‘Īd Mubārak!

!عيد مبارك

May Allāh accept the Hajj of all those who performed it this year, and may Allāh instill in us the lesson of sacrifice, as taught to us through the story of the Prophet Ibrāhīm (Abraham) and his son the Prophet Ismā‘īl (Ishmael), peace be upon them both.

May Allāh accept the fasting of those who fasted the first few days of Dhū ’l-Hijjah, and may Allāh forgive us all of our sins, and grant us all entry into Jannat al-Firdaws (the highest level of Paradise)! May Allāh alleviate the suffering of the needy around the world! May Allāh grant victory to His dīn (religion, complete way of life) and those to seek to adhere by it and elevate its status in every aspect of life! Āmīn!

‘Īd al-Adhā (commonly spelled Eid al-Adhā) is an Islāmic religious holiday commemorating the end of the Hajj, a pilgrimage to Makkah that is required at least once for every able-bodied Muslim if he/she is capable of performing it. ‘Īd al-Adhā falls on the 10th day of Dhū ’l-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islāmic calendar.

‘Īd Mubārak (commonly spelled Eid Mubārak) - literally translated means "Blessed Feast" - is the traditional Muslim greeting on the occassion of ‘Īd al-Adhā.
