Eid ul-Adha honours the well-known tale of the Prophet Ibrahim, also known as Abraham in the Christian and Jewish traditions, who was willing to sacrifice his son in response to God’s mandate.

Eid ul-Adha, the second of the two main Eid celebrations that occur annually, will soon be celebrated by Muslims.

The Feast of the Sacrifice, Big Eid, and Eid ul-Adha are additional names for this holiday. It is seen as more sacred than Eid ul-Fitr, which celebrates the conclusion of Ramadan.

The exact day of Eid ul-Adha cannot be anticipated because it depends on the moon’s sighting; nevertheless, we may predict when it will occur this year and provide information about its significance and prayer timings in the Rawalpindi.

When is Eid ul-Adha 2022?

The four-day Eid ul-Adha festival will start on Sunday, July 10, in the evening and remain until Thursday, July 14, in the evening.

The tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic Hijri calendar, marks its occurrence; the date in the Gregorian calendar advances by about 11 days annually. The Hajj always takes place throughout the same week.

There is some disagreement about whether the term “moon sighting” should refer to you actually seeing the moon.

What is the meaning behind Eid ul-Adha?

The holiday of Eid ul-Adha commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim, also known as Abraham in the Christian Old Testament, for his readiness to sacrifice his son in accordance with God’s instruction.

Before Ibrahim, known in Islam as Allah, fulfilled the agonising request, God provided a lamb for him to slaughter in its place.

An animal is typically sacrificed and divided into three parts in an act known as Qurbani to commemorate this. A portion of the sheep is divided among the impoverished, the immediate family at home, and distant relatives.

How is Eid ul-Adha celebrated?

Muslims who want to help less fortunate families celebrate Eid properly may donate money to charities, and mosques and community organisations frequently host communal dinners.

Before and after Eid prayers, they chant the Takbir, which is the Arabic proclamation “Allahu akbar,” or “God is wonderful.”

Eid Mubarak will be used as a greeting, and participants will customarily exchange gifts and eat with friends and family.

“Eid Mubarak” might literally mean “blessed celebration” or “blessed feast,” however it is typically understood to mean “happy Eid.” The Arabic word “mubarak” translates to “blessed,” while “Eid” means feast, festival, or celebration.
