Muslims in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other Gulf and European nations are observing Eidul Adha with zeal to remember the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
Gulf states celebrate Eidul Adha Today: The festival of the sacrifice known as Eidul Adha is being observed by more than a billion Muslims worldwide.
Masjid-e-Nabvi and Makkah’s Grand Mosque both hosted Eid prayers in Saudi Arabia. The pilgrims who had spent the entire night in Muzdalifa praying under the stars began to move in the direction of Mina.
After arriving in Mina, they will execute the stoning ritual at Jamarat Al-Aqba, offer animal sacrifices, shave their heads, and then depart for Makkah to carry out the Tawaf Al-Ifada and Sai rituals, two additional Haj obligations.
Additionally, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, and Qatar celebrate Eid. Iran, Malaysia, and Indonesia are also observing the day.
As the Hajj pilgrimage came to an end on Tuesday, millions of people flocked to the rocky peak known as Mount Arafat to pray and hear the sermon given from the Nimara mosque in the midst of a stifling Saudi Arabian summer.
Sheikh Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Saeed, who delivered the sermon, emphasised that language, racial, or ethnic distinctions and divides should not cause any strife among Muslims and called on the Ummah to establish unity and cohesiveness.
