Eid ul Adha, also known as the “Feast of the Sacrifice,” is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. In 2025, Eid ul Adha is expected to begin on Wednesday, June 10th, and end on Thursday, June 11th, in the United States. The exact dates may vary slightly depending on the sighting of the moon.
Eid ul Adha commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as an act of obedience to God. Muslims celebrate this holiday by slaughtering animals, such as sheep, goats, or cows, and distributing the meat to the poor and needy. Eid ul Adha is also a time for family gatherings, prayers, and feasting.
