Millions of Muslims across the world are marking Eidul Azha, offering special prayers, sharing meals, and distributing meat to the less fortunate.
Celebrated on the 10th of Zilhaj, Eidul Azha marks the culmination of Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam.
Worshippers in several countries, including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Thailand, and Myanmar, gathered to mark the festivities, amid the shadow of Israeli bombardment and siege in Gaza, which has so far claimed the lives of over 54,000 Palestinians.
In Pakistan, large congregational prayers were held at mosques and open grounds, with communities coming together to perform the ritual sacrifice and distribute meat among the less fortunate.

Women get ready for meaty feasts
The women of the city have completed the three-day preparations for Eidul Azha. From meat dishes to home decorations, from new clothes for children to their own adornment, women have completed every task. On Eidul Azha, while men were busy buying sacrificial animals, women took on all the responsibilities inside the house. A day before Eid, homemakers have completely cleaned the refrigerator and deep freezer so that there is no problem in preserving the sacrificial meat. They have also bought spices to prepare delicious dishes from the sacrificial meat. Foodies have also submitted their food lists. The regular favourites include biryani, pulao, karhai and barbecue items. While scores of young ones are glued to online sites for culinary experiments with sacrificial meat. Zakia, a homemaker from Scheme 33, while talking to The Express Tribune said, "I have started cleaning, arranging the dishes and organising the kitchen. I have prepared everything, including children's clothes and my own shoes. The rush in the kitchen will start from the morning of Eid, but happiness has its own taste, the spirit of Eidul Azha." Similarly, Razia, a 45-year-old from Gulshan-e-Iqbal, said, "These days are tiring for us. We have made special arrangements to handle the meat. I have even crushed special spices and the preparation of various meat dishes will start from the morning of Eid." Razia said she also went to the parlor to look fresh on Eid. It will be a holiday for the maids and we will be in the kitchen. Hufsa upbeat on the annual meat bonanza said: "My message to young girls, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Eid celebrated in parts of Khyber district
KHYBER: Khyber district's Bara region witnessed divided Eid celebrations once again as nearly 30 percent of the local population observed Eidul Adha Friday, in line with Saudi Arabia. The rest of the population plans to celebrate the festival today (on Saturday), as per the official announcement by Pakistan's central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. According to the report, hundreds of worshippers offered Eid prayers in Bara. After the prayers, people returned to their homes to fulfil the Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi—the ritual animal sacrifice performed in remembrance of Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim's (AS) obedience to God. This year, Eid al-Adha fell on June 6 in Saudi Arabia and neighbouring Gulf countries, as well as Indonesia. Meanwhile, many other countries, including Pakistan and India, will observe it on June 7. Globally, there are approximately 1.9 billion Muslims— around 25 percent of the world's population. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population, with about 230 million, followed by Pakistan with 212 million, India with 200 million, Bangladesh with 150 million, and Nigeria with 100 million Muslims.
