ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN – The Meteorological Department of Pakistan is anticipating the sighting of the Eid-ul-Adha moon on June 7, leading to the observation of the major Islamic festival on June 17 across the country, according to an official announcement made today.
The Met Office prediction has set off preparations among citizens for the upcoming celebrations of Eid-ul-Adha, one of the two most important Islamic festivals commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah.
“As the blessed occasion draws near, Pakistani families are making arrangements to mark the Festival of Sacrifice with traditional fervor and spirituality,” said Mufti Munir Ahmed, a prominent religious scholar based in Islamabad. “The sacrifice of permissible animals and distribution of meat among relatives and the underprivileged is a core tradition carrying profound symbolic meaning.”

In the capital and cities nationwide, markets are witnessing a surge in the sale of goats, sheep, and cows in anticipation of the ritual sacrifice on Eid day. Special prayers, family gatherings, and acts of charity also form an integral part of the three-day festivities.
“Eid-ul-Adha is an occasion for reinforcing the bonds of brotherhood, compassion, and community service,” Ahmed added. “Muslims are enjoined to help those in need and spread happiness during this blessed period.”
The Met Office has advised the general public to await the official moon sighting confirmation closer to the expected date. However, the predicted date has stirred joyous celebrations across the nation as people prepare to commemorate the festival while cherishing its core values of sacrifice, unity, and gratitude.
