About Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha gives the date of Eid al-Adha this year and in the years ahead, and explains the day with its sources.
Who runs it
Eid al-Adha is made by Muslims Around the World, as one of a family of small Islamic websites that each do one job well. Every site in the family is listed on the Muslims Around the World sites page.
Muslims Around the World is protecting the legacy of Ali Banat, may Allah have mercy on him, and every site in the family is part of that work. Read his story.
You can learn more with us at Muslims Around the World: short reminders from scholars, duas with their meaning, Quran recitations and prayer times.
It is free, carries no third-party adverts and asks for no account.
Where the dates come from
- Calendar
- The Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia, which is worked out in advance and is the calendar most widely published. It runs here from 1343 to 1500 AH (1924 to 2077).
- Moon sighting
- Many communities begin each month when the new crescent is seen, so their dates can be a day later than the calendar’s, now and then a day earlier. The pages say so wherever a date matters.
- Weekdays
- An Islamic day begins at sunset, so the evening before a date already belongs to it: the first taraweeh, or the night of Eid, falls on the evening before.
- Times
- Where a page shows sunrise or prayer times, they are worked out for each city by the same calculation as muslimsaroundtheworld.org, on the city’s own clocks.
