Utalk Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 Why is it adha and not poora?(please don't kill me for asking) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha
Asim Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Why is it adha and not poora?(please don't kill me for asking) Hahaha :--D its arabic word "Al-Adha" not urdu/hindi "aadha"... "Eid-ul-Adha" means "Festival of Sacrifice" EID Mubarak to all :icflove:
Lurker Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Do people really call it Eid-ul-Adha?? In Bihar we called it Bakriid. Brings back memories of some great mutton and chicken kababs and dishes. Hope folks had a tummy full :-)

Hope folks had a tummy full :-) Both are correct. Colloquially, people prefer to call it baqri-id because a baqra is sacrificed on that day. How convenient. :D The irony is that, the root word baqara means cow/bull in Arabic and not goat that we take it to mean in Hindi/Urdu.
coffee_rules Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I thought end of Ramzan is EId and it was already over. Is this the Shiite Eid?
