Eidul Adha is a significant Islamic holiday that is observed by Muslims all over the world. According to astronomical estimates, Eidul Adha will most likely be observed this year on June 28, 2023. On June 27, 2023, the Day of Arafat, a significant event in the Hajj pilgrimage, is anticipated to occur.
Astronomers estimate that the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah will appear on Sunday, June 18, 2023, at 8:38 PM following the conjunction. The new moon will be visible in the skies of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, for 29 minutes, and will be visible in Cairo, Egypt, 36 minutes after sunset on the same day.
These astronomical calculations predict that the new moon of Dhu al-Hijjah will be visible in Arab and Islamic towns between 7 and 44 minutes after sunset. This means that Monday, June 19, 2023 will mark the beginning of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah 1444 Hijri.
Muslims gather for group prayers on Eidul Adha, engage in charitable deeds, and offer a sacrificed animal, typically a sheep. The event is a time for introspection, expressions of appreciation, and social interaction.
This year, as we get ready to celebrate Eidul Adha, let’s keep in mind the virtues of selflessness, altruism, and community that it stands for. May this event strengthen our bonds and encourage us to keep striving for a more tranquil and harmonious world.
