Significance of Eid ul Adha

Eid ul Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is a major Islamic festival observed by Muslims worldwide. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah’s command. In return for his devotion, Allah provided a ram to sacrifice instead.

Hajj and Eid ul Adha 2025

Eid ul Adha takes place after the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The Day of Arafah, which is the most significant day of Hajj, will fall on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

Many Muslims from Pakistan and around the world travel to Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj, fulfilling one of the five pillars of Islam.

Eid ul Adha Celebrations in Pakistan

Eid ul Adha is observed for three days, during which:

• Special Eid prayers are performed at mosques and open grounds.
• Qurbani (sacrifice of an animal such as a goat, cow, or camel) is carried out.
• The meat is distributed among family, friends, and the poor.
• People gather with family and friends to share meals and celebrate.
• Charitable donations are made to help those in need.

Zil Hajj Moon Sighting in Pakistan

The official Zil Hajj 1446 AH moon sighting will determine the exact date of Eid ul Adha 2025. The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee of Pakistan will meet to observe the crescent moon, and if the moon is sighted, the first day of Zil Hajj will begin.

In Saudi Arabia, the moon sighting committee will also convene to determine their official Eid date. Saudi Arabia usually celebrates Eid one day earlier than Pakistan.

Eid ul Adha Moon Sighting Dua

Muslims are encouraged to recite the following supplication (dua) upon sighting the Zil Hajj moon:

Arabic:

اللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْيُمْنِ وَالْإِيمَانِ وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ وَالتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضیٰ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللّٰہُ

English Translation:

“O Allah! Let this moon appear over us with blessings, faith, peace, and Islam, and grant us the ability to perform the deeds You love and are pleased with. My Lord and your Lord is Allah.”

Charity and Qurbani in Eid ul Adha

A key aspect of Eid ul Adha is the act of Qurbani (sacrifice), where Muslims slaughter an animal and distribute its meat in three parts:

1. One-third for their own family.
2. One-third for relatives and friends.
3. One-third for the poor and needy.

This act reflects Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) sacrifice and promotes compassion, sharing, and generosity.
