Eid Prayer and Recommended acts on the day of Eid `Id 2024 1445
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Praise be to God the Creator of the world, the One Who exists without beginning, without end, without location, without a "how" and Who does not depend on time. Nothing resembles Him in anyway and He hears and sees everything without organs. Whatever you imagine, God is different from that. May the elevation in degree and preservation of his community of what he fears for it, be granted to our master Muḥammad Al-'Amin, the Honest One, who called for following Islam, the religion of truth, the religion of all the Prophets: of the first, Adam, to the last Muḥammad.

`Arafah 9 dhu l-Ḥijjah 1445
Eid al-Aḍ-ḥā (Aid el-Kebīr) is on 10 dhu l-Ḥijjah 1445 H:
Eid prayer can be performed in congregation, or individually any time between sunrise and noon. The best time of the Eid prayer is after the sun has reached the height of a spear (approximately 20 minutes from sunrise).
However if one missed it one should make it up.The Eid prayer is not preceded by the adhan (the call to announce the prayer time) or iqamah (the call to start prayer).
The one who performs the Eid prayer must satisfy the conditions and avoid the invalidators of prayer. The Eid prayer consists of two Rak`ahs.
It is initiated with the opening takbir, with the intention to perform `Id Prayer with the Imam, followed by the opening supplication, and seven takbirs. In between each takbir of the seven takbirs one recites the following du`a':
« سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر »
( Subḥāna lLâh, wa l-ḥamdu li lLâh, wa lâ ilâha illa lLâh, wa lLâhu akbar )
Then one recites al-Isti`adhah seeking refuge with Allâh from the shaytan by saying
« أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ »
(‘a`ûdhu bi l-Lâhi mina ch-chayṭâni r-rajîm)
Surat Al-Fâtiḥah and Surat Qaf or Surat Al-'A`la alternatively. In the second rak`ah one says five takbirs before reciting the Fâtiḥah followed by Surat Al-Qamar or Surat Al-Ghâshiyah.
If one started with the Fâtiḥah leaving out any or the entire takbirs, ones prayer is still valid, however one would miss out on the reward of the takbirs. Hence one should continue with one's prayer order.
After the prayer, it is recommended that the Imam delivers two speeches (same as the Friday speech) starting with nine takbirs in the first half of the khutbah and seven in the second.
The Imam should teach the people the rules of breaking the fast, visiting one's relatives, and other significant matters pertaining to Eid.
Recommended acts on the day of Eid
- It is sunnah on the day of `Id to have a bath before going to the prayer.
- To wear perfume.
- To clip one's fingernails.
- To wear the best of one's clothes.
- To take different routes to and from the `Id prayer.
- To go early to the mosque excluding the Imam.
- It is sunnah to have a light snack such as dates or the like before going to the prayer.
- Walking to the prayer place.
- Saying takbirs of Eid is highly recommended after the sunset of the last day of Ramaḍān and remains until the Imam says the opening takbir of the `Id prayer. This includes saying takbir in one's home, the market places, mosques, and the streets.
- Congratulating one another on the day of Eid is rewardable, as both Ibn Hajar and Al-Bayhaqiyy stated.
- It is sunnah to spend the night preceding the day of `Id in acts of worship such as praying or the like.Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to pray `Id prayer consistently as it is sunnah mu'akkadah.
The first Eid prayer that the Prophet performed was in the second year after the Hijrah (migration).
