When is it?
Eid al-Adha begins on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah and is observed over four days in Türkiye. It coincides with the pilgrimage season. Its Gregorian date changes each year; confirm it against your local calendar.
Historical and Quranic context
The festival is associated with Abraham’s devotion. Quran 37:100–111 is read in this context. Abu Dawud 1134 relates the two Eids to the community in Medina. Reading the sources together helps distinguish the scriptural story from the history of communal observance.
Meaning and practices
Quran 22:37 places devotion at the centre of sacrifice. Prayer, visits and sharing are widespread practices. Seek qualified guidance on the obligation and conditions of sacrifice, and observe animal welfare, hygiene and local requirements.
