Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims around the world. It commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah. Eid al-Adha is celebrated 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.
Eid al-Adha is a time for Muslims to reflect on the importance of sacrifice and obedience to Allah. It is also a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate. Muslims typically celebrate Eid al-Adha by attending special prayers, sacrificing animals, and sharing meals with loved ones. The meat from the sacrificed animals is often distributed to the poor and needy.
