Significance Of Eid al-Adha 2025
Eid al-Adha takes place in the month of Zul-Hijjah, coinciding with the sacred Hajj pilgrimage undertaken by Muslims worldwide. This festival marks the culmination of the Hajj rituals. Central to Bakrid is the practice of Qurbani, or animal sacrifice, which symbolises devotion and obedience to Allah. Islamic teachings emphasise that performing this sacrifice of a goat or other permissible animals is a religious duty, believed to bring spiritual blessings.
