💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Summarized notes regarding Eid Al-Fitr:
1] Make sure you have paid the Zakat Al-Fitr before praying the two Rak'ahs of Eid prayer.
2] Start saying the Takbeeraat once it has been announced that the next day is Eid. ("Allahu Akbar" 3 times "Laa ilaaha ilAllah" once. "Allahu Akbar" twice. "Wa Lillaahil Hamd.")
3] Take the ghusl bath, perform wudhu/ablution then wear washed garments if you were unable to buy new clothes for Eid.
4] Eat an odd number of dates (3, 5 or 7 etc.)
5] Continue saying the Takbeeraat until the Imam begins the Eid prayers.
6] There are seven Takbeeraat in the first Rak'ah and five Takbeeraat in the second Rak'ah. It is closer to the Sunnah of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam to recite Surah Al-A'laa after Surah Al-Fatiha in the first Rak'ah and then Surah Al-Ghaashiyah after Surah Al-Fatiha in the second Rak'ah.
7] Attentively listen to the Eid Khutbah/sermon/lecture instead of browsing through your cellphone or chatting with the persons nearby while the Imam is lecturing.
8] If you are praying in a field, outdoors or Masjid, try to take a different route from where you first entered the prayer area.
9] Spend quality time with some of your family, relatives and friends for Allah's sake or send them some Eid greetings.
