Based on early forecasts, Pakistanis are gearing up for Eidul Adha 2025, tentatively slated for Saturday, June 7.
Eidul Adha is a significant religious celebration, and the specific date is determined by the country’s Ruet-e-Hilal moon sighting committee following tradition. Astronomers predict that the crescent moon of Dhul Hijjah will be visible on May 27 in the UAE, suggesting that Eidul Adha will be celebrated there on June 6. However, the dates may vary due to geographical differences, with June 7 currently considered the likely date for Pakistan.

Eidul Adha, one of the two major Islamic festivals alongside Eidul Fitr, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (A.S.) willingness to sacrifice his son for Allah. At the heart of this celebration is Qurbani, during which Muslims ritually slaughter livestock such as cows, goats, or camels. They then distribute the meat among family, friends, and those in need. This festival represents a time of devotion, unity, and generosity, bringing communities across Pakistan together in celebration.
While predictions set the stage, the moon’s sighting confirms it. For now, June 7 is a day of prayer, sacrifice, and joy, bridging faith and festivity in Pakistan’s vibrant tapestry.
