The third day of Hajj, which falls on the 10th of Dhul-Hijja, the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar, is Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of the Sacrifice.
Eid al-Adha, which marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, is celebrated roughly 70 days after Eid al-Fitr, the second major festival in the Islamic calendar.
Eid al-Adha occurs when?
Saudi Arabia and its neighbors will mark Eid al-Adha on June 6, while some other nations will observe it on June 7.
Around 25% of the world’s population is made up of Muslims, or 1.9 billion of them. With 230 million Muslims living in Indonesia, the country has the highest Muslim population in the world. India, Bangladesh, Bangladesh, and Nigeria are the only countries with 212 million Muslims, followed by Pakistan (200 million), Bangladesh (150 million), and Nigeria (100 million).
What takes place during Eid al-Adha?
Muslims make preparations for Eid al-Adha by buying new clothes, buying new clothes, and cooking special meals ahead of the holiday.
Those who have money are required to give an animal, typically a sheep, goat, cow, or camel, as a sacrifice on Eid, and give some of the meat to those who are less fortunate. In order to obediently serve God, the Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) offered his son Ishmail (Ismael) as a sacrifice.
The family and friends who visit during the holiday also engage in family exchanges and celebrations.
On the first day of the Eid al-Adha feast, Palestinians gather in Jerusalem’s Old City to celebrate alongside Muslims from around the world.
Different languages’ Eid greetings
Eid Mubarak is the most widely greeted holiday. The phrase “blessed Eid” is a proverb from Arabic.
How is Eid Mubarak sung in various languages around the world?

The colourful frock is made with a flowing skirt that ends in a tiered hem, along with a patchwork print for a statement look. While one reviewer was impressed its ‘lovely light material’, another wasn’t happy with the ‘quite low cut’ of the dress.

After posting a snap herself wearing Boden’s Faye dress to Instagram, Susanna’s followers heaped praise on her ensemble. One commented: “I knew it was Boden! Love it, looks fab on you,” while another said: “The dress did its magic—stunning.”
“Absolutely gorgeous,” wrote a third, but someone else felt differently, adding: “horrible dress.”
Over on Boden’s website, only one review has been left for the Faye dress. The five-star comment reads: “The sizing is more generous than I expected. I used to wear a US 6 (when I was 5’4″ and 115 lbs) but this US 4 (now that I’m a tad shorter and 10 pounds heavier) had plenty of room. I hope it will wash well and that the colours stay vibrant and don’t run together.”
Betfred Men’s Challenge Cup final – Warrington Wolves v Hull KR
The Challenge Cup makes its return to the capital with three games taking place under the Wembley arch on a glorious day of rugby league.
After the curtain is brought down on this season’s women’s competition, the men take to the field as Warrington Wolves face Hull KR.
But will Sam Burgess win his first trophy as a head coach and lead Warrington to a 10th victory in the competition?
Or will Super League leaders Hull KR continue their ascent into the echelons of northern hemisphere rugby league with a first Challenge Cup in almost half a century?

“I try not to get caught up in the fantasy land stuff. I just stay in the moment. We know the challenge in front of us and we know they’re a good side. We’ve got to work on getting a good performance out.
“If you ask me that question after the game, I might give you a different answer. For now I’ll just stay in the present moment.”
It is fair to say that Burgess is not losing sleep over the fact he has a winless record as a player and coach at Wembley.
Warrington were on the losing side under Burgess in last season’s final, as they were defeated by eventual quadruple winners Wigan Warriors.
Meanwhile as a player, Burgess started for England in their losing 2013 Rugby League World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.
Burgess said he has learned a lot from his 18 months as a head coach, including plenty from his most recent experience at the national stadium.
“There were a couple of things I got, I wouldn’t say wrong, but we could have been better in a few areas. It won’t happen twice in a row with those things,” he said.

