When Is Eid al-Adha 2025? What You Need to Know

Eid al-Adha 2025 is expected to fall on Saturday, June 7, depending on the sighting of the moon. For Muslims around the world, this day marks the culmination of Hajj and a powerful moment of reflection, sacrifice, and generosity. 

But Eid al-Adha is more than a date. It’s a time to act with compassion, revive the Sunnah of Ibrahim (AS), and share the blessings of Qurbani with those in urgent need. 

At Muslim Hands USA, we are preparing now  so your Qurbani reaches families on time, with dignity. 

How Is the Eid al-Adha Date Decided? 

Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The exact date is based on the sighting of the new moon, which may vary by region. 

In 2025, Dhul Hijjah is expected to begin on Thursday, May 29, placing Eid al-Adha on Saturday, June 7. However, this is confirmed closer to the time, depending on your local community and moon sighting authorities. 

🕋 What Happens During Eid al-Adha? 

• Muslims gather for Eid prayer 

• The Qurbani (sacrifice) is performed after the prayer 

• Meat is divided: one-third for the family, one-third for relatives and neighbors, and one-third for the poor 

• Families come together in gratitude, worship, and generosity 

This occasion commemorates the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who submitted fully to Allah’s command. His unwavering faith continues to inspire Muslims across the globe and guides our mission at Muslim Hands USA. 

🐐 When Should I Give My Qurbani? 

Qurbani is performed from the 10th to the 13th of Dhul Hijjah  four days of mercy and reward. At Muslim Hands USA, we fulfill your Qurbani on all four days and prioritize families in Gaza, Yemen, Pakistan, and over 20 countries worldwide. 

We ensure your Qurbani is:
