(Arabic: عيد الأضحى, romanized: ʿīd al-ʾaḍḥā, lit. 'Feast of the Sacrifice', IPA: [ʕiːd alˈʔadˤħaː]) , also called the "Festival of the Sacrifice", is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year (the other being Eid al-Fitr), and considered the holier of the two. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim(Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God's command. But, before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead. In commemoration of this intervention, an animal, usually a sheep, is sacrificed ritually and divided into three parts. One share is given to the poor and needy, another is kept for home, and the third is given to relatives.
In the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, and lasts for four days. In the international (Gregorian) calendar, the dates vary from year to year shifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
Other names in different languages
In languages other than Arabic, the name is often simply translated into the local language, such as Eid Qurban (Persian: عيد قربان), Qurban Bayrami (Azerbaijani: Qurban Bayramı), Tafaska tameqrant (Berber languages: Amazigh), English Feast of the Sacrifice, German Opferfest, Dutch Offerfeest, Romanian Sărbătoarea Sacrificiului, and Hungarian Áldozati ünnep. In Spanish it is known as Fiesta del Cordero[5] or Fiesta del Borrego (both meaning "festival of the lamb"). In Kurdish it is known as (Cejna Qurbanê / جەژنی قوربان). It is also known as Eid Qurban (عید قربان) in Persian speaking countries such as Afghanistan and Iran, Kurban Bayramı[6][7] in Turkey, Qurban Bayramı in Azerbaijan, কোরবানীর ঈদ in Bangladesh, as عید الكبير the big Feast in the Maghreb, as Iduladha, Hari Raya Aidiladha, Hari Raya Haji or Hari Raya Korban in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines, as بکرا عید "Goat Eid" or بڑی عید "Greater Eid" in India and Pakistan, Bakara Eid in Trinidad and Tobago, as 𞤔𞤓𞥅𞤂𞤁𞤉 𞤁𞤌𞤐𞤑𞤋𞤐 or Juulde Donkin in the Fulfulde language, as Tabaski or Tobaski in The Gambia, Guinea, and Senegal (most probably borrowed from the Serer language – and an ancient Serer religious festival[8][9][10][11]), and as Odún Iléyá by the Yorúbà people of Nigeria[12][13][14][15]
Purpose of sacrifice
The purpose of Sacrifice in Eid al-Adha is not about shedding of blood just to satisfy Allah. It is about sacrificing something devotees love the most to show their devotion to Allah. It is also obligatory to share the meat of the sacrificed animal in three equivalent parts - for family, for relatives and friends, and for poor people. The celebration has a clear message of devotion, kindness and equality. It is said that the meat will not reach to Allah, nor will the blood, but what reaches him is the devotion of devotees.[33]
Traditions
During Eid al-Adha, distributing meat amongst the people, chanting the takbir out loud before the Eid prayers on the first day and after prayers throughout the three days of Eid, are considered essential parts of this important Islamic festival.[39]
Eid al-Adha in the Gregorian calendar
While Eid al-Adha is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar. The lunar calendar is approximately eleven days shorter than the solar calendar.[44] Each year, Eid al-Adha (like other Islamic holidays) falls on one of about two to four different Gregorian dates in different parts of the world, because the boundary of crescent visibility is different from the International Date Line.
Can Allah be happy with killing innocent animals?
No, Non-vegetarians, are guilty of animal killings.

Eating meat is a great sin because eating meat in all our scriptures is prohibited and it is God's command .
A meat eater cannot attain God.
"Nabi Mohammad Namaskar hai, Ram Rasool Kahaya, ek lakh 80 ko saugandh, jin nahin karad chalaya, aras kuras par alah takhat hai, khalik bin nahi khali, ve paigambar pak purush the, sahib ke abdali".

Garibdasji Maharaj says in his speech that Prophet Muhammad was a very good soul of God. He never ate meat and told his 1 lakh 80 thousand disciples not to eat it.
Eating meat is not God's order.
Holy Bible (Genesis 1:29)
The Lord has provided all the small trees that contain seeds and big trees with fruits for food, he has not ordered to eat meat.
“He who permits the slaughter of an animal, he who cuts it up, he who kills it, he who buys or sells meat, he who cooks it, he who serves it up, and he who eats it, must all be considered as the slayers of the animal.
(Manu-samhita 5.51-52)
A false tradition practiced by non-vegetarians for the taste of their tongue.
By which some foolish people lie to please Allah and kill innocent creatures and tie the bundles of sins.
Message of Allah on bakra eid
"Garib, kazi khilas uthay le, taj roje ki rest, Garib das Allah bhajo, yo samay jayega beet."
God said that Kazi-mulla should abandon these wrong practices and worship that one Allah/God, otherwise this precious human life will be spoiled.
