (Eid Mubarak), give gifts (Eidi) to children, and visit one another. Many Muslims also take this opportunity to invite their non-Muslim friends, neighbours, co-workers and classmates to their Eid festivities to better acquaint them about Islam and Muslim culture.
The Takbir and other rituals:
Prayers in Comilla, Bangladesh can be seen attending Khutbah as part of the Eid al-Adha prayers on 7 November 2011.
The Takbir is recited from the dawn of the ninth of Dhu al-Hijjah to the thirteenth, and consists of
Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar الله أكبر الله أكبر
lā ilāha illā Allāh لا إله إلا الله
Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar الله أكبر الله أكبر
wa li-illāhil-hamd ولله الحمد
God is the Greatest, God is the Greatest,
There is no deity but God
God is the Greatest, God is the Greatest
and to God goes all praise
