The Eid prayer, whether it’s Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha, is a special congregational prayer in Islam. Here’s a brief description of how to perform it:Intention (Niyyah): Begin by making a sincere intention in your heart to perform the Eid prayer.Congregational Gathering: Eid prayer is usually performed in an open area or a large prayer ground with a congregation of Muslims.Takbirat: After the congregation forms, the prayer leader (imam) says “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest) seven times. Congregants follow by raising their hands and saying “Allahu Akbar” after each takbir.Recitation: After the takbirat, the imam recites verses from the Quran, typically Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah.Ruku and Sujood: Unlike the regular daily prayers, the Eid prayer does not have a bowing (ruku) or prostration (sujood). After the recitation, the imam gives a short sermon (khutbah) offering advice and reminders.Takbirat in the Second Unit: The congregation then stands up and says “Allahu Akbar” for five takbirat, following the imam each time. After the takbirat, there is another short recitation and sermon.Salutations (Tasleem): The imam concludes the prayer by turning his head to the right and saying “As-salamu ‘alaykum” to end the prayer.Supplication and Socializing: After the prayer, it is customary to offer supplications for forgiveness and well-being. Muslims greet each other with “Eid Mubarak” (Blessed Eid) and exchange good wishes. They may also visit friends and family, give and receive gifts, and share festive meals.The Eid prayer is a time of celebration and communal unity for Muslims. It is typically performed in the morning of the Eid day, and attending the congregation is highly recommended for those who are able to do so.
