Eid-ul-Adha is a festival celebrated by Muslims across the
globe in the honor of the willingness of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) to sacrifice his
son Hazrat Ismail (A.S) as an act of submission to Allah’s command and thereby
his son’s acceptance and willingness to be sacrificed in the name of Allah.
Before this could happen, Allah intervened and provided Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S)
with a lamb to be sacrificed instead.
Honoring this huge sacrifice, every year on the 10th
of Zilhaj Muslims sacrifice a lamb, or any four legged animal (camel, cow,
goat) as ordained in the Quran. Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated, three days where
Namaz-e-Eid is offered on the first day only and sacrificial activity is done
on these three days. The division of the meat of the sacrificial animal has
been described in the Quran and hence is distributed in three parts. The
one-third of the share is retained by the family, the other one-third is
distributed among family, friends and neighbors and the last one-third is
distributed among the poor and the needy.
Preparations of Eid-ul-Adha are very different from those of
Eid-ul-Fitr (also known as Meethi Eid/Sweet Eid) where all sweet delicacies are
prepared. Eid-ul-Adha is more like Namkeen Eid/ Salty Eid and is all about
non-vegetarian spread – that too quite lavish. Given this lavish preparation of
delicacies with the sacrificial meat, there is a lot to do on the Eid day and therefore
some things can be done in advance to lessen the hustle bustle in the kitchen
that day.
So, I'm sharing with you all some tried and tested tips and ideas to lessen
your burden on Eid day
