Muslims celebrated Eid across the Globe
Muslims throughout the world celebrated Eid ul-Adha 2024, the “Festival of Sacrifice,” with remarkable enthusiasm and unity. Depending on local moon observations, this important Islamic holiday — which celebrates Prophet Ibrahim’s fidelity to God — fell on June 16 or 17.

Millions of pilgrims gathered on Mount Arafat on June 15th, the Day of Arafat, to emphasize prayer and introspection during the Hajj. Mosques were packed for Eid prayers, and families performed the customary sacrifice of cattle, sharing the meat with friends, relatives, and the less fortunate.
The Pakistani federal government has declared June 17– June 19 holidays, giving its people a longer time off to celebrate. People were buying new outfits and special goodies in the crowded markets as they got ready for the celebrations. The joyful atmosphere was enhanced by the announcement of extra times for visitors to Lahore Zoo and Safari Park.
India and other South Asian nations celebrated Eid on June 17 or 18, and similar spectacles of group prayers and feasts were observed there. Communities offered traditional meals such as sheer khurma, which reflected the festival’s spirit of charity and community support.
