Let us rejoice indeed… For this IS the day of Eid!

And yes, Eid is a day to celebrate, but lets try to remember some Sunnahs of Eid:

And how do pray Eid Prayer again? Lol I always forget too:

The Eid Salaah consists of two Rakaahs and two Khutbas, and is very much like the Jummu’ah Salaat with a few variations. During Jummu’ah Salaah the Khutba precedes the two Rakaats and on Eid day it is in reverse.

First comes the two Rakaats of prayer and then the two Khutbas. On the best authority of the Hanafi Imams (R.A.), there are six additional Takbeers (Allah -u-Akbar) for the Eid Salaats. 3 Takbeers in the first Rakaah and 3 Takbeers in the second.

FIRST RAKAAH

After everybody has made ‘Niyyah’ (intention), the Imam recites the ‘Takbeer-E-Tahreema’, (Allah -u-Akbar) and starts the Eid Salaah. Everybody raise their hands to their earlobes and folds them under their navel. Then the imam recites three Takbeers one after the other with brief intervals. (Allah -u-Akbar). We raise our hands and drop them to our sides after the 1st and 2nd Takbeers and after the 3rd Takbeer we place our hands below our navel. The Imam then recites the Surah Fatiha and follows it with any passage from the Quraan. We then proceed into Rukoo and sujjood and return for the second Rakaah.

SECOND RAKAAH

The Imam recites the Surah Fatiha and a passage from the Quraan and is now ready for the Rukoo. At this stage just before going into the Rukoo, he recites the remaining 3 Takbeers with brief intervals. We drop our hands each time to our sides.  When the Imam recites the 4th Takbeer, we go into Rukoo and then into Sajda. After the Thashahhud and Salaam, remain seated and wait for the Imaam to deliver the Khutbahs.

And then… EID MUBARAK!!!!
WE ALL HUG EACH OTHER (TRIPLE HUG!) AND CELEBRATE THE REST OF THE DAY!!!!