For Willie Peters’ Hull KR, the sky is the limit, having dazzled in Super League this season.
Peters has led his side to the Challenge Cup final for the second time in three seasons but has been on the losing side in both the 2023 final and last season’s Super League Grand Final.
He said that his side have had a difficult time maintaining their impressive form having set up Saturday’s trip to Wembley almost a month ago.
“It’s a difficult period for the players because there’s no doubt they would have been thinking about this game three weeks ago,” Peters told BBC Sport.
“But where I can see the growth in the side is that they are able to put it aside and go after each Super League game, because any team that plays us knows they have to play well, but they are also going after us to beat us because we are at the top of the table at the moment.
“We know that every team is going to come to try to knock us off.”
Hull KR have lost only once in all competitions this season – against Wigan in Super League – but have still set the pace among their rivals this term.
But Peters knows that it would prove that his side have broken into the top tier of clubs in Super League if they were able to turn their form into winning a trophy.
“So what the players have done in being able to handle what goes into it and around a Challenge Cup final and putting it aside, they’ve done a remarkable job because it can be difficult,” he added.
Hull KR’s most recent triumph in the Challenge Cup came in 1980 when they beat city rivals Hull FC in a narrow 10-5 affair at Wembley.
Now, a new generation of Robins players stand on the cusp of adding a second Challenge Cup final victory to their history.
Second-rower James Batchelor started for the Robins in their most recent Challenge Cup final in 2023 but was on the losing side against Leigh Leopards that day.
He moved to KR from Wakefield Trinity ahead of the 2023 season and believes his career has prospered since leaving his hometown club.
“I made a decision that I thought would help me grow as a player, as tough as that decision was, and I feel vindicated in that now,” Batchelor told BBC Sport.
“Moving away from my home town I’ve definitely grown as a person, and the faith that Willie has put in me in all that time has helped me grow as a player as well.”
As for the prestige of playing at Wembley, Batchelor said that the sheen of taking to the field loses its lustre if you cannot bring home the win.
“Yes, Wembley has a lot of history behind it but if you don’t get the win it doesn’t really matter and you’re not too bothered about where you’ve played,” he added.
Team news
Unsurprisingly, Warrington Wolves name captain George Williams in their squad after he declared his fitness earlier this week.
Captain Wendie Renard and all-time leading goalscorer Eugenie Le Sommer have been left out of France’s 23-player squad for next month’s Euro 2025 in Switzerland.
France, who are looking to win a major tournament for the first time, will face England in their Euro 2025 opener on 5 July, 20: 00 BST.
Neither Renard, 34, or Le Sommer, 36, were selected for their Women’s Nations League victories over Switzerland and Iceland in the past week – decisions manager Laurent Bonadei said were “not made in the spur of the moment”.
Centre-back Renard, who has played 168 times for France since making her international debut in 2011, missed three of the past four internationals because of injury.
Grace Geyoro, Sakina Karchaoui, Sandie Toletti, Pauline Peyraud-Magnin and Mbock are among those who have worn the captain’s armband in Renard’s absence.
Le Sommer, who has scored a record 94 goals in 200 appearances for France, featured for just 27 minutes of those games, and was due to be honoured last week before the victory over Switzerland in Nancy.
After omitting Renard and Le Sommer from his Nations League squad last month, Bonadei said: “As Einstein said: ‘ Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. ‘ I want different results for this team so I have gone with a different selection.
” It’s something I’ve been thinking about since the start of the season.
“When I announced that everyone had a chance, that no one was indispensable, in my mind it wasn’t just about giving young players a chance but also players who had suffered psychologically after the Olympic Games and making sure that everyone was involved”.
France were beaten 1-0 by eventual silver medallists Brazil in the quarter-finals of their home Olympics.
The squad features four Women’s Super League players – Chelsea duo Sandy Baltimore and Oriane Jean-Francois, Kelly Gago of Everton and Manchester United’s Melvine Malard.
After completing the acquisition of the UK’s oldest ice hockey club, a North American company has pledged to “restore the pride, energy, and identity” of the Fife Flyers.
Max Birbraer, a former Cardiff Devils and Israel forward, has assumed the role of the Flyers’ new president and general manager after leading the acquisition process.
The organization claims to be on the verge of appointing a new head coach and will update its members as they work toward “a competitive and committed roster.”
The Kirkcaldy side, which was founded in 1938, finished last season at the bottom of the Elite Hockey on ice League (EIHL).
The Fife Flyers have officially opened a new chapter, the club announced in a statement.
A North American company has funded and installed a new management team under the direction of Cardiff Devils legend Max Birbraer. The hard work is now complete, and the transition is complete.
“It is a pleasure to be the head coach of the oldest and most renowned hockey team in the United Kingdom. On and off the ice, our goal is simple: to restore the spirit, pride, and identity of Fife Flyers hockey.
It’s a people’s club, they say. Scottish hockey’s heartbeat is fueled solely by its supporters, who are its backers. Everything we do will depend on your commitment, voice, and passion.
Liam Gallagher has posed with three of his children for a mega Burberry advert just weeks before he’s due to hit the road with Oasis, and it’s a fitting campaign

