Eid ul Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is a significant religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It marks the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of obedience to God.
The exact date of Eid ul Adha varies each year, as it is determined by the Islamic lunar calendar. In 2025, Eid ul Adha is expected to begin on Wednesday, June 18th, and end on Thursday, June 19th. The holiday is typically celebrated over three days, with the main day of festivities falling on the second day.
