As the summer sun starts to shine brighter, as well as the expectation of one of the most significant festivals in the Islamic calendar, that is, ID-ul-Adha (also known as Bakrad, Bahreid, ID-Ul-Zuha, ID al-Audha, Eid Kurban, Kurban Boyar or Station). Based on early astronomical calculations, Friday, June 6, 2025, it is assumed that the UAE will celebrate the day, giving residents a long weekend to celebrate with loved ones.
In other words, the summer has just become more exciting for the UAE residents, as early astronomical forecasts are hinted on a four-day weekend next month to celebrate ID-ul-Adha 2025. According to Ibrahim al-Jarvan, the chairman of the Emirates Astronomical Society, Wednesday, May 28, 2025, may become the first day of Dhul Jjjj, two-month and last Islam.
This Thursday, June 5, 2025, it would put the day of Arafat, the Holy Hajj day, and then the ID-Ul-Adha the next day. The national holiday will probably continue until Sunday, June 8, 2025, giving both public and private sector long -awaited long weekend.
While these dates offer a useful preview to plan family meetings, travel or stay, they remain orienting until the official monitoring of the month continued throughout the Islamic world. The UAE authorities will announce the confirmed dates closer to the time in accordance with the results of the month’s certificate.
Arafat’s Day is a holiday?
Yes, Arafat’s Day is a state holiday in the UAE, which is observed on the ninth day of the month of Dhul Hiji, since he celebrates the second day of Haja and is considered a deeply spiritual moment in the Islamic faith. Many Muslims choose quickly or think about this day, whether they are in Mecca, performing a pilgrimage or home in different countries of the world.
What does that mean to residents
When these forecasts are fair, workers in the UAE can enjoy two business days in addition to the usual weekend, making it the perfect time for a quick rest, a quiet stay or a quiet celebration of the house with family and friends – a gold opportunity to rest, reflections, celebrations and time of family. It is expected that the holiday will be held from Thursday, June 5, Sunday, June 8, with a return to work on Monday, June 9, 2025.
While astronomers predict these previous dates, the official confirmation of the ID-Ul-Adha will depend on the UAE Committee, which marks the half-moon, which marks the beginning of Dhula Hij. It is expected that the month will appear on Tuesday evening, May 27, 2025, although it may be difficult to notice the naked eye, but it is reported that half a month will be visible 38 minutes after sunset, Ibrahim Al Jongvan reports.
So, whether you are preparing for QURBANI, plan an elegant eid-co-fhal lunch, order your travel plans, or just look forward to a few extra days and a sweet rest, this is the perfect moment to start planning. However, keep in mind that the UAE government will be officially announced by the authorities, which are closer to the traditions that show the moon.
So far, keep track of the official announcements when the date is approaching and get ready to take the spirit of the id-ul-ohha with warmth, thanks and a little extra rest.
