Moon Sighting and Official Confirmation

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee of Pakistan has officially announced that Eid-ul-Adha will be celebrated across the country on Saturday, June 7, 2025. This decision follows the confirmed sighting of the Zil Hajj crescent moon on the evening of May 27, 2025, marking the commencement of the Islamic month of Zil Hajj on May 28.

The announcement was made by the Committee's chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad after a meeting in Karachi, with participation from scholars, meteorologists, and SUPARCO officials. Verified testimonies of moon sighting were received from various cities, leading to this conclusion.

Significance of Eid-ul-Adha

Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is one of the major Islamic celebrations. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in submission to Allah's command. Muslims mark the day by sacrificing animals and distributing the meat among family, friends, and those in need.

Preparations and Observances

Following the announcement, cities across Pakistan are buzzing with preparations. Livestock markets are active, and local administrations are issuing health and safety guidelines. Special Eid prayers will be held in mosques and open areas, followed by Qurbani rituals over three days.

Community and Charity

The core message of Eid-ul-Adha centers around devotion, charity, and community welfare. Distributing meat to the underprivileged helps spread joy and compassion. Many charitable groups are planning Qurbani drives to ensure inclusivity during the celebrations.

With Eid-ul-Adha confirmed for June 7, 2025, Muslims across Pakistan are preparing for a spiritually meaningful and community-focused celebration. The festival is a powerful reminder of sacrifice, gratitude, and shared humanity.
