It’s important to recognize that these predictions provide a general timeframe, as the actual dates can differ between countries due to geographical variations in moon visibility.
Eidul Adha is one of Islam’s two major festivals, commemorating the steadfast faith of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.), who was ready to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command.
The main ritual of this occasion is Qurbani (sacrifice), where Muslims slaughter livestock such as cows, goats, sheep, or camels in accordance with Islamic guidelines.
The meat is then distributed among family, friends, and those in need, emphasizing the values of generosity and compassion that are at the heart of the festival.
