Introduction
Bakrid, or Eid al-Adha, is one of the most significant festivals in Islam, celebrated worldwide to honor the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. However, in the light of true spiritual knowledge given by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, this ancient tradition carries a much deeper, spiritual message. The festival is not about animal sacrifice, but about surrendering to the true Supreme God (Paramatma) and following His path as revealed in the holy scriptures.
The Traditional Belief of Bakrid
Traditionally, Muslims believe that Allah tested the faith of Prophet Ibrahim by asking him to sacrifice his beloved son Ismail. Just as Ibrahim was about to fulfill the command, Allah provided a ram to sacrifice instead. Since then, Muslims commemorate this act of devotion by sacrificing animals — usually goats, sheep, or cows — during Eid al-Adha.
Millions of animals are slaughtered every year as part of this ritual, and the meat is distributed among family, friends, and the needy.
But is animal sacrifice the true will of God?
Questioning the Ritual: A Deeper Spiritual Inquiry
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj teaches that blindly following rituals without understanding their purpose is against the essence of true devotion. The key questions that every devotee should ask are:
-
Does God really want us to kill innocent creatures?
-
Is animal sacrifice a spiritual act or just a misunderstood tradition?
-
Are such acts mentioned in the holy scriptures as a command of the Supreme God?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, through the correct interpretation of holy books like the Quran, Bible, Vedas, and Gita, shows that God never desired animal sacrifice. Instead, God wants complete surrender and true worship (Sacha Dharm) — not violence.
True Worship in the Light of the Quran
According to the Holy Quran Sharif, true worship does not involve violence. Let’s examine what the Quran actually says:
Surah Al-Hajj 22:37: “It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him.”
This verse directly states that Allah does not need the meat or blood of sacrificed animals. What matters is the intention, the submission, and the piety of the believer. This proves that the original message of Eid al-Adha is not about killing animals but about complete obedience to the Almighty.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj beautifully explains this: “God is not bloodthirsty. He is the creator of all living beings and desires compassion and devotion from His children.”
The Real Sacrifice God Wants
Through the true spiritual knowledge revealed by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, we learn that the true sacrifice is not physical — it is the sacrifice of ego, false pride, and ignorance. God wants us to give up wrong practices and accept His true way of worship.
Just as Ibrahim was willing to surrender everything for God, we too are supposed to surrender our will — our desires, bad habits, and rituals that go against God's command.
A Message of Peace, Not Violence
Animal sacrifice goes directly against the message of peace and mercy taught by all holy scriptures. Every soul is dear to God. Just imagine:
-
Would a loving Creator want His creations to be butchered in His name?
-
If God is merciful, how can we please Him with acts of violence?
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that in Satlok, the eternal heaven, no being eats meat, and no killing occurs. True worshipers must live non-violently, with compassion for all creatures.
Holy Books and Ahimsa (Non-Violence)
Let’s look at some clear evidence from different religious texts that reject violence:
Quran Sharif
“Do not kill the soul which Allah has made sacred except by right.” – Surah Al-An'am 6:151
Bible
“Thou shalt not kill.” – Exodus 20:13
Gita
“A yogi sees all beings equally, whether it is a cow, an elephant, a dog, or a dog-eater.” – Gita 5:18
These verses prove that all holy scriptures promote non-violence. Killing animals for religious rituals is a misinterpretation and must be stopped.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s Eye-Opening Revelation
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has brought forth the hidden spiritual knowledge from the Kabir Sagar, Quran, Vedas, and other scriptures that reveal:
-
The true God is KavirDev (Kabir Sahib), who created the entire universe.
-
He never supports animal killing.
-
He desires that His children practice true worship (Satbhakti) based on Naam Diksha (Initiation).
He explains that God tested Prophet Ibrahim’s faith, not by wanting a real sacrifice, but to see his obedience. The test was symbolic — and it was completed when the angel intervened and stopped the actual killing.
The Story of Ibrahim Explained Spiritually
Let us re-understand the story of Ibrahim from a spiritual perspective:
-
The dream was not a command from the Supreme God (KavirDev), but a test.
-
Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son shows his great faith.
-
God's intervention proved that He never desired blood sacrifice.
-
The ram was a substitute, signifying that the actual sacrifice needed was not physical but internal — a sacrifice of will to God’s command.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj clarifies that this story teaches devotion, not destruction.
What Should Be Done on Bakrid?
According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s teachings, here's how Bakrid should be celebrated spiritually:
1. Remember God with a Pure Heart
Focus on the merciful nature of the Supreme God. Chant His true name (Satnam) as given by a Complete Saint.
2. Read and Follow Holy Scriptures
Avoid rituals that go against the clear teachings of the Quran or other holy books. Understand the essence, not just the tradition.
3. Help the Needy
Instead of sacrificing an animal, help a poor family, feed hungry humans, or care for sick animals. This pleases God more.
4. Adopt True Worship
Take Naam Diksha (Initiation) from a Tatvdarshi Sant — today, that is Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj — and begin the true path to salvation.
What Happens After Death of the Slaughtered Animals?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj reveals that killed animals suffer even after death. Their souls feel pain, and they get rebirths of suffering. Moreover, the killer also collects bad karma and suffers in return.
So, killing animals on Bakrid does not lead to blessings — it brings spiritual downfall.
A Divine Alternative: Worship the True God
The greatest message of Bakrid is obedience to God’s true will. The time has come to:
-
Drop symbolic sacrifices
-
Avoid misinterpreted rituals
-
Embrace true knowledge
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is the only Saint in the world today who shows evidence from all scriptures and provides the true way of worship.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj: The Promised Reformer

His teachings have transformed millions of lives:

Conclusion: The Real Message of Bakrid
Bakrid is not about sacrificing animals — it is about sacrificing ego and wrong traditions.
It is about obeying the will of the true Supreme God, which can only be known through a Tatvdarshi Saint, today embodied in Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
Let us celebrate Bakrid in its truest divine form — with compassion, knowledge, and surrender to the true God. Let us stop killing and start living with love and peace, as God always intended.
“Do not spill blood. Surrender your false pride instead. That is the sacrifice your God awaits.”
— Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj
