Eid ul-Adha is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims around the world. It is a time to commemorate the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and to seek forgiveness from Allah. The date of Eid ul-Adha changes every year based on the Islamic lunar calendar. In 2025, Eid ul-Adha will begin on the evening of Tuesday, June 30th, and end on the evening of Wednesday, July 1st.
The date of Eid ul-Adha is significant because it marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for all able-bodied Muslims. During the Hajj, pilgrims perform a series of rituals, including circumambulating the Kaaba, praying on Mount Arafat, and sacrificing an animal.
