Eid Ul Adha, also referred to as Bakrid, is a major Muslim festival that will be celebrated on May 26, 2026. This festival commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim's unwavering devotion to Allah, exemplified by his willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to divine command. In recognition of Ibrahim's faith, Allah provided a sheep to be sacrificed instead. The celebrations begin with special congregational prayers held in mosques or public areas, followed by a sermon that highlights themes of community, compassion, and sacrifice. Financially stable Muslims participate in ritual animal sacrifices, typically of sheep or goats, with the meat being divided among family, friends, and those in need. Charitable acts are emphasized, encouraging donations to help the less fortunate partake in the festivities. Traditional delicacies are prepared, homes are adorned, and wearing new clothes is customary, enhancing the festive spirit.
