Eid Al Adha 2025: These countries will mark first day of festival on June 7
[Editor's Note: For latest updates on Eid Al Adha announcements in the UAE and region, read Khaleej Times' live blog here.] Countries across the world have been waiting eagerly to sight the moon which will mark the start of Dhul Hijjah, indicating the day Eid Al Adha will be celebrated, which is 10 days from the start of the month. A day before Eid Al Adha, Muslims mark one of the holiest days — Arafah Day — which falls on the ninth day of Dhul Hijjah. Moon sighting is based on the Islamic calendar which is set according to the lunar cycle. This means that all significant days in the Islamic calendar move forward approximately 11 days each year. Therefore, the sighting of the moon determines when the month of Dhul Hijjah starts and when the 10th day will be. This year, Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid Al Adha on either Friday, June 6, or Saturday, June 7, depending on the sighting. Eid Al Adha, a holy festival celebrated by Muslims, falls more than two months after Eid Al Fitr. The occasion is marked by faithful through special animal sacrifices, prayers, charity and celebrations. Here are the countries who have not spotted the moon on Tuesday, May 27, and will be sighting it on Wednesday, May 28. They will be celebrating the holy festival on Saturday, June 7. Malaysia Malaysia will be starting the month on Thursday, May 29, as authorities reported that the moon had not been sighted in the country. This means Eid will be celebrated on Saturday, June 7 in Malaysia. Brunei Brunei followed after Malaysia, with authorities announcing that the moon was not sighted, meaning that Dhul Hijjah will start on Thursday, May 29. Therefore, Eid Al Adha will be celebrated on Saturday, June 7.
