What is the Expected Date of Eid ul Adha 2025 in Pakistan?
Eid ul Adha is determined by the lunar Islamic calendar, specifically the sighting of the moon for the month of Dhul Hijjah, the 12th and final month in the Islamic calendar. Based on astronomical calculations and current lunar phases, Eid ul Adha in Pakistan is expected to begin on the evening of Friday, 6th June 2025, and end on the evening of Tuesday, 10th June 2025.
The month of Dhul Hijjah is tentatively set to start on Wednesday, 28th May 2025. The Hajj pilgrimage, one of the five pillars of Islam, will occur shortly before Eid. Specifically:
- Hajj Days will span from 4th June to 8th June 2025.
- The Day of Arafah, the most spiritually significant day, is expected to fall on Thursday, 5th June 2025.
It’s important to note that these dates are based on lunar calculations and may vary depending on the actual moon sighting. The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Pakistan’s official moon-sighting body, usually makes the final announcement.
Eid ul Adha is a time to celebrate, reflect, and give back. While the tentative dates for Eid ul Adha 2025 are now known, it’s essential to keep an eye out for the official moon sighting to confirm when festivities will begin.
