Eid ul Adha, also referred to as the “Competition of Sacrifice,” is a major spiritual vacation celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It marks the top 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 precise date of Eid ul Adha varies every year, as it’s decided by the Islamic lunar calendar. In 2025, Eid ul Adha is predicted to start on Wednesday, June 18th, and finish on Thursday, June nineteenth. The vacation is often celebrated over three days, with the primary day of festivities falling on the second day.
