Wohoo!
According to the Saudi Supreme Court, the Dhu Al Hijja crescent moon was seen on Wednesday evening by the Tumair Observatory. This sighting has marked that Saturday, July 9th, will be the first day of Eid Al Adha!
According to the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, the holiday will last from Friday, July 8 to Monday, July 11.
Eid Al Adha which is known as the festival of sacrifice is an important time for celebration for many Muslims out there. It reminds them of the importance of their obedience to God. During this celebration, Muslims engage in lots of prayer as well as getting dressed up, meeting family, friends, and may symbolically sacrifice an animal during that time. They then share the meat with their family members and with people who are unprivileged.
