Honestly, I’ve always wondered the same thing. On Eid-ul-Adha, everyone sends out messages like "Happy Eid!", but if you think about it, the actual origin of the festival is based on this major sacrifice by Prophet Ibrahim. It’s intense! It's all about him being willing to give up something he loved because of his faith. But I think people say "happy eid" not because the day ignores sacrifice, but because it’s a celebration of faith, unity, and overcoming difficulties together as a community or even a family.

I've found that the happiness part is about being grateful, spending time with family, sharing food (especially with those less fortunate), and just taking a break from normal stress. The sacrifice, yeah, that's like the heart of the festival, but the happiness is about the togetherness and traditions after facing hard things.

So, even though Eid started as a remembrance of sacrifice, it’s become a time for joy, celebration, and charity. It feels happy to share good vibes after remembering deeper values. It’s like celebrating the good that comes from difficult choices, and that’s kinda cool if you ask me.
