Eid al-Adha 2025 (Arabic: ) is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham). It falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar. In 2025, Eid al-Adha is expected to begin on Tuesday, June 17th and end on Wednesday, June 18th.
The holiday commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of obedience to God. As Ibrahim was about to sacrifice Ismail, God intervened and provided a ram to be sacrificed instead. This event is seen as a reminder of the importance of faith, obedience, and sacrifice in Islam.
