Eid al-Adha 2025, also known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” is a significant religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It marks the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and is a time for Muslims to commemorate the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as an act of obedience to God.
The date of Eid al-Adha is determined by the Islamic lunar calendar and varies each year. In 2025, Eid al-Adha is expected to begin on Tuesday, June 17th, and end on Wednesday, June 18th. During this time, Muslims typically attend special prayers, slaughter animals for sacrifice, and distribute the meat to the poor and needy.
