Eid-ul-Adha 2025: What are the Eid Namaz timings in Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai & Bengaluru?

Bakrid Namaz Timings: Eid-ul-Adha, also known as Eid al-Zuha, Bakrid, Feast of Sacrifice or Eid al-Bakr, is one of the most sacred and widely celebrated Islamic festivals in the world. In 2025, this holy day will be observed in India on Saturday, June 7, a day after Saudi Arabia and some other Gulf countries celebrate it on June 6. Muslims across the nation will gather for special Namaz (prayers), offer sacrifices, and spread love and kindness.

What is Eid-ul-Adha, and why is it celebrated?

Eid-ul-Adha, also called Bakrid or the ¡°Festival of Sacrifice,¡± honours the faith and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who was ready to sacrifice his son to follow Allah¡¯s command. Before the sacrifice could take place, Allah replaced his son with a ram, symbolising divine mercy and the importance of faith.

Every year, Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Adha by offering special Namaz, sacrificing animals (Qurbani), sharing food and meat with the poor, and spending time with family and friends.

When is Bakrid 2025 in India?

In 2025, the crescent moon of Dhul Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is expected to be sighted on the evening of May 28 in South Asian countries including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This will mark the start of Dhul Hijjah on May 29, and hence, Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid) will be celebrated on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, i.e. June 7, 2025.

Meanwhile, countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, and Indonesia will observe Eid on June 6, based on their own moon sightings.

Why Namaz Timings Matter on Eid-ul-Adha 2025

One of the most important parts of Eid-ul-Adha celebrations is the special Eid Namaz, which is performed in large congregations at mosques or open grounds. This prayer must be offered shortly after sunrise, usually 15 to 20 minutes after, and must be completed before the time for the regular Zuhr prayer begins.

Namaz timings may vary slightly based on city and local moon sighting, but major cities in India usually follow similar schedules.
