Eid ul Adha 2026 is expected to begin on the evening of Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and continue until Friday, May 29, 2026, depending on the sighting of the moon.
Eid ul Adha is one of the most important Islamic celebrations, observed by Muslims worldwide through prayer, charity, and Qurbani.
This sacred occasion is a time of reflection, sacrifice, and generosity. It reminds us not only of devotion to Allah (SWT) but also of our responsibility to support those who are struggling.
For many vulnerable families around the world, Eid ul Adha is more than a celebration; it is a rare opportunity to receive fresh, nutritious food through Qurbani.
Eid ul Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command.
At the moment of sacrifice, Allah replaced his son with a ram, demonstrating that true devotion lies not in the act itself, but in sincerity and submission.
Allah (SWT) says:
“And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.” (Surah As-Saffat 37:107)
Eid ul Adha holds deep spiritual significance in Islam, symbolising obedience, sacrifice, and compassion. Every year, Muslims honour this legacy by strengthening their faith, increasing their charity, and giving Qurbani.
Qurbani (Udhiya) is the act of sacrificing an animal during Eid ul Adha in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) devotion.
Qurbani is a significant act of worship in Islam, and understanding its rules and meaning helps ensure it is performed correctly.
It is required for Muslims who meet the nisab threshold and are financially able, making it both a spiritual obligation and a social responsibility.
Allah (SWT) reminds us:
“It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him.” (Surah Al-Hajj 22:37)
The true value of Qurbani lies in intention, while its impact is seen in the lives of those who receive it. Your sacrifice provides food, dignity, and relief to families in need.
