Eid

Paying homage to Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha is celebrated similarly to the story in the Quran. Since it takes place after the Hajj, Muslims take a pilgrimage ...

Eid al-Adha is celebrated by millions of Muslims around the world and typically lasts three to four days. A communal prayer (ṣalāt) happens the night before, at sundown. Between the two key Eids ("Festivals") in Islam, al-Adha is considered the holier. This was a reward for Ibrahim's loyalty to Allah. Ibrahim is recognized as Abraham in Christianity and Judaism.

For Muslims watching, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) portrayal of Eid in its latest series, Ms. Marvel, doesn’t really encapsulate the actual essence of Eid. Ms. Marvel aims to show a strong Muslim woman character who develops into a powerful hero. Eid is about worshipping God; it’s about making a sacrifice not only to symbolise our devotion to God but to serve others in need; it’s about gathering to remember the heroic efforts of those before us, and striving to discover that hero in each one of us. When Abraham (as) left her and their infant son in a barren desert, her unshakeable conviction in God and heroic bravery were nothing short of legendary and enabled her to make the necessary sacrifices and take up the challenge placed before her by God. She didn’t worry for herself, but made the sacrifice and took up the challenge for the greater good.

Islamic dates depend on a verified sighting of the first crescent (hilal) of the new moon.

"The crescent needs to be sighted after sunset on the 29th of every Islamic month. This agreement states: "We assert that all efforts will be made to sight it in the United Kingdom on the 29th of each Islamic month. In nearly all of these cases, a retrospective analysis indicates that these extremely early reports of the lunar crescent are impossible and were based on false sightings. It goes on to explain: "Since 1419 AH (1998/99) several official hilal sighting committees have been set up by the government of Saudi Arabia to determine the first visual sighting of the lunar crescent at the beginning of each lunar month. There is a difference of opinions between Muslim scholars as to whether a month should start with the birth of the moon or the visibility of the moon, some experts have admitted. The Noor TV Moonsighting Board, established by Pir Noor ul Arifeen Siddiqui, boss of Aston-based Islamic broadcaster Noor TV, said Eid would be on Sunday "based on actual moonsighting in countries within our time zone."
