Eid al-Adha will be celebrated by thousands of Black Country Muslims tomorrow, joining millions of other worshippers around the world.

Also known as the ‘Feast of the Sacrifice,' for millions around the world, the festival was marked by Eid prayers as mosques got ready the celebrations. With the first Eid prayer, taking place in the UK at 6am, on May 27, the second Eid prayer was scheduled to take place at 10.30am, with speeches starting at 9.45am, with every Muslim community will celebrate in their own way.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre is preparing to welcome its guests during the Eid Al Adha holiday in an atmosphere that revives the blessed spirit of the occasion and spreads joy among all visitors, amid the expected influx of worshippers attending Eid prayers and daily prayers, as well as visitors from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

To mark the occasion, the Centre is offering a wide range of cultural programmes and immersive experiences designed to enrich visitors’ journeys through the mosque. The Centre’s preparations reflect the highest levels of readiness through a fully integrated operational system that ensures a seamless, comfortable, and secure experience, facilitating smooth movement and easy access while delivering a comprehensive package of services and experiences aligned with the objectives of the “Year of Community,” further reinforcing the mosque’s standing as a global religious and cultural landmark.

In Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, and at the heart of festivities are the Eid Takbeerat, long associated with the spirit and happiness of Eid for both young and old, resonating throughout the mosque, the Peace Dome, and “Souq Al Jami” during the holiday period. At the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre it prepared a comprehensive programme for Eid Al Adha celebrations, including Eid prayers, continuous broadcasting of Eid Takbeerat across the mosque precincts, cultural tours, and exceptional experiences at Souq Al Jami.

Saying “Eid Mubarak” is a way to convey good wishes, happiness, and blessings to family, friends, and the community.  In addition to “Eid Mubarak,” Muslims may also use other greetings such as “Kul ‘am wa antum bikhair” (Wishing you goodness every year), or “Eid Sa’id” (Happy Eid), each carrying a similar message of good-will and celebration. 

For all celebrating Eid al-Adha, Eid al Eidukum Mubarak, wa Taqabbal Taa’atakum (wishing you a blessed Eid and acceptance of your acts of worship).
