When is Id ul Zuha 2025?
Eid al-Adha in 2025 is expected to fall on Friday, 6 June, based on the local sighting of the moon. It takes place on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar. The day marks the end of Hajj and commemorates the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command.
What Is Id ul Zuha?
Eid al-Adha, or Id ul Zuha, is a time of spiritual reflection, community, and gratitude. It commemorates the great test of faith passed by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the mercy of Allah in replacing his son with a ram. Muslims around the world honour this act by offering Qurban (sacrifice) and sharing the meat with family, neighbours, and those in need.
How is Id ul Zuha Celebrated?
Celebrations begin with a special congregational Eid prayer, followed by warm greetings of “Eid Mubarak,” visiting family and friends, and distributing Qurban meat.
Eid is Meant to Be Celebrated, Not Rushed
Sometimes Eid becomes more about checking boxes—visiting every relative, dressing up, taking photos—and less about genuine joy and reflection. Let’s return to the spirit of Eid: giving, connecting, and reviving the Sunnah.
Make this Id ul Zuha one to remember. Slow down, make the Eid prayer the highlight, include your kids in the Qurban story, and most importantly—share the joy with someone who has less.
