Looking for the right Eid ul Adha quotes, wishes and messages to send this year? You will find 150+ ready-to-share lines below, sorted by who you are sending them to, plus the exact greeting the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ used on Eid.
Looking for Eid ul Adha quotes copy paste? Every message on this page is ready to use. Copy the one you like and paste it into WhatsApp, a card or a caption.
Every year my family WhatsApp group fills up with the same forwarded image by the morning of Eid. Nobody remembers who sent it first, and nobody really reads it. A short message written with a person in mind does more than ten forwards. That is why this list is split by relationship: parents, spouse, friends, colleagues, someone on Hajj, someone grieving, and family living abroad.
Eid ul Adha 2027 is expected on Sunday, 16 May 2027 in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, and around Monday, 17 May 2027 in Pakistan and South Asia, subject to moon sighting.

Ready-to-share version: “Neither the meat nor the blood reaches Allah; only our sincerity does (Quran 22:37). May He accept yours this Eid. Eid ul Adha Mubarak.”
Taqabbal Allahu Minna wa Minkum: The Sunnah Eid Greeting
The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ greeted each other on Eid by saying “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum”, meaning “May Allah accept from us and from you.” Ibn Hajar reported this in Fath al-Bari through Jubayr ibn Nufayr and graded the chain as good (hasan).
- Arabic: تَقَبَّلَ اللهُ مِنَّا وَمِنْكُمْ
- Pronunciation: ta-qab-ba-lal-laa-hu min-naa wa min-kum
- The usual reply: “Minna wa minkum” or “Wa minkum” (and from you too)
Most wish lists skip this, yet it is the one greeting with roots in the practice of the Sahaba. Add it before “Eid Mubarak” and your message instantly feels more thoughtful:
- “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum. Eid ul Adha Mubarak to you and your family.”
- “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum. May your Qurbani and your duas of Arafah be accepted.”

Messages for Hujjaj and Families of Pilgrims
If someone you know is on Hajj this year, Eid is the day they finish the most demanding part of the journey. A message that mentions their Hajj (paired with a safe travel dua for their journey home) means far more than a generic Eid Mubarak.
Before or during Hajj:
- May Allah make your Hajj easy, accept every step you take, and bring you home safely. Please remember us at Arafah.
- You are standing where Ibrahim (AS) and Hajar (AS) stood. May Allah accept you as He accepted them.
On Eid, to the Haji:
- Hajj Mabroor wa Sa’yun Mashkoor! May your Hajj be accepted and your effort rewarded. Eid Mubarak from home.
- Eid Mubarak, Haji sahib! You return like the day you were born, insha’Allah. Don’t forget the Zamzam.
To their family at home:
- Eid Mubarak! May Allah accept [name]’s Hajj and bring them back to you safe and healthy.
Eid Messages for Someone Who Is Grieving
The first Eid after losing someone is often the hardest day of the year. A quiet, honest message is better than a cheerful one. For more gentle wording, see our Islamic condolence messages and dua.
- I know this Eid feels different without [name]. I’m making dua for them today, and for you. No need to reply.
- Eid Mubarak, gently. May Allah fill the empty seat at your table with mercy and patience.
- Thinking of you and your family this Eid. May Allah grant [name] the highest place in Jannah.
- If today is heavy, that’s okay. I’m here if you want to talk, or just sit together.
Tip: Avoid “stay strong” or “be happy, it’s Eid.” Naming the person you lost shows you remember them too.
Eid Wishes for Family Living Abroad
Millions of Pakistanis spend Eid ul Adha away from home in the Gulf, UK, Canada and beyond. These lines are for them, and from them.
To family overseas:
- The kaleji tasted incomplete without you. Eid Mubarak from home, we saved you a seat.
- Different time zones, same takbeer. Eid ul Adha Mubarak, bhai.
- May Allah reward your sacrifice of being away from us for our sake. Eid Mubarak.
From overseas to family at home:

