What Is Qurban Bayramı?
Qurban Bayramı, also known as Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice, marks one of the most important events in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the story of Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) unwavering faith and his willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. Muslims around the world honor this legacy with acts of worship, reflection, and animal sacrifice known as Qurbani.
When is Qurban Bayramı in 2025?
In 2025, Qurban Bayramı is expected to begin on the evening of Thursday, June 5, with Eid prayers and Qurbani taking place from June 6 to June 8, depending on moon sightings. These dates mark the 10th to 12th of Dhul-Hijjah in the Islamic lunar calendar.
Global Traditions: One Eid, Many Cultures
While the religious essence of Qurban Bayramı remains the same everywhere, cultural expressions vary beautifully:
- In Turkey, families visit relatives, exchange sweets, and say “Bayramınız kutlu olsun.”
- In Pakistan, Eid involves large communal prayers, cooking lavish meat dishes, and distributing meat to the poor.
- In Indonesia, Qurban is a community affair, with public slaughtering events and meat distribution to remote villages.
- In the USA and Europe, Muslims celebrate in multicultural communities, often donating Qurbani through humanitarian organizations like Embrace Relief.
