This Eid ul Fitr Khutbah was delivered by Dr. Syed to the Muslims of Greater Louisville Area in Kentucky on November 25, 2003 corresponding to 1 Shawwal 1424 AH. MUSLIM VICTORIES 'Second, fasting and Jihad are connected to each other in body, spirit, and soul.

Alhamdulillah, we’re so fortunate and blessed to have another Eid to celebrate. Allah (SWT) lets us observe the most sacred and consecrated month of Ramadan, the month which is wrapped up with a day known as Eid-ul-Fitr. It is the most joyous day for Muslims. The morning of the day is twinkled with the happy faces of Muslims around the globe.

Performing Eid-ul-Fitr prayer with friends and relatives at the prayer-ground is the extraordinary event of the day. The salah is taken place in the morning. The structure of performing Eid-ul-Fitr is a little bit different than that of others. Let’s see how to perform Eid-ul-Fitr Salah and how it is different.

How to Perform Eid-ul-Fitr Salah

Eid-ul-Fitr is a two-rakat salah. The core rituals of the salah have no difference. The only addition of this salah is “six takweer” in the salah. It is the obligatory part of Eid-ul-Fitr prayer. Three takweer in each rakat will be performed additionally. The rest of the rituals will remain as usual. Let’s learn How to perform Eid-ul-Fitr Salah step by step.

Step 1: Niyat or intention is the first thing to start salah. Specifically, make intention before starting the prayer.

The First Raka

Step 2: After making Niyat or intention, the second thing is Takweer-e-Tahreema or the first takweer. After the Imam says “Allahu Akbar” lift your hands and follow Imam. This is the first Takweer of the prayer.

Step 3: after the first takweer, there will be 3 Takbirs before the Imam starts reciting Surah Fatiha and the following another surah afterward. These three takweers are essential for the Eid prayer. After these three takweers, Imam will start Surah Fatiha and another one following the Surah Fatiha. By then, you should put your hands on your chest, with your right hand on the left.

Step 4: Listen to the recitation of the Holy Quran and follow Imam for the next action until the following Raáka starts. Imam will lead to Ruku once the recitation is completed.

Step 5: Follow Imam and perform Ruku and Sujood with Imam. Thus, the first Raáka will be completed.

The Second Raka

Step 6: The second Raáka will start as it is (like the other prayer starts). Imam will start the Raáka with Sura Fatiha, and later, he will add another surah.

Step 7: Imam will raise hands to perform additional three Takweer before going into Ruku (the bowing position). Fake Imam and perform the additional three Takweers with him.

Step 8: Then Imam will sit for Tahahhud (Jalsah) and others dua. Performing all, Imam will conclude the prayer with Salam. You should follow as the follower in the prayer.

Additional Six Takweer in Eid-ul-Fitr Prayer

Generally, there is no difference in Eid prayer and others except six additional takweers in the prayer. The prayer starts by (as other prayer stars) with the specific Niyat (intention) for Eid prayer. The sole difference with the other prayers is the additional six takweers sharing two raka of the prayer.

There will be three takweers in each Raáka. The first three takweers will be after the Takweer-e-Tahreema, and the last three takweers will be played after reciting the Sura Fatiha and the following one – just before heading to Ruku. Remember, performing these six Takweers in Eid prayer is wajib and intentional violation would break salah.

Sunnah Qirat for Eid-ul-Fitr Prayer

You can recite any two Sura from the Quran or a few verses to perform Eid-ul-Fitr Salah. However, our Prophet (PBUH) preferred some sura to recite in the prayer. Our Prophet (PBUH) recites Sura Qaaf (50) in the first Raákat and Sura Qamar (54) in the second. Sometimes, He (PBUH) recites Surat ul-A`laa (87) in the first, and Soorat ul-Ghaasheeyah (88) in the second Raákat.

