Eid-ul-Adha 2022

Eid ul-Adha 2022 starts on the evening of Saturday 9 July and last four days, coming to an end on the evening of Wednesday 13 July.

While you can specify “Eid ul-Fitr Mubarak” or “Eid ul-Adha Mubarak” to specify between the two festivals, “Eid Mubarak” alone is plenty. “Eid Mubarak” is the traditional phrase used by Muslims to greet each other during both Eid ul-Adha and the Eid ul-Fitr celebrations earlier in the year. LIterally translating as the “Festival of the Sacrifice”, and known colloquially as “Big Eid”, Eid ul-Adha is considered the holier of the two Islamic festivals.

Islamic dates depend on a verified sighting of the first crescent (hilal) of the new moon.

"The crescent needs to be sighted after sunset on the 29th of every Islamic month. This agreement states: "We assert that all efforts will be made to sight it in the United Kingdom on the 29th of each Islamic month. In nearly all of these cases, a retrospective analysis indicates that these extremely early reports of the lunar crescent are impossible and were based on false sightings. It goes on to explain: "Since 1419 AH (1998/99) several official hilal sighting committees have been set up by the government of Saudi Arabia to determine the first visual sighting of the lunar crescent at the beginning of each lunar month. There is a difference of opinions between Muslim scholars as to whether a month should start with the birth of the moon or the visibility of the moon, some experts have admitted. The Noor TV Moonsighting Board, established by Pir Noor ul Arifeen Siddiqui, boss of Aston-based Islamic broadcaster Noor TV, said Eid would be on Sunday "based on actual moonsighting in countries within our time zone."
