The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah—May 28 to June 6, 2025—are the most important days of the year for worship, as the Prophet ﷺ said, “There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days” (Sahih al‑Bukhari 969). Whether you’re on Hajj or observing at home in Germany, use this time for intensified prayer, fasting, and reflection—and consider donating Iftar meals to share their blessings with those in need.
The Day of Arafah on June 5, 2025 is the climax of the Hajj pilgrimage and highly significant for Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever fasts on the Day of Arafah will have their past and future sins forgiven” (Sahih Muslim). It is the perfect time to pray, fast, and meditate together as a community.
Donate Iftar for Arafah to feed refugees and families in need.
Eid al-Adha on June 6, 2025 commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) obedience to Allah. Although kurban sacrifice cannot be performed in Germany, you can support vulnerable communities in Asia, Africa, Yemen, or refugees by sharing the spirit of sacrifice.
Consider offering your Kurban to extend the blessings beyond local borders.
Local Observance and Planning
Stay informed through your local mosques and Islamic centers in Germany, as regional moon sightings may slightly adjust these dates. Early planning is essential—whether for Hajj, fasting on the Day of Arafah, or celebrating Eid al-Adha.
May this concise guide help you navigate Dhul Hijjah 2025 in Germany with clarity and purpose. Adjust the dates as needed based on local announcements, and may your observance bring spiritual fulfillment and the joy of giving.