Sunnah Qirat in Eid-ul-Fitr Prayer

• Sura Qaaf in the first Raáka and Sura Qamar in the first Raáka, or
• Surat ul-A`laa in the first Raáka and Soorat ul-Ghaasheeyah in the first Raáka

The Khutbah of Eid-ul-Fitr

The Eid prayer is wrapped up with a short Khutbah (discourse), which is loaded with Takweer and several supplications for the wellbeing of Muslims and the total humankind. Do listen to the lecture attentively and ask all the goodness to Allah later in Dua.

Listening to Khutbah (speech) is sunnah. There is no Aazan (call to prayer) or Iqamah for the Eid khutbah. The khutbah is devided into two section like the khutbah delibered in the Jumáa prayer. Listening attentively without making sound and moving is

Sunnah Acts of Eid-ul-Fitr

• Take a shower.
• Clean the teeth using miswaq.
• Put on the best cloth he had.

• He used to go for Eid prayer-ground by walking.
• He recites Takweer during the way to Eid prayer ground. Here is the Arabic text: الله أكبر .. الله أكبر .. لا إله إلا الله ، الله أكبر .. الله أكبر .. ولله الحمد (Translation: Allah is the best, He is the best. There is no god with the exception of Allah. He is the best. All gestures of recognition and thanks are for Him)
• The Prophet used to pay Sadqa e Fitr (zakatul fitr) before the Eid day.

Summing Up

That’s all about how to perform Eid-ul-Fitr salah. Now you know how to perform Eid-ul-Fitr prayer properly.

Remember, the way of performing Eid-ul-Adha is identical. However, if you have confusion about Eid-ul-Adha prayer and like to learn in-depth, you can learn from here.

One of the meritorious aspect of Shawwal is that it has been chosen by Allah Almighty for the celebration of “Eid-ul-Fitr”, one of the only two annual festivals recognised by the Shariah. This happy day is designed by the Shari'ah as a sign of gratefulness by the Muslims on the accomplishment of Ramadhan, and as an immediate reward by Allah for those who spent the month of Ramadhan in fasting and performing other forms of ‘Ibaadah'.

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 ‘Ibaadah'. 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 another unique 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, drinking singing and playing.

Islam has, conversely, prescribed a very simple, prestigious and more humane 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 livelihood at least in that day of happiness.

After paying the ‘Sadaqat-ul-fitr', the Muslims are required to proceed to an open place where they can offer ‘Eid prayer collectively. In this way, they are supposed to present themselves before their Creator and offer two rak'ats of this special type of Salaah, which makes them receive blessings from Allah and start their celebration by these divine blessings.

After the Salaah also, they are supposed to rejoice the day 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 for observing the day of ‘Eid-ul-Fitr.

The Night preceding ‘Eid-ul-Fitr'

It had been the practice of the Holy Prophet that he did not sleep in the night preceding the day of ‘Eid ul –fitr. This night has been named in a Hadith as, ‘THE NIGHT OF REWARD'. It means that Allah Almighty bestows his rewards to those who have spent the month of Ramadhan 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 Holy Prophet 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.

To benefit from this opportunity, one should perform as much worship in this night as he can, and should 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:

1. To wake up early in the morning.

2. To clean one's teeth with a Miswaak or a brush.

3. To have a bath.

4. To put on one's best available clothes.

5. To wear perfume.

6. To eat a sweet food, preferably dates, before the ‘Eid prayer.

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

“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha ilal lahu wal allahu akbar, allahu akbar wa lilla hil hamnd.”

Sadaqat-ul-fitr

Sadaqat-ul-fitr is an obligation for every Muslim, male or female, who owns 613.35 grams of silver or its equivalent, either in the form of money, ornaments, stock-in-trade or in the form of some goods or commodities beyond one's normal needs. Every person who owns such an amount has to pay Sadaqat-ul-fitr, not only on behalf of himself but also on behalf of his minor children. The prescribed amount of Sadaqat-ul-fitr is 1.75 kilograms of wheat or its value in money. This amount is prescribed for paying Sadaqat-ul-fitr for one person only. If a person has some minor children, the same amount has to be paid on behalf of each one of them separately. The following points must be remembered with regard to the payment of Sadaqat-ul-fitr.

