Eid ul Adha 2025, one of the most sacred festivals in the Islamic calendar, was celebrated across Pakistan with devotion, unity, and cultural pride. As Pakistanis performed the Sunnah of Ibrahim (A.S) by sacrificing animals and sharing meat with the underprivileged, Pakistani politicians on Eid ul Adha 2025 also stepped out of their usual public roles to join the celebrations in personal and meaningful ways.
This year, Eid was observed on June 7, 2025, with early morning Eid prayers echoing from mosques nationwide. The atmosphere was filled with warmth, hospitality, and a sense of national solidarity. Among the citizens who opened up about their celebrations were several well-known political figures, who gave the public a rare glimpse into their family lives.
Former Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif upheld his long-standing tradition of celebrating Eid ul Adha among the people. Known for his disciplined and public-centric image, Shahbaz Sharif performed the Eid prayer in Lahore and later visited a local shelter to distribute meat among the less fortunate. His actions reflected the essence of Eid—compassion, equality, and humility.
Sharif also shared heartfelt moments with his grandchildren at home, where he participated in the sacrificial ritual alongside his family. His social media was abuzz with messages of unity and sacrifice, reinforcing his bond with the public during this festive time.
Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, daughter of former President Asif Ali Zardari, gave her followers a peek into her peaceful and intimate Eid celebration. Residing in Karachi, Bakhtawar shared endearing photos with her children, dressed in soft pastel festive wear. Her focus this Eid was on spending quality time with her family and teaching her young ones the values of sacrifice and giving.
She also posted a thoughtful message about the importance of sharing blessings, echoing her late mother Benazir Bhutto’s legacy of compassion and community care.
Azma Bokhari, a strong voice in Punjab politics, celebrated Eid ul Adha 2025 with her family in Lahore. She appeared in traditional attire and actively shared her Eid experience on social media, wishing her followers joy, peace, and prosperity.
Azma also emphasized women’s role in maintaining traditions and values within the household, encouraging women to actively engage in every aspect of Eid, from cooking special dishes to educating children about the festival’s spiritual essence.
What stood out this year was the way Pakistani politicians on Eid ul Adha 2025 connected with the public not through speeches or campaigns but through relatable family moments. Whether it was through serving food, offering charity, or simply enjoying time at home, their celebrations added to the nationwide spirit of Eid.
Their participation reminded the nation that beneath the politics, they too cherish the same traditions, love for family, and spiritual connection as every Pakistani does during Eid.
Eid ul Adha is a festival that transcends social and political boundaries. The way Pakistani politicians on Eid ul Adha 2025 participated in the celebrations revealed their more personal sides—highlighting faith, compassion, and unity. In times of political differences, festivals like these offer moments of harmony, where every citizen, including those in power, stands equal in devotion and gratitude.