Qurbani Day Messages: Sending and Receiving Meat
Sharing meat is part of the Sunnah, and a short Eid ul Adha message with the portion makes it personal. Nobody else covers these.
When sending meat to neighbors or relatives:
- Eid Mubarak! A small share from our Qurbani. May Allah accept it from us and from you.
- From our home to yours, with love and duas. Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum.
Thank-you messages when you receive meat:
- JazakAllahu khairan for remembering us. May Allah accept your Qurbani and increase your rizq.
- Thank you for the share. May Allah put barakah in your home as you put it in ours.
If you donated your Qurbani abroad:
- Our Qurbani reached a family in [country] this year. Alhamdulillah. Eid Mubarak to everyone who made it possible.
Eid ul Adha Wishes for Reverts and Non-Muslim Friends
New Muslims often spend Eid without a big family around them. And many non-Muslim colleagues want to wish correctly but aren’t sure what to say.
For a revert (new Muslim):
- Your first Eid ul Adha! May Allah keep you firm and surround you with good people. You have a family here; come over for lunch.
- Eid Mubarak, brother. Ibrahim (AS) left everything for Allah too. You are in very good company.
What non-Muslim friends and colleagues can say:
| Situation | Simple greeting |
|---|---|
| Text or card | “Eid Mubarak! Wishing you and your family a wonderful celebration.” |
| In person | “Eid Mubarak” (meaning “blessed Eid”) |
| Formal email | “Warm wishes to you and your family on Eid al-Adha.” |
How to Reply to Eid ul Adha Wishes
The simplest reply is “Khair Mubarak” (may goodness be blessed for you too) or the Sunnah reply “Wa minkum”. Then add one personal line so the reply doesn’t feel automatic.
| If they said | You can reply |
|---|---|
| Eid Mubarak | Khair Mubarak! Eid Mubarak to you and your family too. |
| Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum | Minna wa minkum. Eid Mubarak! |
| A long heartfelt message | JazakAllah khair, that made my day. May Allah accept from all of us. |
| A colleague or client | Thank you so much. Wishing you a blessed Eid as well. |
| A forwarded image | Khair Mubarak! Hope you’re enjoying the day with family. |
How to Write a Personal Eid Message in 30 Seconds
To write Eid ul Adha wishes of your own, use a three-part formula: greeting + one specific detail + one dua. The specific detail is what makes a message feel human.
| Part | Example |
|---|---|
| 1. Greeting | “Eid ul Adha Mubarak, Khala!” |
| 2. Specific detail | “I still remember your nihari from last Eid.” |
| 3. Dua | “May Allah keep you healthy and accept your Qurbani.” |
Put together: “Eid ul Adha Mubarak, Khala! I still remember your nihari from last Eid. May Allah keep you healthy and accept your Qurbani.” That takes 30 seconds and will be remembered longer than any forwarded GIF.
Quotes to Avoid Sharing: A Quick Authenticity Check
Every Eid, some “hadith” images spread fast without any reference. Sharing words in the Prophet’s ﷺ name without checking is a serious matter, so run this quick check before you forward.
- No reference given? Search it on sunnah.com before sharing.
- Specific rewards with exact numbers (for example, a reward for every hair of the animal): some of these narrations are classed as weak by hadith scholars. Share them with their grading, or not at all.
- “Forward to 10 people” chains: these are not part of Islam. Skip them.
- Quran verses: check the surah and ayah number on quran.com.
Every Islamic quote in this article includes its source so you can verify it yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Eid ul Adha greeting?
The greeting with the strongest roots is “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum” (May Allah accept from us and from you), used by the Companions on Eid. “Eid Mubarak” and “Eid ul Adha Mubarak” are also widely used and perfectly fine. Many people combine both in one message.
How do you reply to Eid Mubarak?
The common reply is “Khair Mubarak,” meaning may goodness be blessed for you too. If someone says “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum,” reply with “Minna wa minkum” or simply “Wa minkum.” Adding a short personal line makes the reply warmer.
When is Eid ul Adha 2027?
Eid ul Adha 2027 is expected on Sunday, 16 May 2027 in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and around Monday, 17 May 2027 in Pakistan. The exact date depends on the sighting of the Dhul Hijjah crescent and is confirmed by local authorities.
What is the difference between Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha wishes?
Eid ul Fitr wishes focus on completing Ramadan and fasting (see our Eid Mubarak wishes for both Eids). Eid ul Adha wishes focus on sacrifice, Hajj, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the acceptance of Qurbani. Mentioning Qurbani or Hajj makes your Adha message feel specific to the occasion.
Can non-Muslims say Eid Mubarak?
Yes. Muslims generally appreciate it when non-Muslim friends and colleagues say “Eid Mubarak” or “Happy Eid.” A short written wish such as “Wishing you and your family a blessed Eid al-Adha” is respectful and suitable for work.
Is it Eid ul Adha or Eid al-Adha?
Both are correct transliterations of the same Arabic name. “Eid ul Adha” is more common in Pakistan and India, while “Eid al-Adha” is common in the Middle East and Western media. In Pakistan it is also called Bakra Eid or Eid ul Azha.
Final Thoughts
The best Eid ul Adha message is the one that sounds like you. Pick a line from this list, add one detail only that person would recognize, and close with a dua. That small effort turns a forward into a memory.
May Allah accept your Qurbani, your fasts of Arafah and your duas. Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum, and Eid ul Adha Mubarak.
