Eid al-Adha 2025

A Festival of Sacrifice and Solidarity

Eid al-Adha 2025, expected to be celebrated around June 7–8, 2025 (subject to moon sighting), marks one of the most sacred and meaningful Islamic festivals observed worldwide. Also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, this occasion commemorates the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son for the sake of Allah. In return, Allah provided a ram for sacrifice—symbolizing obedience, submission, and divine mercy.

For millions of Muslims in Pakistan and around the world, Eid al-Adha is more than just a religious event—it’s a time of compassion, sharing, and social responsibility. At Shad Foundation, we believe that this spiritual essence must also translate into actionable kindness, especially towards those who struggle with poverty, hunger, and exclusion.

The Meaning Behind Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha teaches us three core values:

1. Faith – trusting in Allah’s plan.
2. Sacrifice – giving up something valuable for the greater good.
3. Sharing – ensuring that no one is left out of joy or sustenance.

This holy festival reminds Muslims to look beyond personal celebration and toward community empowerment, where zabiha (sacrifice) becomes a means to nourish the poor and bring people together in unity and empathy.

Eid al-Adha 2025 in Pakistan: A Time to Reconnect and Reflect

With Pakistan facing challenges like economic uncertainty, food insecurity, and a rising number of underserved communities, Eid al-Adha 2025 provides a powerful opportunity for NGOs, donors, and citizens to reflect on how their Qurbani can go beyond tradition and impact lives meaningfully.

While the act of animal sacrifice fulfills religious obligations, it also holds the potential to:

• Combat hunger in remote regions
• Bring joy to orphaned children and widows
• Create inclusive Eid celebrations
• Reinforce the importance of sustainable charity

Shad Foundation’s Eid Initiative: Qurbani with Purpose

Every year, Shad Foundation launches a dedicated Eid al-Adha campaign to support underprivileged communities in Upper Chitral, Gilgit-Baltistan, and rural Pakistan. The program includes:

Organized Qurbani drives in remote areas
Meat distribution to families below the poverty line
Eid kits with clothes and essentials for children
Health and hygiene awareness during the festivities
Community Eid gatherings to promote social inclusion

In 2024, Shad Foundation’s Eid campaign reached over 2,000 households across five districts. For Eid al-Adha 2025, we aim to expand our reach to 3,500+ families, especially in areas affected by climate vulnerability, displacement, or food shortages.

Why Partner with Shad Foundation for Eid al-Adha 2025?

Here’s why your Qurbani donation or volunteer support matters when channeled through a trusted nonprofit like Shad Foundation:

• Transparent and Sharia-compliant animal sourcing and slaughter
• Equitable distribution to neglected regions and deserving families
• Zero waste model with eco-conscious packaging and delivery
• Inclusive celebrations for orphans, adolescents, and marginalized youth
• Post-Eid engagement with health, education, and wellbeing programs

Your donation becomes more than a ritual—it becomes a catalyst for long-term change.

Stories of Impact: From Sacrifice to Smiles

Last year in Chapali, Upper Chitral, 14-year-old Sana Bibi, whose family had never experienced a full Eid meal, received meat, clothes, and Eid treats through our Qurbani drive. Her mother, a widow, expressed that it was the first Eid her children felt truly included.

Dozens of such stories reinforce our belief that Qurbani can bring hope when done with the right intention and planning.
