Eid al-Adha in Auckland: Dates, meaning, traditions and events

Bernadette Basagre Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, the Muslim community is set to celebrate the second religious holiday of the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha, later this month.

The celebration will fall on July 21 according to the new moon sighting last Sunday.

Eid al-Adha is a holy celebration meaning “feast of the sacrifice”, marking the end of Hajj, an annual religious pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia following the footsteps of the prophet Abraham.

Eden Park will host festivities this year, with an expected turnout of 10,000 people for a day of fun activities and food stalls for everyone.

Read the full story explaining the special holiday at the link below.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
