About Eid al-Adha 2026
Eid al-Adha 2026, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid," is the second and larger of the two major Islamic holidays. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah.
The holiday coincides with the completion of Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. Millions of Muslims worldwide celebrate by performing the Qurbani (ritual sacrifice), attending special prayers, wearing new clothes, and gathering with family and friends for festive meals.
