The Sunnah Revival wishes you and your family Eid Mubarak تقبل الله منا ومنكم

(May Allaah accept (good deeds) from us and from you).

Here are some Sunnah acts on Eid- Al-Fitr

1. Reciting takbeer during the night of Eid from sunset on the last day of Ramadaan until the imam comes to lead the prayer. (See Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 3/122/ ).

You can say:

Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, wa Lillaahi’l-hamd

2. Doing ghusl before going out to the prayer. (Al-Muwatta’ 432. ).

3. Adorning oneself on the occasion of Eid. ( Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah, 1756,).

5. Going to the prayer by one route and returning by another.(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 986.)
