As per the announcement from Saudi Arabia, Eid Al-Adha, the revered "Festival of Sacrifice," is expected to be celebrated on Friday, June 6th, 2025, corresponding to the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. Muslims in Northeast India, while often looking to Saudi Arabia for the initial announcement of Islamic holidays, may also observe local moon sightings which could lead to a slight variation in the date.
Nevertheless, the spirit of Eid Al-Adha will resonate deeply across the region. This significant festival commemorates the profound faith of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. Muslims will observe this day with special morning prayers in mosques and Eidgahs, followed by the symbolic sacrifice of animals like goats, sheep, or cattle.
A core tenet of Eid Al-Adha is the sharing of the sacrificial meat with family, friends, and those less fortunate, reinforcing the values of charity and community solidarity. Festive meals will be prepared and enjoyed, and families will come together to celebrate this joyous occasion. While the exact date might be subject to local moon sighting confirmations, the anticipation and preparations for Eid Al-Adha on or around June 6th will be evident in the vibrant communities of Northeast India.
