HOW TO PRAY EID SALĀH
Eid Salāh has two rak‘ahs, wherein each rak‘ah three extra takbīr (Allāhu Akbar) are said. These takbīr are called the “Zawāid Takbīr” and are wājib (obligatory) in the Eid Salāh. During the 1st rak‘ah it is said before the qirā’ah, and in the 2nd rak‘ah after the qirā’ah.
This is how Eid Salāh is prayed: In the 1st rak‘ah after the “Iftitah Takbīr”, the hands are placed one on top of the other and thanā (subḥānaka) is recited. After the thanā, the imām says aloud “Allāhu Akbar” and the jamā’ah (congregation) will follow in private, lifting the hands up and lowering to the sides. The second takbīr is said and the hands are lowered to the sides again. The third takbīr is said the hands are placed one on top of the other. The imām then recites aloud Sūrah al-Fātiḥah and another sūrah or āyah, while the jamā‘ah listens. After rukū‘ and sajdah, the second rak‘ah is performed.
In the second rak‘ah, the imām first recites Sūrah al-Fātiḥah, and another sūrah or āyah. The takbīr said at the beginning of the first rak‘ah are repeated in the second rak‘ah at the end of the qiyām. During this time, the hands are kept to the sides and after the fourth takbīr, rukū’ is performed and salāh is completed.
The khutbah (sermon) is delivered before the Jumu‘ah Salāh while it is done after Salāh’s completion in Eid Salāh. The khutbah is commenced with takbīr, and the congregation joins, reading it silently.
SPENDING EID NIGHTS IN IBĀDAH
On Eid nights, Muslims should perform Khatm al-Anbiya and Khatm al-Istighfār (to recite ‘Astaghfirullah al-Aẓīm wa atūbu ilayk’ 1001 times). They should also perform Tasbīh Salāh, if possible. (Du‘as [Invocations] and ‘Ibādahs [Acts of Worship])

EID AL-FITR IS A DAY OF JOY
The fast of Ramaḍān was ordained in Sha‘bān Sharīf in the second year of hijrah (emigration). When Ramaḍān begins, Muslims fast, and when it is the first day of Shawwal, they celebrate it as an Eid.
Eid means celebration and festival. The celebration at the end of Ramaḍān is called Eid al-Fitr. The word ‘fitr’ denotes not fasting on that day, therefore meaning that one month of fasting period comes to an end.
On Eid days, Muslims do not fast. They put on their best clothing and express their joy by visiting each other.
Islam has been founded on five pillars: Kālimah Shahādah, salāh, sawm, zakāt and hajj. Kalimah Shahādah is like a roof raised high above the rest of the pillars of Islam. Once these four ibādahs are fulfilled well, īmān (faith) and tawhīd (oneness of Allāh) are reinforced.
It is certainly the right of a Muslim to rejoice on the Eid day because they fast in Ramaḍān and thus firmly strengthen Kalimah Tawhīd, the roof and essence of dīn.
Hence, the Muslims who adhered to Allāh Ta‘ālā’s command by fasting in Ramaḍān Sharīf feel contentment and joy due to their great achievement in this month. As a manifestation of their spiritual pleasure, they put on their best clothes, congratulate their fellow Muslim brothers with du‘ās like, “May Allāh bless you with many more eids!” and wish them the ability to fast during many Ramaḍāns to come.
