It’s right around the corner!
According to the International Astronomical Centre, Eid Al Adha will most likely begin on Saturday, July 9 in most Islamic countries!
The UAE’s moon-sighting committee will confirm the date closer to the time.
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.
Workers can expect a long weekend as the religious holiday falls on a Saturday. However, official holiday dates for the public and private sectors will be announced closer to the date.
