\ud83c\udf19 Significance of Zilhajj and the Moon Sighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The moon sighting today is especially important because it signals the beginning of a sacred period in Islam. Zilhajj<\/strong> is the month during which millions of Muslims from around the world gather in Makkah<\/strong> to perform Hajj<\/strong>, one of the Five Pillars of Islam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is also the month in which Eid-ul-Adha<\/strong> \u2014 the Festival of Sacrifice<\/strong> \u2014 is observed. If the moon is sighted this evening, Eid-ul-Adha is expected to fall on Friday, 7th June 2025<\/strong>, in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udd4b Eid-ul-Adha: The Festival of Sacrifice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Eid-ul-Adha<\/strong> commemorates the ultimate act of obedience by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.)<\/strong>, who was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail (A.S.)<\/strong> on God\u2019s command. At the last moment, Allah replaced Ismail with a ram, and this event is honored by Muslims today through Qurbani (animal sacrifice)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During Eid:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Muslims sacrifice goats, cows, or camels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The meat is divided into three portions<\/strong>: one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for the poor and needy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Eid prayers are offered in large congregations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The celebrations span three days<\/strong>, filled with acts of worship, charity, and family gatherings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Zilhajj also marks the time for Hajj<\/strong>, the annual pilgrimage to Makkah. Thousands of Pakistani pilgrims<\/strong> have already traveled to Saudi Arabia to perform this life-changing religious duty. The Pakistani Ministry of Religious Affairs<\/strong> is overseeing logistical arrangements and health services for pilgrims during their stay in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n