Liam Gallagher’s kids are a chip off the old block as they perfected his moody glare for a fitting Burberry campaign. The Oasis frontman joined forces with his three oldest children, Molly Moorish-Gallagher, 27, and sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 23, for the photoshoot.
The hitmaker and his children are fronting Burberry’s Festival campaign ahead of a summer of live music – including Oasis’ hotly anticipated reunion tour. Next month Liam and his older brother Noel will take to the stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium – 16 years after the band split.
It’s claimed that Liam, 52, has signed a staggering £1million with the global fashion brand for their collection, which pays homage to British identities and live music. Posing in front of a motorhome, Liam and his children all modelled waterproofs from the collection – and it’s no surprise he was wearing his signature Parka coat.

Meanwhile, daughter Molly exuded festival glamour and style in a similar parka and a pair of matching wellies. Eldest son Lennon, lead singer of the band Automotive, rocked a classic Burberry tartan rainmac and shorts, and despite the collection being for a festival, opted for a more modest pair of trainers and black socks.
Gene, who fronts the band Villanelle, kept his look very relaxed but stylish in a striking green jacket, which he completed with a more suiting pair of black trousers and boots. Although the collection was originally released in the summer of 2018, Liam’s Christopher Bailey-designed jacket is being re-released this July ahead of Oasis’s widely anticipated return.

Lennon’s look bears a striking similarity to his dad in the 1995 music video for Oasis’s mega-anthem, Wonderwall. The campaign echoes Burberry as the go-to look at festivals, with the likes of Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Reading and Leeds coming up in the next few months.
“Burberry sits at the centre of the summer calendar,” said Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee. He added: “It’s both a means of creative expression and a go-to uniform for festival goers.”
Liam has previously been branded the double of his famous dad(Image: Burberry)
Reflecting on the campaign, Lee added: “Think of the campaign like a collage. Capturing off-duty fans and headline acts in between gigs.”
With Liam and his kids fronting the campaign, alongside names such as producer and DJ Goldie, Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne, it’s certainly fit to be rolled straight out for festival season. Burberry believes the “unique casting” of the Gallaghers and Goldie reinforces the legacy and appeal of the brand.

Unfortunately for Oasis fans, they aren’t the soundtrack for the campaign. That duty has fallen to Liquid’s hit, Sweet Harmony, which has been a staple at British festivals since its release in 1991. Ahead of Oasis taking to the stage next month, fans have been wondering if there’s a future for the once-warring siblings.

When asked by a fan if they can have more dates, ideally a string of shows at Knebworth playing to 125,000 people, Liam replied: “Let’s see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it.”
When asked by the Mirror how rehearsals are going, Liam told us: “Dangerous.” Meanwhile, videos have circulated on social media, with audio clips of the band apparently rehearsing the anthems Cigarettes & Alcohol and Fade Away. He told fans that it was his idea to have both songs on the setlist for the most anticipated tour.
