How to do the Takbir of Eid Al Fitr?

1 min read

The Takbir of Eid Al-Fitr is an Arabic phrase that Muslims recite to announce the start of the Eid festival, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The time for this takbeer begins when the sun sets on the night of Eid (i.e., the night before) if it is known that the new month has begun when the sun sets, such as when the people have completed thirty days of Ramadaan, or when it is proven that the new moon of Shawwaal has been sighted. And it ends when the prayer begins, i.e., when they start the Eid prayer then the time for the takbeer ends. 

It is Sunnah for both men and woman, in the mosque, in the home and in the marketplace. Men should say it out loud, and women should say it quietly, because women are commanded to lower their voices.

Here is the Takbir that you should recite:

 اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ

Allāhu Akbar، Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَللهِ الْحَمْدُ

Lā ilāha illallāhu wallāhu Akbar، Allāhu Akbar walillāhil hamd’

(To be recited 3 times)
