Eid-ul-Adha 2022: PM Modi Extend Eid Greetings

Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday wished everyone a happy Eid-ul-Adha and desired that the celebration would encourage everyone to endeavour to advance the spirit of communal prosperity and well-being for the sake of humanity.

“Eid Mubarak! Greetings on Eid-ul-Adha. May this festival inspire us to work towards furthering the spirit of collective well-being and prosperity for the good of humankind,” PM Modi tweeted.

The holy occasion known as the “festival of sacrifice” is also called Eid al-Adha or Bakra Eid, and it is commemorated on July 10 this year. It takes place on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic or lunar calendar. It signals the conclusion of the yearly Hajj trip.

The date varies every year as it’s based on the Islamic lunar calendar, which is around 11 days shorter than the 365-day Gregorian calendar used in the West.

Eid al-Adha is an occasion of joy and peace, where people celebrate with their families, let go of past grudges and make meaningful connections with one another. It is observed to remember Prophet Abraham’s readiness to give up all for God.

Worldwide, there are many various Eid customs and celebrations, and each nation observes this significant holiday in a distinctively cultural way. Muslims in India dress newly and participate in outdoor prayer gatherings. They would sacrifice a sheep or a goat and give the meat to the impoverished, their neighbours, and family members.

On this day, many meals are consumed, including mutton biryani, Ghosht Haleem, Shami Kebab, and mutton korma, as well as desserts like kheer and Sheer Khurma. Giving to the less fortunate is seen as an essential component of Eid al-Adha.