1. Sadaqat-ul-fitr is obligated on each adult male or female separately, and the relevant adult person himself is responsible to pay it. The husband is not required to pay Sadaqat-ul-fitr on behalf of his wife nor is the wife supposed to pay it on behalf of her husband. Similarly, a father is not bound to pay Sadaqat-ul-fitr on behalf of his adult children or vice versa. However, if the head of the family, by his own free will, wishes to pay Sadaqat -ul-fitr for each one of the members of his family, he should seek their authorisation for that purpose. In this case the Sadaqat-ul-fitr paid by him will be valid on their behalf. If he did not pay Sadaqat-ul-fitr on behalf of his family, he will not be responsible for it. Rather, it is the duty of every adult member of the family to discharge his own obligation or request the head of the family to pay it on his or her behalf.

2. It is a Sunnah that the Sadaqat-ul-fitr is paid before performing the ‘Eid prayer. It can also be paid before the ‘Eid day, but it is not advisable to delay it up to the performance of ‘Eid prayer. However, if a person has failed to pay on its proper time, he should pay it as soon as possible, whereupon the obligation will stand discharged.

3. The Sadaqat-ul-fitr is not necessary on behalf of a child who has been born after the break of dawn in the ‘Eid day, nor is it necessary to pay Sadaqat-ul-fitr on behalf of person who dies before the dawn of the ‘Eid day.

4. Sadaqat-ul-fitr should only be paid to a person who is entitled to receive Zakah.

The ‘Eid prayer

The second obligation on ‘Eid day is to perform the ‘Eid prayer. Some rules in this respect are mentioned hereunder:

1. The ‘Eid prayer is waajib (obligatory) on every male Muslim.

2. The ‘Eid prayer can be performed any time between the ishraq and zawal.

3. It is preferable that the ‘Eid prayer is performed at an open field and not in a mosque. However, if, it is difficult to perform it in an open field, it can also be performed in a big mosque.

4. It is not advisable to hold the ‘Eid prayer in every mosque, rather it is preferable that the people of several mosques either perform it in an open field or, in its absence, in a big mosque which can accommodate a large number of people.

5. No Nafl Salaah can be performed before the ‘Eid prayer, neither in ones home, nor at the place of ‘Eid prayer. Similarly, Nafl prayer cannot be performed after the ‘Eid prayer at the same place. However, it can be performed after one comes back to his home.

In this Salaah, Khutbah is a Sunnah and is delivered after the Salaah, unlike the Salaah of Jumuah where it is farz and is delivered before the Salaah . However, listening to the Khutbah of ‘Eid Salaah is waajib or necessary and must be heard in perfect peace and silence.

Khutbah For Eid Ul Fitr In Arabic

It is a Sunnah that the Imam begins the first Khutbah 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, have other ways to perform it. They recite Takbir twelve times before beginning the recitations from the Holy Qur'an in both the rakaahs. This way is also permissible. If the Imam , being of the Shafi School , follows this way, you can also follow him. Both ways are based on the practice of the Holy Prophet .

Six Fasts in the Month of Shawwal

It is commendable to keep six fasts in the month of Shawwal. The Holy Prophet has said:

Eid Ul Fitr Khutbah Arabic Text

“Whoever completes the fasts of Ramadhan then adds to them the fasts of six days in the month of Shawwal, it will carry the thawab of fasting for the whole year.” (Sahih Muslim)

This Hadith had described the great thawab of six fasts of this month. The scholars have interpreted this Hadith by saying that according to the recognised rules of Shari‘ah, every good deed is rewarded ten times more thawab of its origin, therefore, the thawab of 30 days of Ramadhan amounts to the thawab for 300 days. If the fasts of Ramadhan are followed by six more fasts, they carry the thawab of 60 days more, raising the aggregate thawab to 360 which is the number of dais in one year according to the Islamic calendar. Therefore, the Muslims should take this opportunity of acquiring such an enormous reward from Allah. It is more preferable to start these fasts from the 2 nd of Shawwal and keep fasting up to the 7 th of Shawwal. However, if they are kept in other days, it is hoped that the requirement of the above Hadith may also be fulfilled.
