You can use attr() function to retrieve any attribute of an element.

var id = $(".tab-pane").attr("id");

Use .attr() as shown :-

var id = $('div.tab-pane.active').attr('id')

OR

var id = $('.tab-pane.active').attr('id')

Side Note :- I am assuming that you have only one element with class tab-pane active in your DOM otherwise you have to use $.each() to loop through all div with class tab-pane active
