Eid ul-Adha 2025: Prayer Timings, Holiday Status, Greetings, and Celebrations

Eid ul-Adha 2025 is expected to be observed on June 7 in India, with prayer timings across the UAE announced, such as Abu Dhabi at 5:50 AM and Dubai at 5:45 AM. The festival commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son, emphasizing devotion, submission, and charity, with traditional dishes like biryani and sweets. Although many reports claimed June 6 might be a national holiday, the Reserve Bank of India confirmed that only bank closures are scheduled on June 6 in certain cities like Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi, with no nationwide holiday declared. The festival involves offering prayers, exchanging greetings in multiple languages, and participating in Hajj for many Muslims. Celebrations include sharing wishes, messages, and images of Eid Mubarak across social media. The festival's date varies based on lunar sightings, and it is a significant religious occasion marked by charity and community bonding.
