Eid al-Adha customs and traditions in Qatar

The following list highlights the most prominent Eid al-Adha customs and traditions in Qatar:

  • Performing the Eid Prayer in Mosques or Open Areas: In Qatar, Eid al-Adha is ushered by a special prayer at dawn performed in mosques & select open areas. Members of the family & individuals alike wear their traditional attire & gather in large numbers for this prayer signifying the unity, faith, & spirit of sacrifice in Islam.
  • Sacrificial Slaughter (Qurbani): The central theme of this Eid is the sacrifice of an animal, such as a sheep, goat, or cow, much like that done by Prophet Ibrahim. In Qatar, families either carry out the sacrifice themselves or have it done by licensed slaughterhouses that observe the rules laid down by Islam for animal slaughter.
  • The Distribution of Meat: After foregoing the foods, the pieces of meat are divided into three parts- one for the family; one for friends & relatives; & one for the less fortunate. This giving, sharing, & tightening of community ties foster the spirit that not everybody may lust after the celebrations.
  • Traditional Dress: Qataris, as well as expatriates, dress up in their best clothes, & mostly these are freshly tailored thobes & abayas. They usually wear perfumes, with accessories too, as the day is basically meant for presenting oneself in a dignified manner to perform their prayers & to meet with their family.
  • Family Visits & Social Gatherings: Eid al-Adha is considered a period for visiting family & loved ones. People in Qatar move from one house to another exchanging greetings & gifts. These visits are often supplemented with coffee, dates, & special dishes as a way to reaffirm the strong values of family & hospitality in the country.
  • Food for Eid-Special: Local and regional favorites prepare the table for Eid; machboos: spiced rice with meat, harees, and thareed. These foods are served in generous portions, sometimes shared with neighbors and guests, firmly enforcing the notions of giving, plenty, and linking communities together.
  • Giving Eidiya (Money Gifts): Adults gift money known as Eidiya to children during Eid. This tradition serves as fun for the younger generation and leads them toward looking forward to religious celebrations. Eidiya is traditionally given either in an envelope or new banknotes.
  • Home and Street Decorations: Home cleaning and decoration are undertaken up to a bigger scale for Eid preparations. Decorating with lights, flowers, and ornaments is very prevalent among numerous families. Public spaces and streets in Qatar also don festive banners and neon lights, complementing the cheerful atmosphere.
  • Community Events and Public Celebrations: Big community programs and festivals keep the people entertained with cultural shows, attractions for children, and fireworks. Malls and parks give the best programs for families, therefore weaving together the rich traditions with present-day culture to ensure a memorable experience for expats as well as natives.
