Eid al‑Adha is one of the most sacred moments in the Islamic calendar — a time of devotion, sacrifice, and gratitude. It is the Eid that commemorates the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah.
Muslims around the world honour this legacy through the beautiful act of Qurbani.
In 2026, Eid al‑Adha is expected to fall around Sunday 28 June 2026 (subject to moon sighting).
The days of Qurbani will take place from the 10th to the 12th of Dhul Hijjah.
Eid al‑Adha — the “Festival of Sacrifice” — is a celebration of faith, obedience, and compassion. It marks the completion of Hajj and brings Muslims together in worship, prayer, and charity.
Families gather for Eid prayers, share meals, and remember the importance of submitting to Allah with sincerity and gratitude.
Qurbani (Udhiya) is the sacrifice of an animal - usually a sheep, goat, cow, or camel - performed during the days of Eid.
