Eid ul-Adha 2025 in Pakistan Likely on June 7 – Astronomers Predict

Many people in Pakistan are wondering what the date for Eid ul-Adha 2025 will be. Dr. Faheem Hashmi, an experienced Pakistani astronomer, suggests that next year’s Eid Al Fitr will be celebrated on Saturday, June 7. His idea is supported by science and the observation of lunar cycles.

Eid ul-Adha’s date should be known by Muslims to help with plans for traveling, offering sacrifices and family events. Allow us to explain what causes this date change and what Muslims in Pakistan can expect from it.

🌙 Why the Moon Matters in Determining Eid

Muhammadi Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, takes place on the 10th day of Zilhajj which is the last month of the Islamic calendar. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, seeing a new moon signals the start of every month.

Zilhajj’s new moon is expected to be on May 27, however, due to its recent birth, astronomers feel it won’t be visible on that evening. At this point, the moon is too faint to be seen by the naked eye.

🌌 May 28: A Strong Candidate for Moon Sighting

According to the observations, on May 28, the moon will have already aged by 35 hours by the time the sun sets. There is a bigger chance that this bird will be spotted not only in Pakistan but also in other parts of the region. If you spot the moon on the day before, the first of Zilhajj would begin on May 29.

For this reason, the Eid will be celebrated on June 7.

Essential Fact about Astronomy:

On May 27, the Moon is just turning ~11 hours old and cannot be seen.

On May 28, the Moon is about 35 hours old and is very easy to see.

•The Zilhajj month commenced on May 29, so Eid ul-Adha will be celebrated on June 7.

With this method, the moon is noticed according to Islamic customs, making use of modern astronomy to improve the reliability of results.

📅 What This Means for Eid Preparations

Since Eid ul-Adha will come on Saturday, people in Pakistan now have chances to be organized. People can:

Plan trips for family gatherings as early as possible.

Early buying of animals ensures that you pay less for them.

•             Make sure the giving of charity or Qurbani runs smoothly

Plan the prayers, meals and gatherings associated with Eid so that things happen smoothly.

When the date is known, it is easier for individuals and companies to prepare in advance. As a result of the forecast, bakra mandis and suppliers of meat in India are now operating at a higher rate.

🐐 The Significance of Eid ul-Adha

It remembers when Prophet Ibrahim (AS) was willing to sacrifice his son for Allah. At the last moment, Allah intervened by replacing the child with a ram as a sign of His blessings and goodness.

Muslims recall the occasion by sacrificing animals and sharing their meat with members of their community and the poor. Another part of holiday seasons is that:

•             Praying and thinking about life

•             The closeness of family members

•             Giving to the needy

•             Feeling grateful for all God has given us

This event is significant in Islamic culture, so preparing on time for it leads to a better celebration.

🕌 Official Announcement Still Pending

Scientists may explain the facts, but it is the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee that officially decides the beginning of Islamic months in Pakistan. Depending on when the snow appears, the committee will gather on May 28 to complete the decision.

It has happened at times in history that some regions disagree on moon sighting with either their local institutions or official councils. Many people may see the moon on May 28 this year, prompting more agreement in the country.

🧠 Public Awareness and Scientific Insight Growing

There has been a growing interest in astronomy predictions in recent times. Many people are now aware that the sighting of the moon is determined by natural reasons and not only by beliefs.

Thanks to Dr. Hashmi’s thorough predictions, people have enough time to get prepared. He uses detailed information about the moon to predict a reliable date for Eid.

🕋 International Alignment with Hajj

Since Eid ul-Adha coincides with the Hajj, people wait for Saudi Arabia’s instructions to arrange the combined holiday. If Zilhajj starts on May 29 in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, it means Muslims in all parts of the world can celebrate it together.

Coordinating the Hajj creates a spiritual bond among all Muslims, particularly those in Pakistan who have relatives or friends doing the pilgrimage.
