This date difference often noticed due to moon sightings that vary by the region
Eid-ul-Adha Significance?
Also known as the festival of sacrifice, Eid-ul-Adha honours the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (also known as Abraham), who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. As per religious belief, just before this act could be conducted, God provided a ram as a substitute. This was done as a reward for Ibrahim for his unwavering faith. This act of devotion is remembered every year through ritual sacrifices.
Eid ul-Adha 2025 Dates
Saudi Arabia: June 6, 2025, Friday
India: June 7, 2025, Saturday
This variation happens because the Islamic calendar is lunar-based, and the date of Dhul Hijjah 10, which marks Eid, depends on moon sightings.
Eid-ul-Adha 2025 Timings
The devotional prayers for Eid-ul-Adha 2025 or Bakrid are held shortly after the sunrise. This happens typically around 15 to 20 minutes later. The timing usually depends on the location and moon sighting but most places in India like Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, and Bengaluru will mostly be following the same timing.
