The upcoming Eidul Adha festivities in Pakistan have received official recognition from the federal government, as reported by the Cabinet Division. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has given his endorsement to the proposal put forth by the Cabinet Division, heralding a three-day holiday period from June 17 to 19.
Scheduled to commence on June 17, Eidul Adha marks a significant event in the Islamic calendar, commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering devotion to God. This occasion, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, holds deep religious significance, symbolizing Ibrahim’s readiness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience.
Traditionally, Muslims across the nation observe this festival by sacrificing animals and sharing the meat with loved ones and those less fortunate. This act mirrors Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice and underscores the values of compassion, generosity, and unity within the community.
The announcement of these holidays aims to facilitate widespread celebrations and observances of Eidul Adha, ensuring that individuals can partake in religious rituals, spend time with family, and engage in acts of charity throughout the three-day period.
