Nationwide celebrations tomorrow

While the Bohra community celebrates Eid ul-Adha today, the rest of the country will observe this significant festival tomorrow. Families are actively preparing for the nationwide festivities.

Global Observances

Eid ul-Adha is also being celebrated today in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other Gulf countries, which often follow the lunar calendar, resulting in different celebration days.

Varied Celebrations in Western Countries

In Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world, Muslims will observe Eid ul-Adha on two different days this year. Some in the USA, UK, Europe, and Canada will celebrate Eid on Sunday, while others will observe it on Monday.

This variation is due to differing lunar sightings and local community decisions.

Significance of Eid ul-Adha

Eid ul-Adha, or the “Festival of Sacrifice,” commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham’s) willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and community gatherings.

The act of Qurbani symbolizes sacrifice and generosity, with the meat often shared among family, friends, and those in need.

As the Bohra community and Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid ul-Adha, it is a time of unity, faith, and shared joy.

From Karachi to the Gulf countries and beyond, the spirit of Eid ul-Adha brings communities together in celebration and worship.
