The Summer Solstice Impact
The longest day of the year can bring energy—or anxiety. Here's how the abundance of daylight around the summer solstice can affect your brain and body.
On Eid al-Adha, Muslims demonstrate their obedience to Allah by sacrificing an animal. The holiday is inspired by a story from the Quran that is also known to Christians and Jews.
Is Eid al-Adha a Public Holiday?
Eid al-Adha is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.
In 2025, it falls on a Cuma, and some businesses may choose to follow Cuma opening hours.
