Eid ul-Adha ki Niyat
Eid ul-Adha ki Niyat: In Islam, “Niyat” means intention — the purpose in your heart for performing any act of worship. For Eid ul-Adha, the niyat refers to the heartfelt intention behind performing the Qurbani (sacrifice).
When offering a sacrifice, the niyat is to sincerely dedicate the act to Allah, following the example of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.), who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command.

Eid al-Adha is the second Islamic festival of the year and follows Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. The date changes every year, as it’s based on the Islamic lunar calendar, which is about 11 days shorter than the Western 365-day Gregorian calendar. It is celebrated as a commemoration of Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice everything for God.
