A privileged six-year-old Pakistani girl embarks on a mission to save her beloved pet goat from being eaten on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Azha, only to learn the meaning of sacrifice.
Aired: 07/15/24
(laughter, conversation, and music ensues) (goat baaing) Did you see that cow?
My mouth was watering.
Mom, a cow is too much.
We're just getting a goat.
And goat is Iman's favorite.
Bah bahhh.
Sure, get a goat.
As if your wife knows how to cook it.
Bahhh.
Baba?
Baba!
Yes?
Look!
Look how cute this goat is.
Can you show us this one?
Yes, absolutely.
What's the price for it?
It's 30,000 rupees.
Ok, now tell me the real price.
That is the real price!
(cars honk) Bye.
(music plays) You didn't miss much, we just played ludo.
Syra aapi was cheating so much.
Why didn't you invite me?
It was a big girls only party.
Can I come next time?
What would you like?
One box of barfi.
One box of barfi.
Here.
One-hundred and fifty rupees.
No way, one hundred!
Alright, for you one hundred.
We can just have fun by ourselves.
Barfi...
I'm going to call you Barfi!
Don't get too attached, Iman.
Why not?
Don't you remember last Eid?
...no?
Where do you think your favorite mutton comes from?
Where does it come from?
This is why you weren't invited.
You're so young and naive.
(girls giggling) I bear witness that there is no God but God.
Mama?
Can you tell us the story about Ibrahim and his son?
Why do you want to hear that story?
Because Eid is coming up, and Iman doesn't remember anything.
Alright.
One day, God decided to give Ibrahim a test to prove his faith.
God ordered Ibrahim to sacrifice what was most precious to him.
Prophet Ibrahim thought about what was most precious to him.
In the end, he realized that his son was most precious to him.
Ibrahim told his son what God had ordered him to do.
Ibrahim's son was even more faithful than Ibrahim.
In response, he said - During my sacrifice, tie my hands together with a rope And tie a blindfold around your eyes So that I can't struggle and you can't see me suffering.
Prophet Ibrahim and his son climbed the mountain.
Ibrahim did exactly what his son said.
He tied his son's hands and blindfolded himself.
Gathering up his courage, he swung the knife at his son's throat.
Crying, when he took off the blindfold He was shocked to find a dead ram.
And his son stood next to him, unharmed.
That's why on Eid we sacrifice animals And give the meat to the needy.
To honor that God always helps true believers.
Mama?
If God asked you to sacrifice us, would you do it?
I could never.
(music plays) (Barfi baa's) (music ends) Have some mutton, try this.
Try the meat.
It's really delicious.
(urgent murmuring) (sounds of deliciousness) Yum!
(crickets chirping) Come at seven, seven thirty.
Seven o'clock is okay.
Here's what we owe you.
Please come on time on Eid.
Thank you very much.
I've got a plan.
A plan for what?
I'm going to save Barfi's life.
And how do you plan to do that?
Eid is tomorrow.
Everything is ready.
When everyone's getting ready and Baba has left for the mosque When the streets are empty All you need to do is distract Mama and Kawsar.
I'll untie Barfi and take him back to the market.
How are you going to do all that in time?
If you help me, I can do it easily.
Iman, you've officially lost it.
Momina please, I'll give you my favorite Barbie.
The mermaid one?
But...
But I have so many other ones!
You said your favorite.
Fine.
The mermaid one.
I'll try, okay?
Okay.
(Iman flushes) Look over here.
Let me get ready first!
Okay.
I'm off to the mosque.
Be sure to get ready.
(puking noises) Girls!
Get ready quick.
The guests will be here any minute.
Kawsar!
Okay we're going to get ready!
Please do not disturb us!
(the chair creaks) Hurry, hurry, hurry!

(glass shatters) Ouch!

(Iman gasps) What on earth were you thinking?
We've been searching like crazy people for you.
Sorry.
But Mama, I just wanted to save Barfi's life.
Barfi's life?
Do you have any idea what could have happened to you?
Get in the car right now.
But Mama, Barfi - Another peep about that goat and I will call your father here right now.
Get in the car.
Bahhh.
(wind blows) Lay him down.
(pained baaing) Iman, be brave.
You're a big girl now.
Listen...
It's important for you to know where your meat comes from.
It's a sacrifice of a life.
It shouldn't be taken lightly.
God is the greatest.
(intense pained baaing) (squishy sounds of meat being cut) Grab as many bags of meat as you can.
Happy Eid.

Sweetie, eat your food.
