Therefore Friday July 31st July will become a holiday, with July 31st and August 1st being proclaimed as public holidays under the Section 25 of the Negotiable Instruments Acts.

Eid ul-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice is the most important feast in the Muslim calendar. It celebrates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ishmael in submission to Allah’s command, before he was stopped by Allah.
