First Rakah
Step 1: Intention: Begin by making an intention to perform two Rakat behind the Imam for Eid prayer, along with six additional Takbirs.
Step 2: Following the Imam’s first “Allahu Akbar,” raise your hands and join in. This marks the initial Takbir of the prayer.
Step 3: Before the Imam begins reciting the Quran, there will be three Takbirs. Each time the Imam says “Allahu Akbar,” raise your hands in sync and then place them by your sides. Upon the third Takbir, as the Imam starts reciting, rest your hands on your chest, with the right hand over the left.
Step 4: Listen attentively to the recitation of the Holy Quran. The Imam will commence with Surah Al-Fatiha, followed by another Surah.
Step 5: When the Imam says “Allahu Akbar,” proceed to perform Ruku (the bowing position).
Step 6: Upon hearing “Sami Allahu liman Hamidah” (Allah hears those who praise Him) from the Imam, stand upright and quietly say “Rabbana lakal Hamd” (our Lord, praise be to You).
Step 7: As the Imam says “Allahu Akbar,” move into Sujud (prostration). Complete two prostrations as you would in a regular prayer.
