SALAT Al - EID
The `«d Prayer (¯al¡t al-`«d) consists of two Rak`ahs. In the first Rak`ah, one may recite S£rah of al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah of al-A`l¡ (No. 87). After the recitation of these S£rahs, one may say the takb¢r statement (i.e. all¡hu-akbar) five times and raise the hands for the Qun£t after each takb¢r, saying:
Çááøåõãø Ãóåúáó ÇáúßöÈúÑöíóÇÁö æóÇáúÚóÙóãóÉö¡ | all¡humma ahla alkibriy¡‘i wal-`a¨amati | O Allah: You are the Lord of glory and greatness |

You may then say the takb¢r for the sixth time, and do the genuflection (ruk£`), and prostrate yourself (suj£d). When you stand up for the second Rak`ah, recite S£rah of al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah of al-Shams (No. 91) and then say the takb¢r four times only raising the hands for the Qun£t after each takb¢r. After that, say the fifth takb¢r and continue the prayer. After accomplishment of the prayer, say the famous Tasb¢¦ al-Zahr¡' (a.s).
Narrations have mentioned many supplications to be said after the `«d Prayer; rather the best of them may be the forty-fifth supplication of al-¯a¦¢fah al-K¡milah al-Sajj¡diyyah.
It is recommended to offer the `«d Prayer outdoors, directly on the ground without putting a carpet or any other thing under the feet, to return from a way other than the one taken in the coming, to pray Almighty Allah for accepting the acts of one’s brethren-in-faith.
