EID-UL-ADHA 2023: Eid-ul-Adha, also known as Eid-al-Adha or Eid-ul-Zuha, is a significant Islamic festival celebrated worldwide, holding great religious and cultural importance within the Muslim community. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail, as an act of obedience to Allah.
Eid-ul-Adha is also considered the auspicious occasion for the conclusion of the yearly Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, an integral component of the Five Pillars of Islam. It honors the story of Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering devotion and willingness to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail, as an act of submission to Allah’s command. As Prophet Ibrahim prepared to carry out the sacrifice, God intervened and provided a substitute to be sacrificed in place of his son, symbolizing the ultimate act of faith and mercy.
Muslims worldwide commemorate this day by performing the Qurbani, the ritual sacrifice of an animal, such as a goat or sheep. The meat from the sacrificed animal is then divided into three parts: one-third for the individual or family, one-third for relatives and friends, and one-third for the less fortunate. This act of sharing and giving reinforces the spirit of generosity and compassion.
Eid-ul-Adha is observed in numerous countries worldwide, and the specific dates vary based on the sighting of the moon. Therefore, the date of Eid-ul-Adha varies on the Gregorian calendar from year to year, as the Islamic calendar is approximately eleven days shorter than the solar-based Gregorian calendar.
Consequently, each year, Eid-ul-Adha falls on different Gregorian dates in different parts of the world. This discrepancy occurs because the visibility of the crescent moon, which marks the beginning of the Islamic month, varies depending on the location. It is essential to note that the exact dates may vary based on local moon sightings and regional traditions.
