#IdulFitri

Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى), also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the two major Islamic holidays, the other being Eid al-Fitr.

It commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. However, God provided a ram to sacrifice instead.

Key Facts About Eid al-Adha:

• When is it celebrated?

It falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and lasts for up to 3–4 days, depending on the country.

In 2025, Eid al-Adha is expected to begin on the evening of Saturday, June 7, and end on the evening of Wednesday, June 11, though the exact dates depend on moon sighting.

• Why is it important?

It honors the devotion and faith of Ibrahim and is closely linked to the Hajj pilgrimage, which ends just before the Eid.

• What do Muslims do on Eid al-Adha?

• Perform a special Eid prayer in congregation.

• Sacrifice an animal (usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel), called Qurbani, to remember Ibrahim’s devotion.

• Distribute the meat in three parts: one for the family, one for friends/neighbors, and one for the poor and needy.

• Wear new or best clothes, visit family and friends, and share festive meals.

• Common greetings:

• “Eid Mubarak” (عيد مبارك) – “Blessed Eid”

• “Eid Sa’id” (عيد سعيد) – “Happy Eid”
