Tap for Eid Mubarak

Eidal-Adha

The festival of sacrifice — and of sharing what you have in three parts.

Rows of people standing shoulder to shoulder in Eid prayer

One part kept, one part given, one part carried to a stranger's door. May you never hold so tight that you forget the other two. Eid Mubarak! 🕌

Eid al-Adha wishes with name, in one paragraph

By IndianWishes ·

A Eid al-Adha wish with your name on it is an ordinary greeting card with one thing changed: it says who sent it. Type your name on this page and you get a card that opens with “Asha is wishing you Eid Mubarak” instead of a forward from nobody in particular. It is free, takes about ten seconds, and there is nothing to sign up for.

What Eid al-Adha celebrated

Eid al-Adha marks Ibrahim's readiness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God, and the ram given in his place. It falls during the Hajj, and its defining act is dividing what you have into three parts.

When Eid al-Adha falls

The tenth of Dhu al-Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar, about seventy days after Eid al-Fitr.

Most Indian festivals follow a lunar calendar, so the date moves against the Gregorian one each year. For the official dates, the Government of India holiday calendar is the one to check.

How Eid al-Adha is celebrated

  • The Eid prayer in the morning, before anything else
  • Qurbani — the sacrifice, its meat divided in three: family, relatives, those in need
  • Visiting relatives and neighbours through the day
  • Coinciding with the Hajj pilgrimage at Mecca

Kept by Muslims worldwide. Known as Bakrid across much of India.

What people say

Eid Mubarak.

Putting your name on it

  2. Tap GO. Your card opens with your name at the top, on artwork drawn for Eid al-Adha specifically.
  3. Share it. One tap hands it to WhatsApp with the message already written. Whoever opens it lands on this same page with their own name box waiting, so it carries on down the family group without anyone installing anything.

Straight answers

Why is Eid al-Adha called the festival of sacrifice?
It commemorates Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son at God's command, and the ram provided instead. The qurbani re-enacts that substitution.
How is the qurbani meat divided?
Traditionally into three equal parts: one kept by the household, one for relatives and friends, and one for those in need. The third share is the part that gives the day its character.
What is the connection to the Hajj?
Eid al-Adha falls on the tenth of Dhu al-Hijjah, while pilgrims are performing the Hajj at Mecca. Those not on pilgrimage keep the day at home.
How do I send a Eid al-Adha wish with my name on it?
Type your name in the box on this page and tap GO. You get a card that opens with your name on it, and a button that hands the whole thing to WhatsApp. It is free, and there is nothing to sign up for.
Is this Eid al-Adha greeting really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no upgrade prompt and nothing to install. Your name travels inside the link rather than being stored anywhere.
