Question : May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says in this question: What is the wisdom behind the prescription of the festival?
Answer : The wisdom behind its prescription is to manifest the blessing of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through the acts of worship He has facilitated, which culminate in the festival. It is also a means of rejoicing in the blessing of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) by completing the fast, if it is the Festival of Breaking the Fast, or by completing the Hajj, if it is the Festival of Sacrifice. It is also so that people gather to perform the ritual of sacrifice on one day in the Festival of Sacrifice, where they slaughter and eat.
