Before we get into the main purpose of this article, our legal professionals from S & S lawyers would like to take this chance to greet you and your family “Eid Mubarak!” may the rest of the year be filled with blessings and joy from Allah.
Ramadan ended with a big celebration for Eid Al Fitr, we celebrated this big holiday with our loved ones, had the rest we all deserved and had more time to be closer with Allah and at the same time show kindness and patience as this time of fasting encouraged our spiritual reflection to be stronger than ever.
However, it seems like the holiday didn’t feel long enough with the recent celebration of Eid Al Fitr because the next holidays are already being anticipated in the UAE, with astronomers predicting the first day of Eid al-adha most likely falling on 17th of June which will only be the case if the prediction of Arafat Day falling on the 16th of June is a correct estimation from the Emirates Astronomy Society. The day of Arafat marks the day Prophet Muhammad PBUH delivered a farewell sermon on Mount Arafat.
According to Ibrahim Al Jarwan, the chairman of the Emirates Astronomy Society, it is most likely that Thursday, 20th June will be the end of Tashriq and the end of Hajj season.
There are two Eids (Celebration of festivals) in Islam: Eid Al Fitr, which marks the completion of the Holy month of Ramadan and Eid Al Adha which is the greeter Eid and follows the completion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, at the time of Qurbani (sacrifice).
