  1. I know very little about Islam, but I searched around a bit and found that 10th of Dhul-Hijjah (is that Idd ul Zuha?) in 1957 was either Sunday, July 7 or Monday, July 8, according to the calendar converter at the first source listed below. That page describes how there are different types of calendars so it depends on which calendar type you using to know which exact day in the Western (Gregorian) calendar.

    The calendar converter on the second source listed below says that according to the Umm Al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia, the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah fell on Monday, July 8 in 1957. This calendar seems pretty standard in the Arabian Peninsula and in non-Islamic countries but the page says: "Nevertheless, the Umm al-Qura calendar is often criticised by other Muslim communities who base their calendar on the actual sighting of the lunar crescent (hilāl). Especially around the month of fasting (Ramadān) and the month of pilgrimage (Dhū ’l-Hijja) the Umm al-Qura calendar often causes confusion when the dates observed by different Muslim communities for these major Islamic festivals are found differ by one, two or even three days."

    I hope this helps somewhat.
