Eid al-Adha 2024 is a yearly festival celebrated by Muslims around the world. In India, Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakr-Eid, will be celebrated on 17th June 2024.
Eid ul-Adha, also called Bakra Eid, Bakrid, Eid Qurban, or Qurban Bayarami, is celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It takes place in the month of Zul Hijjah (Dhu al-Hijjah), the twelfth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. This festival commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God.
What is Eid al Adha 2024?
Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakra Eid or Bakri-Eid in India, is named after the tradition of sacrificing a goat (“bakri” in Hindi). This festival begins after the completion of the holy pilgrimage, Hajj, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. According to the lunar Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha falls in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah and starts on the tenth day of that month. The exact date depends on the sighting of the new moon.
Eid al-Adha commemorates the story of the prophet Ibrahim, who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command. However, before Ibrahim could carry out the sacrifice, God (Allah) provided a lamb to sacrifice instead.
Eid al Adha 2024, Date and Time in India
Eid ul-Adha 2024, also known as Bakra Eid, is expected to be celebrated on Monday, 17th July 2024. However, this date is tentative as the actual celebration depends on the sighting of the moon for Dhul Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar.
Why Eid al Adha 2024 and Bakrid are celebrated in India
Eid al-Adha 2024, also called Bakrid, is celebrated because of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to obey God by sacrificing his son Ismail. In the Quran, it says God was pleased with Ibrahim and Ismail, and God replaced Ismail with a ram for sacrifice. To remember this, Muslims traditionally sacrifice an animal, like a sheep, in an act called Qurbani. They divide the meat into three parts: one for the poor, one for their family, and one for relatives. This celebration honors Ibrahim’s devotion to God and the importance of sharing with others.
