This Eid is all about remembering the story of the Prophet Ibrahim. Prophet Ibrahim had a beloved son called Ismail. One night Ibrahim dreamt that Allah told him to sacrifice his son Ismail. Then the following night he had the same dream again commanding him to make the sacrifice. Ibrahim realized that it was a message from Allah. He loved his dear son but was prepared to follow a last command. He told him about the last command in his dream. Ismail was such an obedient child that he was prepared to be the sacrifice. Then elastin tan and brown replacing Ismail who remained unharmed. Ibrahim was shocked when he heard a voice which told him that Allah looks after his faithful follower and as faithful followers of Allah's command Ishmail's life had been spared. Ibrahim and his son had passed a challenging test from Allah and so to commemorate the obedience of Ibrahim, Muslims performed 'Kurbani' the sacrifice of an animal during the last Islamic month of dhul Hijjah and remember the greatest sacrifice in history during the celebration of Eid-ul-Zuha.
