“Eid Mubarak” means “Blessed Eid” — a traditional Islamic greeting exchanged during Eid ul Adha and Eid ul Fitr. Eid ul Adha 2026 falls on May 28, 2026 (10 Dhul Hijjah 1447 AH), marking the Festival of Sacrifice observed by over 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide, including millions in Bangladesh.
What Is Eid ul Adha?
Eid ul Adha (also written as Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Adha Mubarak) is one of the two most important Islamic festivals in the year. It is also known as:
- Bakra Eid or Bakrid (in South Asia, including Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan)
- The Festival of Sacrifice
- Greater Eid (as opposed to Eid ul Fitr, which is called “Lesser Eid”)
The Story Behind Eid ul Adha
Eid ul Adha commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) — peace be upon him — to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) in obedience to Allah’s (God’s) command. Before the sacrifice could happen, Allah replaced Ismail with a ram, affirming that Ibrahim had passed the ultimate test of faith.
This powerful story of devotion, obedience, and trust in God is at the heart of every Eid ul Adha celebration around the world.
What Happens During Eid ul Adha?
- Muslims perform Eid Salah (special prayer) in the morning at mosques or open prayer grounds
- Families slaughter a halal animal (cow, goat, sheep, or camel) — called Qurbani
- The meat is divided into three equal parts: one-third for the family, one-third for relatives and friends, and one-third for the poor
- People wear new or clean clothes, exchange greetings, and visit loved ones
- It also marks the end of Hajj — the annual pilgrimage to Mecca

Why Does the Date Change Every Year?
Eid ul Adha falls on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah — the 12th and final month of the Islamic lunar (Hijri) calendar. Because the lunar calendar is approximately 10–11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar, Eid moves earlier by that amount each year.
What Does “Eid Mubarak” Mean?
“Eid Mubarak” is an Arabic greeting that directly translates to “Blessed Festival” or “Blessed Eid.”
- Eid (عيد) = Festival, celebration, or holiday
- Mubarak (مبارك) = Blessed, auspicious, or fortunate
When someone says “Eid Mubarak” to you, the traditional response is:
- “Khair Mubarak” (خیر مبارک) — meaning “May you also be blessed”
- “Eid Mubarak to you too”
- “Taqabbal Allahu Minna Wa Minkum” — meaning “May Allah accept from us and from you”
The phrase “Eid al-Adha Mubarak” specifically means “Blessed Festival of Sacrifice.”
