The two happiest mornings of the year — when they fall next, how Eid salah differs from a normal prayer, the takbir, and the sunnahs of the day.
Estimated from the tabular calendar — confirm with local moon sighting.
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illa llah, wa llahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi l-hamd
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is no god but Allah. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise.
Said on the way to the Eid prayer, and through the days of Eid al-Adha.
Two rakats prayed in congregation in the morning after sunrise, with no adhan and no iqamah. The khutbah comes after the prayer.
Eid salah adds extra takbirs: most schools say 7 extra in the first rakah and 5 in the second (before the recitation); the Hanafi school says 3 extra in each rakah. Follow your imam, and raise your hands with each takbir.
After the takbirs, the prayer continues exactly like any two-rakah salah: al-Fatiha and a surah, ruku, sujud, tashahhud and salam.
Listening to the Eid khutbah after the prayer is part of the day.
