Nepali Muslims exchange greetings of ''Eid Mubarak'' at a local mosque in Kathmandu, Nepal, on June 7, 2025, on the occasion of Eid-Al-Adha or Bakra Eid. Eid al-Adha is traditionally celebrated on the 70th day after Ramadan. Muslims begin the day with a ritual bath and then proceed to the nearest mosque or Idgah to offer prayers. Following the prayers, it is customary to exchange greetings with one another. According to Islamic belief, Ibrahim, who has long been childless, prays to Allah for a child and vows to sacrifice what he loves most if his wish is granted. When his son Ismail is born to his wife Hajra, Ibrahim's devotion is tested. In a dream, Allah commands him to sacrifice his son. As Ibrahim prepares to carry out the command, Allah intervenes and replaces Ismail with a ram from heaven, pleased with Ibrahim's unwavering faith. To commemorate this event, Muslims around the world continue the practice of animal sacrifice during Bakra Eid. The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts--one part is given to the poor and needy, another to relatives and friends, and the third is kept for the family. On the occasion of Bakra Eid, Muslims who are financially capable travel to Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj pilgrimage.
