Yup, it’s that time again folks! Eid-Ul-Adha 2019 (aka the ‘second Eid’) will – probably – be celebrated on Tuesday, 12th of August 2018. For those of you who are wondering, this date is uncertain because the actual date is dependent on the sighting of the moon of Dhul Hijjah.
So why do Muslims celebrate Eid twice a year?
Eid-Ul-Adha is a festival celebrated among Muslims all over the world in remembrance of the sacrifice that Prophet Ibrahim (AS) made out of his strong faith in Allah (SWT). It is the second Eid celebration of the year, following from Eid-Ul-Fitr, which took place this past June.
