Eid Mubarak – Eid al-Adha is Friday, June 6! Join Us at the Blaisdell Center
Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters!
InshaAllah this message finds you in the best of health and strongest Iman.
Eid Mubarak! We are pleased to announce that Eid al-Adha will be on Friday, June 6, 2025, InshaAllah.
Alhamdulillah, We’re pleased to share that volunteers and others form the community successfully sighted the moon this evening here in Hawai‘i, confirming the start of Dhul Ḥijjah. This local sighting is in harmony with global reports and aligns with both traditional Islamic practice and astronomical data. As a result, the Day of ʿArafah will fall on Thursday, June 5, and Eid al-Adha will be celebrated on Friday, June 6, in unison with the majority of the Muslim world and communities across the United States.
These sacred days are a time of mercy, worship, and celebration. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days (of Dhul Ḥijjah).”
(Saḥīḥ al-Bukhārī)
We encourage all who are able to fast on the Day of ʿArafah—Thursday, June 5—about which the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Fasting the Day of ʿArafah expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year.”
(Saḥīḥ Muslim)

Allah reminds us in the Qur’an:
“That they may witness benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allah on known days…”
(Sūrat al-Ḥajj, 22:28)
And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“The Day of ʿArafah, the Day of Sacrifice, and the Days of Tashrīq are our festival, the people of Islam, and they are days of eating and drinking.”
(Sunan al-Tirmidhī)
Please mark your calendars, invite your loved ones, and come celebrate with your community. May this Eid bring us all renewed faith, deeper unity, and lasting joy.
