The Sunnahs /Etiquettes of Eid-ul-Adha
It was customary of the Prophet ﷺ to do the following on ‘Eid:
Make du’a on the night of Eid
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘There are five nights on which du’a is not rejected: the first night of Rajab, the fifteenth night of Sha`ban, Thursday night, the night before Eid al-Fitr and the night before Eid al-Nahr (al-Adha)’. (As-Suyuti)
Eid Pray In Open Field
It is recommended that Eid prayer should be observed in an open field thats sunnah
Ghusal ( Bath )
It is Suggested as a Sunnah to Do ghusl & use the best perfumes that we have.
before going out for the eid prayer.
Eating After Eid-ul-Adha prayer
For Eid ul-Fitr, it is Sunnah to eat after Edul Adha prayer and we should follow his example.
Walking to prayer place
It was reported that Sa`id ibn Jubayr said: “Three things are Sunnah on `Eid: to walk (to the prayer-place), to take a bath, and to eat before coming out (if it’s Eid Al-Fitr).”
Takbeer
- On the way to the masjid, Takbeer ul-Eid should be recited softly. The Eid Takbeer is:
‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La Ilaaha Illallahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa Lillahil Hamd’
(Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is most Great, there is no worth of worship , fear , care , love & doer of evrything but Allaah, Allaah is Most great, Allaah is most great, and to Allaah be praise).
Congratulating each other
- On Eid day, we often congratulate each other with greetings such as ‘Eid Mubarak’. However, a better way to greet each other is to take the example of the Sahabah (ra). It was narrated by Jubayr ibn Nufayr (ra), that the Sahabah (ra) used to greet each other on the day of Eid with: ‘Taqabbal Allaahu Minnaa Wa Minka’ ,which means ‘May Allah accept (the fast and worship) from us and from you’. (Fathul-Bari)
Routes to Eid Prayer Venue
- As narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah, ‘On the Day of Eid, the Prophet (saw) used to return after offering the Eid prayer through a way different from that by which he went’. (Bukhari) The reasoning behind this is so that on The Day of Judgement the two paths will testify that you attended this salah.
All of Us , we would like to wish you a wonderful Eid al-Fitr. May Allah (swt) accept all of our fasts and prayers and bring us all endless joy on this blessed day. ( London Muslims Team )

Remember that on the Day of Qurbaani its flesh and blood will be brought and after increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale of good deeds.” Its flesh and blood will be brought and after increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale of good deeds.” Hadhrat Abu Saeed (radiallahu anhu) asked: “0 Rasulullah! Is this reward exclusive for the Family of Muhammad?
