It’s quite likely that you’ve heard of Ramadan and Eid together and with reason, since Eid is the festival that signals the end of the month of Ramadan. However, there’s another Eid – Eid al-Adha, also called Bakrid!

We’ve described everything about the celebration of Eid al-Adha in this post. Basically, it’s the festival of sacrifice and also coincides with the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca – the Hajj. 

Eid Milad-Un-Nabi is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam. Muslims across the world will celebrate the anniversary of Prophet Muhammad as Eid-e-Milad, Nabi Day or Mawlid this month. It is the Islamic observation of the day when the Prophet Muhammad was born. This year, Milad-un-Nabi will begin on the evening of September 27 and end on the evening of September 28, 2023.

When is Eid Al Adha in 2024? 

Eid al-Adha for the year 2024 is celebrated/ observed on sundown of Sunday, June 16th ending at sundown on Monday, June 17th.

Since the pilgrimage and holy mosque in Mecca are important parts of this Eid, we thought it would be interesting to make some beautiful mosque crafts for Eid al-Adha. This is a great opportunity not just to celebrate the festival, but to also learn about some historical mosques around the world!

Doesn’t this silhouette art by In the Playroom look gorgeous? I love how you can change that sky view to a night view or an early morning one, using more oranges, reds and yellows. In any case, it’ll look beautiful!

See if you can add a water element to make it look like the mosque is floating – like the Puchong Perdana Mosque in Malaysia!

The Blue Mosque of Turkey is probably one of the most well known mosques in the world, thanks to it’s characteristic blue tile interior! Education features an easy craft that goes with blue domes instead, since it’s easier to depict the exterior.

5. Straw Mosque Craft

Kiddiegram has an easy and cute project for little kids that makes use of old drinking straws. It’s clever how they replicate intricate work seen in most mosques by using patterned paper. Go with Moroccan prints to give it a more mosque-like feel.

Check out the designs on the Wazir Khan Mosque of Pakistan, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and considered to be the most elaborately decorated Mughal mosque. 

6. 3 D Mosque Model

Zaufishan has a very simple mosque craft made out of geometric shapes, and we love how she’s done the domes and minaret! Tip – cut out the windows and use transparent colored sheets for the windows and place the mosque near the window – wow!

You’ll find that this craft resembles the Hassan II Mosque of Casablanca, with a 700 feet tall minaret topped with a laser that points towards Mecca, making it one of the tallest religious structures in the world.

7. Cereal Box Mosque Scenery

There are a zillion things you can do with cereal boxes, and Minie Co shows us how to turn it into a mosque! We love how simple and elegant it looks – no one will guess it’s actually a cereal box on the back!

Paint the arches in stripes of red to resemble the historical Cordoba mosque of Spain. It was first a church, turned into a mosque, and then divided into a church half and a mosque half and then finally converted into a church. So much history in one building!

8. 3 D Mosque Theme Gift Wrap

Why give drably wrapped gifts for Eid when Martha Stewart is showing us how to make them pretty? Dress up your gifts with these honeycomb mosque domes. You could also turn them into wall hangings too!

Aren’t those honeycomb domes pretty? They’re similar to the Crystal mosque of Malaysia, made of crystal, glass and steel. It’s a small mosque but a gorgeous looking one!

If you think this resembles the St Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow, you’re not wrong – in fact, it is similar to the Qolsarif Mosque of Russia, which also functions as a museum.
