Bakra Eid 2025 Celebrations Begin June 7
The predicted date of June 7, 2025, for Eidul Azha is based on the sighting of the crescent moon for the month of Zilhaj 1446 AH, and the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee's confirmation will be eagerly awaited by Muslims in Pakistan and globally, as they prepare to observe this significant Islamic celebration.
Eidul Azha, also known as Bakra Eid, is set to be celebrated on June 7, 2025, as predicted by the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco), marking a significant Islamic celebration that honors Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son.
The festival, observed on the 10th of Zilhaj, is a time for prayers, charitable giving, family gatherings, and the ritual sacrifice of livestock, with the meat shared among family, friends, and those in need. The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will hold the final authority to confirm the moon's sighting, which is expected to be extremely low due to a 37-minute interval between sunset and moonset.
In Saudi Arabia, the stock market will observe Eid Al Adha holidays from Thursday, June 5 to Tuesday, June 10, resulting in a six-day holiday, with trading resuming on Wednesday, June 11. The celebration of Eidul Azha marks the culmination of Haj, one of the five pillars of Islam, and is a significant occasion for Muslims around the world.
As Muslims prepare to celebrate Eidul Azha, they are reminded of the importance of compassion, generosity, and devotion to their faith, and the festival is expected to be observed with great fervor and enthusiasm across Pakistan and around the world.
