The eagerly awaited time of the year is upon us! Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the Feast of the Sacrifice, is being celebrated. While Saudi Arabia and several other countries marked their Eid yesterday, Pakistanis will observe the first day of Eid today.
Eid-ul-Adha is a moment for contemplation, sacrifice, prayers, and community service, traditionally initiated with the morning prayer. Special Eid dishes like biryani and sheer korma are lovingly prepared at home to be enjoyed with friends and family.
This Eid presents a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with family and spend quality time together at home. Here are a few suggestions to make the most of this auspicious day.

Consider organising a cozy BBQ in your backyard for an extra touch of warmth and celebration.
Get some sleep:
