About Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha, or the 'Festival of Sacrifice', falls on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, coinciding with the conclusion of Hajj. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (peace be upon him) devotion and willingness to sacrifice for Allah. Muslims around the world observe it by offering Udhiya (sacrificial animal), sharing meat with the poor, joining family gatherings, and performing extra prayers.

Coincides with the completion of Hajj pilgrimage in Makkah and is the holiest time of the Islamic year.
Begins with a special Eid prayer, followed by the ritual sacrifice (Udhiya/Qurbani), recalling the story of Ibrahim and his son Ismail (peace be upon them).
Reflects values of faith, obedience, generosity, and unity—Muslims share the meat with family, friends, and those in need.
Spiritual opportunities: fasting the Day of Arafah, giving charity, visiting loved ones, and spreading Eid blessings.
