Eid Al-Adha coincides with the completion of Hajj – the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca – in Saudi Arabia, which is an obligation for every able Muslim once in their lifetime.
It falls on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the last and most sacred month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Muslims often fast on the first nine days of this month to seek God’s mercy and blessings.
This year, some countries celebrate Eid al-Adha on Sunday, while some others observe it on Monday.
