    Muslims throughout Nepal came together on Saturday to celebrate Bakr Eid, also known as Eid al-Adha—one of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar. The festival was marked by early morning prayers, community events, and acts of faith.

    At the Kashmiri Mosque in Ghantaghar, hundreds of devotees gathered for the special Eid prayer, also known as the Eid namaz. From early morning, worshippers arrived dressed in traditional attire, filling the mosque’s courtyard and surrounding open spaces. As the prayer began, they stood shoulder to shoulder, bowing and reciting verses in unison.

    This collective act of worship showcased the deep spiritual connection and sense of unity among Nepal’s Muslim community. The peaceful gathering reflected the festival’s core values of faith, sacrifice, and togetherness.

    Bakr Eid honors the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command. In remembrance of this, Muslims around the world perform the qurbani, or ritual animal sacrifice. The meat is shared among family, neighbors, and those in need, highlighting the festival’s message of giving and compassion.

    In Kathmandu and other cities, families visited one another after the prayers, exchanging greetings and festive meals. Special dishes, including rice, meat curries, and sweets, were prepared in homes to mark the occasion.

    Local mosques also served as centers of community activity, with many organizing charity drives and food distribution to help the underprivileged take part in the celebrations.

    While Bakr Eid is a religious occasion, it also plays a social role, strengthening ties among families and communities. In many areas, people from other faiths joined their Muslim neighbors in the celebrations, reflecting Nepal’s culture of religious harmony.

    Police and local authorities worked to ensure a peaceful and smooth observance of the festival. No incidents were reported, and worshippers expressed gratitude for the safe environment in which they could pray and gather.

    Nepal is home to a diverse population, with Muslims forming a significant minority. In places like Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Nepalgunj, and Kapilvastu, large Eid gatherings are a common sight during this time of year.

    The celebration of Bakr Eid continues over several days. During this period, Muslims also focus on charitable acts, helping those in need, and spending time with loved ones.

    This year’s observance of Bakr Eid in Nepal highlighted not only the religious devotion of the Muslim community but also the country’s broader tradition of cultural respect and peaceful coexistence.

    As the celebrations continue, many hope that the spirit of unity seen at places like the Kashmiri Mosque will spread even further—bringing people closer across faiths, cultures, and regions.
