Feels like just yesterday we celebrated New Years, and all of a sudden, it’s June? Eid al Adha 2024, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice," is a significant event in the Islamic calendar and it’s coming REALLY soon.
Celebrated by millions of Muslims worldwide, this festival marks the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. This article explores the essence of Eid al Adha, how people celebrate it, and the special deals available during this festive period. We'll also focus on watch winders from Enigwatch.
Understanding Eid al Adha 2024
Eid al Adha 2024 is expected to begin on the evening of June 17th, depending on the moon sighting, and will last for three days. This festival commemorates the story of Ibrahim and his son, emphasizing themes of sacrifice, obedience, and devotion.
Muslims around the world observe this occasion by performing special prayers, giving to charity, and making animal sacrifices, which are then distributed among family, friends, and the less fortunate.

How People Celebrate Eid al Adha 2024
Festive Prayers and Gatherings
On the morning of Eid, Muslims gather in mosques or open fields to perform the special Eid prayer, which is followed by a sermon. This communal prayer is a significant part of the celebration, fostering a sense of unity and community spirit.
Sacrificial Rites
One of the central practices during Eid al Adha is the Qurbani, or sacrificial rite. Families that can afford it will sacrifice an animal, usually a sheep, goat, or cow, to honor the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son. The meat from the sacrifice is divided into three parts: one-third for the family, one-third for relatives and friends, and one-third for the needy.
Feasting and Socializing
Eid al Adha is also a time for feasting and socializing. Families prepare elaborate meals and share them with loved ones. Traditional dishes vary by region but often include rich, flavorful meats and sweets.

Keeping Your Timepieces Safe During Eid al Adha Celebrations
With the excitement and festivities of Eid al Adha, it's important to take precautions to keep your precious timepieces safe. Here are some tips:
- Store your watches in a secure location: Avoid leaving your watches unattended in crowded areas, especially during gatherings. It's best to keep them in a safe place at home or in a hotel room.
- Invest in a watch winder: If you have automatic watches, consider using a watch winder from Enigwatch. A watch winder keeps your watch's movement running smoothly even if you're not wearing it regularly. This is especially important during Eid al Adha, when you might be wearing your watch less often due to travel.
- Be mindful of spills and splashes: Food and drinks can damage your watch, so be extra careful during. If you do get your watch wet, dry it off immediately with a soft cloth.
- Take them off before strenuous activities: If you're planning on participating in any strenuous activities during Eid al Adha, such as playing sports or going on an adventure, it's best to take your watch off beforehand. This will help to prevent accidental damage.
