Public gearing up for Eid festivities

ISLAMABAD: Festivities of Eid ul Adha including the sacred ritual to buy the animals for slaughtering in the name of Allah Almighty were getting momentum across the country as only two days are left in Eid celebrations.

Citizens in federal capital, enthusiastically, were getting indulge in preparations as a huge number of people especially men, women and children can be seen in the cattle markets looking for the sacrificial animal and on the roads and streets petting and tending to their animals they bought earlier.

Women were also busy visiting the markets to finalize their preparations for ‘Eid cooking’ alongside their dresses and accessories which they were supposed to wear when they would greet friends and relatives on Eid day.

The day will dawn with special prayers in the mosques for the stability, unity and solidarity of the Muslim Ummah including Palestine and Kashmir.

Afterwards the “farzandan-e-Touheed” would sacrifice their eid animals following the foot step of our Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) who by obeying the order of Allah Almighty, asked his son Prophet Hazrat Ismail (AS) for his sacrifice to which Ismail (AS) walked smilingly to the altar. The knife did not work. Prophet Hazrat Ismail (AS) survived. A sheep was slaughtered instead and since then the Muslims of the religion Islam were directed to commemorate the event every year.
