Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Millions of Muslims across the world are celebrating Eid al-Adha 2025, one of Islam\u2019s most sacred festivals, coinciding with the conclusion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian Muslim communities across the country are also celebrating the 1446th Eid al-Adha.<\/p>\n

The Eid holiday began on Friday, 6 June, marked by morning prayers, festive gatherings, and the ritual sacrifice of animals in remembrance of Prophet Abraham\u2019s unwavering devotion.<\/p>\n

Eid al-Adha is a time of reflection and spiritual renewal. It serves as a reminder to all Muslims of the importance of faith, devotion and submission to God’s will.<\/p>\n

The day fosters a sense of unity and inclusivity as people from diverse backgrounds come together to celebrate this holy occasion. The festival not only strengthens the bonds within families and communities but also encourages acts of charity and kindness.<\/p>\n

A report shows that in Makkah, more than 1.6 million pilgrims performed the final major ritual of Hajj \u2013 the symbolic “stoning of the devil” \u2013 in Mina valley at dawn.<\/p>\n

Dressed in white garments, they hurled pebbles at three stone pillars to signify Abraham\u2019s rejection of Satan. This rite followed the spiritual peak of Hajj, which occurred on Thursday on Mount Arafa, where worshippers stood in prayer and reflection.<\/p>\n

Eid al-Adha in 2025 is set to begin on today, June 6, and conclude on the evening of Monday, June 9, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon.<\/p>\n

. The festival traditionally spans three to four days, known as the Tashreeq days, during which celebrations continue with communal prayers, feasts, and acts of charity.<\/p>\n

The Day of Arafah, a pivotal moment during the Hajj pilgrimage, precedes Eid al-Adha on June 5, marking a day of reflection and supplication for Muslims worldwide.<\/p>\n

Eid al Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is the holiest of the two Eids celebrated by Muslims worldwide.<\/p>\n

It commemorates the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim, who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah.<\/p>\n

Across the world, Eid is observed in Ethiopia as well as many African countries\u2014and mostly the gulf nations including UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Oman, Iraq, and in Muslim communities in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia.<\/p>\n
