Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the holiest celebrations in Islam and commemorates the story of the obedience and sacrifice of the Prophet Ibrahim.

Muslims in Waterloo and around the world mark this sacred holiday by gathering with friends and family to pray, share meals and care for those in need.

For some, Eid al-Adha also marks the end of Hajj — the pilgrimage to Mecca and one of the five pillars of Islam.

Whether you’re returning from this sacred journey or celebrating with family and friends, may the spirit of Eid al-Adha bring joy, peace and unity to your hearts and homes.

Eid Mubarak!
