50 Eid al-Adha Greetings, Wishes, and Kid-Friendly Jokes for Anyone Who Celebrates

Eid al-Adha is the most significant holiday on the Islamic calendar, and it is celebrated by Muslims worldwide. Wish family, friends, or colleagues Eid al-Adha Mubarak (Happy Eid) this year with our list of 50 Eid al-Adha Mubarak messages and greetings for 2023.

Eid al-Adha falls on June 29 this year, marking the end of Hajj. Hajj is one of the 5 pillars of Islam. Those who will be embarking on Hajj this year will make pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia and surrounding sites. Approximately 2 million people go to Hajj every year during the last month of the Islamic calendar. (The Islamic calendar is a 12 month, fully lunar calendar).

Hajj is a time for repentance and calling out to God to fulfill our needs and help us with our problems. Those who are not embarking on Hajj this year might voluntarily fast during the days of Hajj instead. The first 10 days of the last Islamic month, Dhul Hijjah, are the most sacred days of the entire Islamic year. The days are even more sacred than the days of Ramadan. (But not the nights of Ramadan!)

At the end of the sacred days, Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is celebrated for four consecutive days. It is called the Festival of Sacrifice because it commemorates the story of Prophet Abraham and his son, who was replaced by a ram to sacrifice. The occasion is marked by Muslims all around the world — not just the ones performing Hajj — sacrificing a ram or similar livestock animal such as cattle or camel.

In this roundup of Eid al-Adha wishes, we've included options for loved ones embarking on Hajj, as well as religious and celebratory quotes for Eid al-Adha. Share them with your spouse, family, friends, and kids to put a smile on their face for Eid al-Adha.
