According to Islamic belief, the festival marks the importance of obedience and sacrifice as typified by the Prophet Ibrahim, who was asked to sacrifice his son by Allah. When Allah saw that he was willing to do it, He(Allah) replaced the sacrifice with a ram.
Every Muslim throughout the globe will kill a ram in remembrance of that sacrifice.
