The federal government of Pakistan has officially announced Eid holidays for Eid ul Adha, giving citizens a four-day long break starting from Friday, June 6 to Monday, June 9, 2025. This much-anticipated notification comes as people across the country prepare for the sacred Islamic festival that honors sacrifice, faith, and community.
This year, the holiday applies to both public and private offices, including those that follow a five-day or six-day work schedule. That means whether you work in the public sector or a private company, you’re getting the same well-deserved time off to celebrate with your loved ones.
Eid ul Adha, known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son for the sake of Allah. Muslims around the country perform Qurbani (sacrifice of animals) and distribute the meat among family, friends, and those in need.
With Eid falling on a weekend, the four-day break offers the perfect opportunity for people to travel to their hometowns, visit relatives, or simply relax after the Qurbani preparations. Major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad are already seeing a surge in bookings for buses and trains as families plan their festive journeys.
