Eid ul-Adha 2025: Also known as Bakrid or Bakri Eid, this major Islamic festival is being celebrated in India on Saturday, June 7, 2025, depending on the moon sighting. The occasion is marked by reflection, sacrifice, charity, and joyous celebrations among Muslims worldwide. Eid ul-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The day before, Friday, June 6, will be observed as Arafat Day (Yaum al-Arafah), considered the holiest day in Islam and closely tied to the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.
History of Eid-ul-Adha:
Eid al-Adha's history goes back to the time of Prophet Ibrahim. According to the Holy Quran, Allah commanded Prophet Ibrahim in a dream to sacrifice his son Ismail to show his devotion. Prophet Ibrahim decided to obey without hesitation. However, before he could sacrifice his son, Allah provided a lamb to sacrifice instead. This was a test from Allah, which Prophet Ibrahim passed. Since then, Muslims have performed animal sacrifices on Eid al-Adha, which is why the festival is also known as Bakra Eid.
