Eid-Al-Adha 2023: Eid-al-Adha, also known as Eid-al-Adha and Eid-ul-Zuha, is a Muslim celebration observed worldwide. The holiday commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s love to Allah, as seen by his willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail.
Eid-Al-Adha Significance
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as Bakrid, is celebrated a day following the conclusion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca (one of Islam’s five most essential pillars). Eid-ul-Adha is known as the sacrifice holiday because it commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail in order to obey Allah’s decree. When Ibrahim was prepared to sacrifice Ismail, Allah substituted a sheep for him.
Eid-ul-Adha celebrations might continue anywhere from two to four days, depending on the country. Following the prayers, the ritual of Qurbani (sacrifice) is performed. A sacrifice of an animal, such as a lamb, sheep, or goat, is required. The meat is then divided into three parts: one-third for you and your family, one-third for friends, and one-third for those in need.
Date of Celebration across the Globe
The date of Eid-ul-Adha is determined by the sighting of the moon. As a result, the date varies from year to year. On June 28, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada will commemorate the occasion.
Meanwhile, Eid-ul-Adha will be celebrated on June 29 for the Islamic community in India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
