Eid prayer can be performed in congregation, or individually any time
between sunrise and noon. The best time of theEid prayer is after the
sun has reached the height of a spear (approximately 20 minutes from
sunrise). However if one missed it one should make it up.
The Eid prayer is not preceded by the adhan (the call to announce the
prayer time) or iqamah (the call to start prayer).
The one who performs theEid prayer must satisfy theconditions and
avoid the invalidators of prayer.
The Eid prayer consists of two Rak^ahs. It is initiated with the
opening takbir, with the intention to perform ^Id Prayer with the
Imam, followed by the opening supplication, and seven takbirs. In
between each takbir of the seven takbirs one recites the following
du^a':
"Subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wala ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar".
Then one recites al-Isti^adhah (seeking refuge with Allah from
theshaytan by saying"A^outhu billahi minash-Shaytanir-Rajeem"),
Suratul-Fatihah and Surat Qaf or Suratul al-'A^la alternatively.
In the second rak^ah one says five takbirs before reciting the Fatihah
followed by Suratul-Qamar or Suratul-Ghashiyah. If one started with
the Fatihah leaving out any or the entire takbirs, ones prayer is
still valid, however one would miss out on the reward of the takbirs.
Hence one should continue with one's prayer order.
After the prayer, it is recommended that the Imam delivers two
speeches (same as the Friday speech) starting with nine takbirs in the
first half of the khutbah and seven in the second. The Imam should
teach the people the rules of breaking the fast, visiting one's
relatives, and other significant matters pertaining to Eid.
