On Monday, people continued to offer animal sacrifices and join in celebrations as the third day of Eid ul Adha unfolded with enthusiasm and devotion.
Muslims are observing Eid ul Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, with a deep religious spirit, honoring the profound act of devotion shown by Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) and his son Hazrat Ismael (AS).
Across the country, believers are performing sacrifices in remembrance of Sunnat-e Ibrahimi, a tradition symbolizing obedience and faith.
To manage the occasion smoothly, municipal authorities in various cities and towns have been on high alert, putting special plans in place to collect and dispose of animal remains and offal during the three-day Eid celebration.
However, not all areas have seen efficient cleanup efforts. Some neighborhoods in Karachi have reported that sanitation workers failed to clear offal in a timely manner, creating unpleasant and unhygienic conditions for residents.
Eid ul Adha is one of the two major Islamic festivals, observed to remember Prophet Ibrahim’s readiness to sacrifice his son for God’s command.
A key part of the tradition involves the slaughter of animals, with the meat distributed among family, friends, and those in need.
Local mosques and charitable groups have remained actively involved, arranging meat distribution campaigns to ensure that less fortunate families can also share in the celebration.
Meanwhile, public spaces such as parks and recreational areas are bustling with activity as families and individuals step out to enjoy the holiday.
Many are also spending time visiting loved ones. Children, dressed in bright and festive clothing, are especially thrilled by the celebrations.
In the evenings, rooftops and open spaces come alive with barbecue gatherings, as families and young people host special get-togethers to mark the joyous occasion.
The government had declared a four-day Eid break from Friday to Monday, allowing people ample time to take part in the religious and social aspects of the holiday.
