The Significance of Eid ul-Adha

Eid ul-Adha holds deep significance in Islam, commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. To honor this, Muslims perform Qurbani (animal sacrifice) as a symbol of devotion and faith. The festival emphasizes sacrifice, charity, and helping those in need, values that resonate throughout Pakistan during this sacred time.

Qurbani Guidelines

Qurbani is a central practice during Eid, and there are some important rules to follow:

• The animal must be healthy and meet age requirements (e.g., goats should be at least one year old).

• Sacrifice takes place after the Eid prayer.

• The meat is divided into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives, and one for the needy.

In Pakistan, Eid is marked by vibrant celebrations. People wear new clothes, offer Eid prayers, perform Qurbani, and share meals like biryani, kebabs, and korma. Many also visit the graves of loved ones and donate to charity, keeping the spirit of giving alive.

As Eid ul-Adha 2025 approaches, Pakistan is sure to be filled with festive energy, making it a time for joy, reflection, and togetherness.
