Why Eid Mubarak is Celebrated?
Eid Mubarak is the festival of commemorating faith of Prophet Ibrahim on God. Prophet was tested by God, by different trials. He was made to face several trials in his life, which he faced with faith and determination. One such trial he faced was to sacrifice to God, the most dearest possession, it was nothing other than his son. He showed readiness to sacrifice his son , and he kept his son at gallows for sacrificing. He was about to cut down his head, at that time a miracle happened. His son was replaced by a ram. God was pleased to see his readiness and asked not to sacrifice his son, but the animal. Through his devotion, Abraham showed that his life and his wishes are least significant before his faith on God .
