Eid Ul Fitr Sunnah Virtues & Tips *Before eid prayer It is desirable to start saying: “Allah Akbar” [Allah is the Greatest] from the setting of the sun on the night of `Eid until the Imam comes to perform Salat-ul-`Eid, It was reported from Ibn `Umar that he used to go out for Salat-ul- `Eid starting from the masjid (after performing the FajrSalah) and continued pronouncing Takbir until he reached the praying place and until theImam comes. Do Ghusl (and go as far as) removing the hair of the armpit, clip the nails and wearing new clothes because these actions are parts of adornment. Wear new/clean clothes Ibn Al Qayyim (may Allah bestow mercy on his soul) said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to wear his most beautiful clothes for `Eid, so he had a garment which he used to wear on the Two Days of `Eids and on Friday. Eat an odd number of dates it is desirable for a person to eat odd number of dry dates before going to Salat-ul-`Eid. Odd number is: three, five, or seven. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah’s Messenger never proceeded (to Salah) on the Day of `Eid-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Anas also narrated: The Prophet (S.A.W) Used to eat odd number of dates.”
