To take a peep into history, will reveal the truth as to why Muslims celebrate Eid-al-Adha/Bakrid.

The history of Eid-al-Adha/Bakrid dates back to the times of Ibrahim. Ibrahim was commanded by God, through recurring dreams, to sacrifice his only son, begotten after rigorous worship.

Ismail, son of Ibrahim was just, 13 years old when, Ibrahim revealed to him about God's command. To his surprise, the boy readily agreed to be sacrificed. Just when, Ibrahim was about to sacrifice the boy, Allah voiced that he need not have to carry out His order, as he had passed the test of devotion. He was further instructed to sacrifice a sheep instead of his only son.

Ibrahim, by the Grace of Allah was blessed with another son, Is-haaq (Isaac)
