What is Eid ul Adha?

Eid al-Adha, the “festival of sacrifice”, is celebrated on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah, the day after the Day of Arafah, remembering Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah.

Eid al-Adha falls during Hajj and recalls Prophet Ibrahim’s readiness to sacrifice for Allah, when Allah ransomed his son with a great sacrifice (Quran 37:107). Muslims pray the Eid prayer, and those who can afford it offer a Qurbani animal and share the meat with family, neighbours and the poor (22:28, 22:37).

Fasting is not permitted on the day of Eid, nor on the three days of Tashreeq (11–13 Dhu al-Hijjah) that follow, which are days of eating, drinking and remembering Allah (Sahih Muslim 1141). As with the other Eid, the date depends on crescent sighting: Bangladesh is usually a day after Saudi Arabia.

  • Offer the Eid prayer, then Qurbani if you are able; check your local masjid for the Eid prayer time.

In the Quran

Mention the name of Allah on the known days over the sacrificial animals, eat of them and feed the poor.

الحجAl-Hajj 22:28 Read in context

لِّيَشْهَدُوا۟ مَنَـٰفِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ ۖ فَكُلُوا۟ مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا۟ ٱلْبَآئِسَ ٱلْفَقِيرَ ٢٨

Liyashhadoo manafiAAa lahum wayathkurooisma Allahi fee ayyamin maAAloomatin AAalama razaqahum min baheemati al-anAAami fakuloo minhawaatAAimoo alba-isa alfaqeer

That they may witness [i.e., attend] benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allāh on known [i.e., specific] days over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. So eat of them and feed the miserable and poor.

যাতে তারা তাদের জন্য (এখানে রাখা দুনিয়া ও আখিরাতের) কল্যাণগুলো প্রত্যক্ষ করতে পারে আর তিনি তাদেরকে চতুষ্পদ জন্তু হতে যে রিযক দান করেছেন, নির্দিষ্ট দিনগুলোতে তার উপর আল্লাহর নাম উচ্চারণ করতে পারে। কাজেই তোমরা (নিজেরা) তাত্থেকে খাও আর দুঃস্থ অভাবীদের খাওয়াও।

It is not the meat or blood that reaches Allah, but piety from you.

الحجAl-Hajj 22:37 Read in context

لَن يَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَلَـٰكِن يَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٣٧

Lan yanala Allaha luhoomuhawala dimaoha walakin yanaluhuattaqwa minkum kathalika sakhkharahalakum litukabbiroo Allaha AAala ma hadakumwabashshiri almuhsineen

Their meat will not reach Allāh, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may glorify Allāh for that [to] which He has guided you; and give good tidings to the doers of good.

আল্লাহর কাছে ওগুলোর না গোশত পৌঁছে, আর না রক্ত পৌঁছে বরং তাঁর কাছে পৌঁছে তোমাদের তাকওয়া। এভাবে তিনি ওগুলোকে তোমাদের অধীন করে দিয়েছেন যাতে তোমরা আল্লাহর শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব ঘোষণা করতে পার এজন্য যে, তিনি তোমাদেরকে সঠিক পথ দেখিয়েছেন, কাজেই সৎকর্মশীলদেরকে তুমি সুসংবাদ দাও।

When is Eid ul Adha 2026 in Bangladesh?

Eid ul Adha 2026 is expected on Thursday, 28 May 2026 in Bangladesh, usually one day after Saudi Arabia (Wednesday, 27 May 2026), because Bangladesh begins months from local crescent sighting. The date is confirmed only by the announcement of the national moon-sighting committee.

Why do Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh have different dates?

Saudi Arabia uses the Umm al-Qura calendar, which is calculated, while Bangladesh, India and Pakistan start each month from sighting the new crescent in their own sky, so the dates are often a day apart.

How many days after Day of Arafah is Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Adha is the very next day: Arafah is 9 Dhu al-Hijjah and Eid is 10 Dhu al-Hijjah.
