* The Eid Prayer has two rak'ah to perform in the normal way, with the
only addition of six takbirs, three of them in the beginning of the
first rak'ah, and three of them just before ruku' in the second
rak'ah. The detailedway of performing the 'Eidprayer is as follows:
The Imam will begin the prayer without Adhan or Iqamah. He will begin
the prayer by reciting takbir ofTahrimah (Allahu Akbar). You should
raise your hands up to the ears, and reciting the takbir, you give a
little pause during which you should recite Thana' (Subhanak
Allahumma.......)· After the completion of Thana' the Imam will recite
takbir (Allahu Akbar) three times, and after reciting each Takbir
(Allahu Akbar) in a low voice, you should bring your hands down and
leave them earthwards. But, after the third takbir, you should setthem
at the level of your navel as you do in the normal prayer.
After these three takbirs the Imam will recite the Holy Qur'an, which
you should listen quietly. The rest of the rak'ah will be performed in
the normal way.
After rising for the second rak'ah, the Imam will begin the
recitations from the Qur'an during which you should remain calm and
quiet. When the Imamfinishes his recitation, he will recite three
takbirs once again, but this time itwill be before bowing down for
ruku'. At each takbir you should raise your hands up to the ears, and
after saying "Allahu Akbar' bring them down and leave them earthwards.
After these three takbirs have been called and completed, the Imam
will say another takbir for bowing down into the ruku' position. At
this takbir you need not raise your hands. You just bow down for your
ruku' saying, 'Allahu Akbar'. The rest of the Salah will be performed
in its usual way.
Khutbah: The Address of 'Eid-ul-fitr:
In this Salah, Khutbah is a Sunnah and is delivered after the Salah,
unlike the Salah of Jumu'ah where it is Fard and is delivered before
the Salah. However,listening to the Khutbah of'Eid Salah is wajib or
necessary and must be heard in perfect peace and silence.
It is a sunnah that the Imam begins the first Khutba by reciting
takbirs 'Allahu Akbar' nine times and the second Khutbah with reciting
it seven times.
Note: The way of 'Eid prayer described above is according to the
Hanafi school of Muslim jurists. Some other jurists, like Imam
Shafi'i, have some other ways to perform it. They recite Takbir twelve
times before beginning the recitations from the Holy Qur'an in both
rak'ah. This way is also permissible. If the Imam, being of the
Shafi'i school, follows this way, you can also follow him. Both
waysare based on the practice of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa
sallam.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

* How to Perform Eid Prayer:
4] Eid-ul-Fitr and its injunctions
4]
Eid-ul-fitr
The second meritorious aspect of Shawwal is that it has been chosen by AllahAlmighty for the celebration of "Eid-ul-fitr", one of the only two annual festivals recognizedby the Shari'ah. This happyday is designed by the Shari'ah as a sign of gratefulness by the Muslims on the accomplishment of Ramadan, and as an immediate reward by Allah for those who spent the month of Ramadan in fasting and performing other forms of 'ibadah.
Instead of commemorating an event from the past, the Shari'ah has prescribed the first of Shawwal as an annual festival for the Muslims at an occasion when they themselves accomplish a great 'ibadah. This approach reminds the Muslims that they should not rely only on the accomplishments of their ancestors, rather, they should themselves perform meritorious acts to please their Creator.
In prescribing the ways to celebrate the happy day, Islam has adopted anotherunique approach. The festivals of other religions or nations normally comprise of some acts of rejoicing and enjoyment. The whole happy day is normally spent in dancing, singing and playing.
In contrast, Islam has prescribed a simple yet graceful way to observe the happy day. First of all, it is mandatory on all the well-off Muslims to start their day by paying"Sadaqat-ul-fitr" to the poor of their society, so that they, too, may enjoy the day along with others, and may not be worried for earning their livelihoodat least on that day of happiness.
After paying the "Sadaqat-ul-fitr", the Muslims are required to proceed to an open place where they canoffer the Eid prayer collectively. In this way, they are supposed to present themselves before their Creator and offer tworak'ats of this special type of Salah, which makes them receive blessings from Allah and start their celebration by these divineblessings.
After the Salah also, they are supposed to rejoice theday in a responsible manner, without violating the limits prescribed for them and never indulging in the acts prohibited by Allah.
Keeping this point in view, we will now discuss specific rules prescribed forobserving the day of Eid-ul-fitr.
The Night Preceding 'Eid-ul-Fitr':
It had been the practice of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, that he would not sleep in the night preceding the day of Eid-ul-fitr. This night has been named in a Hadith asthe Night of Reward (Lailatul Jaiza). Almighty bestows his rewards on those who have spent the month of Ramadan abiding by the dictates of Shari'ah, and all their prayers in this night are accepted. Therefore, it is desirable to perform nafl prayers in this night. The Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, is reported to have said:
Whoever stands up (in worship) in the nights preceding the two Eids expecting rewards from his Lord, his heart will not die when the other hearts will die. (Ibn Majah)
To benefit from this opportunity, one should perform as much worship in this night as he can, andshould pray for all his needs and desires.
Before Going to Eid Prayer:
The following acts are prescribed as Sunnah at the beginning of the day of 'Eid-ul-Fitr before proceeding to the Eid prayer:

7. To recite the following Takbir in the low voice while going to the 'Eid prayer:

1. The Eid prayer is Wajib (obligatory) on every maleMuslim.
2. The Eid prayer can be performed any time between the Ishraq and Zawal.

Arab states announce Eid al-Fitr celebration to be marked Sunday
By AL ARABIYA
The Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr marking the end of the holy month of
Ramadan is to start on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, the kingdom's religious
authorities announced.
Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and the United Arab Emirates also
announced the celebration to be marked on Sunday, following the
sighting of the new moonthat will mark the beginning of the lunar
month of Shawal, which follows the fasting monthof Ramadan in the
Muslimhijri calendar.
Throughout the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims abstain from drinking,
eating, smoking and sexual intercourse from sunrise to sunset.
Ramadan fasting is one ofthe five pillars of Islam, alongside the
belief in theOneness of God, the finality of the prophethood of
Mohammed, establishment of the dailyprayers, concern for and
almsgiving to the needy, and the lesser pilgrimage to Mecca for those
who are able.
Eid al-Fitr is one of the two biggest Muslim holidays of the year,
oftencompared to Christmas in its significance and revelry. The other
major holiday is the sacrificial feast of Eid al-Adha, at theend of
the hajj, the annualpilgrimage to Mecca.
In predominantly Muslim countries, the celebration can last for three
days. Muslims fill the mosques early in the morning to attend the
congregationalEid prayers.
