Eidul Azha was celebrated all across Pakistan with religious fervour and spirit.

Prayers were offered and the livestock was slaughtered to mark the 10th of Zilhaj.

The day marks the celebration of Eidul Azha or the Festival of Sacrifice, which marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's readiness to sacrifice his son to show obedience to God.

@Sam : you may because you are not familiar with the back-ground. Its a sunnah/ritual that was initiated by Prophet Abraham and hence made a compulsory act for all Muslim that can bear the cost of sacrificing an animal in the name of Allah.Frankly speaking i'll suggest you to go through a good piece of writing on the subject to get a better understanding. may you be blessed and guided towards the right path.

@Sam how about you try to feel sad for millions of those poor in India who don't even have a single morsel to eat, or may be try to feel sad for women getting raped in all over India.

@Rashid Nasim The Sacrifice is for the most precious thing and not of the animals bought 2-7 days ago.
