Earlier this year, Muslims observed Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr which is always a very joyous occasion. People celebrate this festival with happiness, excitement and fervour. Soon enough, Muslims will now be celebrating the second Eid of the year that is, Eid-ul-Adha. This occasion is also known as Bakra Eid, Bakrid, Eid al-Adha, Eid Qurban or Qurban Bayarami. It is the second most important festival that is celebrated by Muslims globally. This festival is celebrated in the month of Zul Hijjah/Dhu al-Hijjah, which is the twelfth month of the Islamic or lunar calendar.
  1. What is the history and significance of Eid-ul-Adha?
    The history of this occasion includes when Abraham or Prophet Ibrahim kept having the same dream of his son, Ismael being slaughtered, to fulfil the wishes of God. Ibrahim then spoke to his son regarding this dream and explained to him how God wanted him to make the sacrifice. Ismael, who was a devoted worshipper of God, agreed with his father and sincerely complied with the wishes of Allah.Shaitan (the devil) tempted Ibrahim and tried to persuade him to not make the sacrifice but he tried to shun it away by pelting it with stones. Allah saw Ibrahim’s absolute devotion and sent Jibreel (Angel Gabriel), the Archangel, bearing a sheep for the slaughter. Jibreel told Ibrahim that God was pleased with his devotion to him and sent the sheep to be slaughtered in place of his son. Ever since then, cattle have been sacrificed as a major part of Eid-ul-Adha celebrations. This commemorates Prophet Ibrahim and Ismael’s love for Allah but also shows that one is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice of what they love dearly, for the sake of Allah.
  2. When is Eid-ul-Adha celebrated?
    Eid-ul-Adha will be celebrated on July 09 this year and the sighting of the crescent Dhul Hijjah moon will be seen on June 30, 2022. Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) and Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) announced that Eid al Adha there will be celebrated on Saturday, July 09, 2022.India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong and the Sultanate of Brunei have announced Sunday, July 10, 2022 as the first day of Eid al Adha.
  3. How is Eid-ul-Adha celebrated?
    The Hajj pilgrimage is also done around this time and every Muslim must at least, once travel to Mecca in Saudi Arabia in their lifetime, if they are physically and financially stable. The sighting of the crescent Dhul Hijjah moon marks the beginning of the Islamic month of Dhu Al-Hijjah when the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, one of Islam's five pillars, is performed and is followed by Eid Al Adha on the tenth day.Women, during the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, apply Mehendi in various designs and dress up in very beautiful attires. Many desserts and sweets are made on this occasion to celebrate the amazing festival of Eid-ul-Adha.
