  In the journey of life, each chapter presents its unique challenges, obstacles, and rewards. There are moments when we find ourselves overwhelmed, questioning whether we will ever reach the finish line. However, just like the narrative arcs of our favorite stories, there’s something deeply satisfying about a well-executed conclusion—one that feels both rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it's a personal goal, a professional project, or even a cherished movie or book, the feeling of completion is something we all strive for. It brings a sense of peace, knowing that despite the ups and downs, there was a purpose behind every step we took. And when the ending is good, it makes all the struggles worthwhile.

UAE: Eid Al Adha 2023 is expected to begin on June 28


 

Eid Al Adha, the second main holiday celebrated in Islam, is expected to begin on June 28 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It falls on the tenth day of Dhul Hijjah, the last month in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar.

Employees in the private and public sectors in the UAE might get a six-day break in June as astronomers predicted Eid Al Adha would take place on June 28. Ibrahim Al Jarwan, chairman of the Emirates Astronomy Society, said that Dhul Hijjah or "The Month of the Pilgrimage" might start on June 19.

Al Jarwan said, “Eid Al Adha will likely be on Wednesday, June 28, and Arafat Day, which is one day before Eid, will be on Tuesday, June 27.”

The Moon-sighting committee of the UAE will confirm the exact date of Eid. The UAE Cabinet has allocated four days of holidays for Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha.

Eid Al Adha coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. All Muslims are required to go to Hajj at least once in their lives. Eid Al Adha is celebrated to honour the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael on the order of God. Dhu al-Hijja is one of the holiest months in Islam.

Muslims believe that God asked Prophet Ibrahim in a dream to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a test of his obedience to the command of God. Muslims observe this day through prayers, animal slaughter, charity, social gatherings, meals, and exchanging gifts.

The holy festival is celebrated by every Muslim across the world. It is a major holiday of four days for Muslims. It is also called the Festival of Sacrifice.
