2. Give Zakaat-e-Fitra, which is 3 kilograms of the item commonly eaten per person in the house and it is better give it before Eed Salaat This is an emphasized Waajib, it is a means of acceptance of our A’amaal during Ramadhan Month and it is also a safeguard against death.

3. Make Ghusl.  Recite this before it:

O Allah, believing in Thee, fully aware of Thy Book, following the way of life of Thy Prophet Muhammad, Allah's blessings be on him and on his children, (I take bath).

allahumma emanan bika wa tasdedan bikitabika wattiba`a sunnati nabiyyika muhammadin salla allahu `layhi wa alihi

اللّهُمّ إِيمَاناً بِكَ وَتَصْدِيقاً بِكِتَابِكَ وَاتّبَاعَ سُنّةِ نَبِيّكَ مُحَمّدٍ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ.

Then recite Bismillaah… and start making Ghusl, after finishing ghusl, recite this

O Allah let me make amends and compensate for my wrong doings, (so that) my religion becomes pure and O Allah remove the dirt from me.

allahumma ij`alhu kaffarattan lidhunube wa tahhir dene allahumma adh-hib `anniya alddanasa

اللّهُمّ اجْعَلْهُ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِي وَطَهّرْ دِينِي. اللّهُمّ أَذْهِبْ عَنّي الدّنَس

4. Recite Ziarat of Imam Husayn(as) Qadr & Idd    Special Ziarat on Idd

5. Recite Duaa-e-Nudbaa.   Sayyid Ibn Tawus has instructed, saying: After recitation of the Du`a' al-Nudbah, prostrate yourself and say the following:

أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارٍ حَرّهَا لا يُطْفأُ	a`udhu bika min narin harruha la yutfa'u	I seek refuge with Thee from the Fire whose hot flames do not get extinguished or grow dim,
وَجَدِيدُهَا لا يَبْلَى	wa jadeduha la yabla	whose energetic intensity does not loose its severity,
وَعَطْشَانُهَا لا يُرْوَى.	wa `atshanuha la yurwa	wherein parched throats never get quenched.

You may then put your right cheek on the ground and say the following:

O Allah do not throw me down head on into the Fire after I have prostrated in adoration before Thee and thrown myself on the ground to humble myself before Thee; it is not a show of favour from me unto Thee but it is (Thy) merciful benevolence Thou bestows on me.

ilahe la tuqallib wajhiya finnari ba`da sujude wa ta`fere laka bighayri mannin minne `alayka bal laka almannu `alayya

إِلهِي لا تُقَلّبْ وَجْهِي فِي النَّارِ بَعْدَ سُجُودِي وَتَعْفِيرِي لَكَ بِغَيْرِ مَنّ مِنّي عَلَيْكَ بَلْ لَكَ الْمَنّ عَلَيّ.

You may then put your left cheek on the ground and say the following:

Have mercy on him who has transgressed and committed blunders, (but) now ashamed surrenders (to Thee) to receive absolution.

irham man asa'a waqtarafa wastakana wa`tarafa

ارْحَمْ مَنْ أَسَاءَ وَاقْتَرَفَ وَاسْتَكَانَ وَاعْتَرَفَ.

You may then return to the (ordinary) prostration and say the following:

I am a troublesome servant but Thou art the bountiful Lord-Nourisher. A great many mistakes have been committed by Thy servant but O Compassionate, from Thee (only) Lenient treatment is expected.

in kuntu bi'sa al`abdu fa anta ni`ma alrrabbu `azuma aldhdhanbu min `abdika falyahsun al`afwa min `indika ya karemu

إِنْ كُنْتُ بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ فَأَنْتَ نِعْمَ الرّبّ، عَظُمَ الذّنْبُ مِنْ عَبْدِكَ فَلْيَحْسُنِ الْعَفْوُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ.

You may then repeat the following one hundred times:

(I plead for) pardon; (I plead for) pardon.

al`afwa al`afwa

اَلْعَفْوَ، اَلْعَفْوَ

Sayyid Ibn Tawus, then, adds, “Do not spend this day with entertainment and negligence while you do not know whether your deeds have been accepted or rejected. Rather, if you hope of acceptance of your deeds, you must show thanks; and if you anticipate rejection, you must be intensely sad.”

6. Recite Eed-Salaat.

It is recommended not to leave one’s house for joining the congregational Eid al-Fitr Prayer before sunrise. It is also recommended to say the supplications that have been mentioned by Sayyid Ibn Tawus in “Iqbal al-A`mal”. One of these supplications is that Abu-Hamzah al-Thumali has reported Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s) as saying, “Whey you ready yourself for joining the congregational Friday Prayers and the Eid Prayers, you may say the following supplication:

SALAT Al - EID 

The Eid Prayer (Salat al-`«d) consists of two Rak`ahs. In the first Rak`ah, one may recite Surah of al-Fatihah and Surah Al A'ala Mp3(No. 87). ( Image file here) After the recitation of these Surahs, one may say the takbeer statement (i.e. allahu-akbar) five times and raise the hands for the Qunut after each takbeer, saying as below:  PDF for print  | jpg

You may then say the takbeer for the sixth time, and do the genuflection (ruku`), and prostrate yourself (sujud). When you stand up for the second Rak`ah, recite Surah of al-Fatihahand Surah  91 As Shams Mp3  (Image here) and then say the takbeer four times only raising the hands for the Qunut after each takbeer After that, say the fifth takbeer andCONTINUE the prayer.

اللّهُمّ أَهْلَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ،	allahumma ahla alkibriya‘i wal-`azamati	O Allah: You are the Lord of glory and greatness
وَأَهْلَ الْجُودِ وَالْجَبَرُوتِ،	wa ahla aljudi wal-jabaruti	And the Lord of magnanimity and omnipotence
وَأَهْلَ الْعَفْوِ وَالرّحْمَةِ،	wa ahla al-`afwi wal-rrahmati	And the Lord of pardon and mercy,

أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقّ هذَا الْيَوْمِ الّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عِيداً،	as’aluka bihaqqi hadha aliyawmi alladhy ja`altahu lilmuslimena `edan	I beseech You in the name of this day, which You have decided to be feast for the Muslims,
وَلِمُحَمّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه ذُخْراً وَمَزِيداً	wa limuhammadin salla allahu `alayhi wa alihi dhukhran wa mazedan	And to be safety and increasing honor for Muhammad—peace of Allah be upon him and his Household—
أَنْ تُصَلّيَ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ	an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin	(I beseech You) that You may send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَأَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي فِي كُلّ خَيْرٍ أَدْخَلْتَ فِيهِ مُحَمّداً وَآلَ مُحَمّدٍ،	wa an tudkhilany fe kulli khayrin adkhalta fehi muhammadan wa ala muhammadin	And You may include me with every item of goodness with which You have included Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

اللّهُمّ إِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ،	allahumma inne as’aluka khayra ma sa’alaka `ibaduka alssalihuna	O Allah: I pray You for the best of all that for which Your righteous servants have prayed You,
وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ.	wa a`udhu bika mimma ista`adha minhu `ibaduka alssalihuna	And I seek Your protection against all that against which Your righteous servants have asked Your protection.

 After accomplishment of the prayer, say the famous Tasbeh al-Zahra' (a.s).

Narrations have mentioned many supplications to be said after the `Eid Prayer; rather the best of them may be the forty-fifth supplication of al-Sahefah al-Kamilah al-Sajjadiyyah.

It is recommended to offer the Eid Prayer outdoors, directly on the ground without putting a carpet or any other thing under the feet, to return from a way other than the one taken in the coming, to pray Almighty Allah for accepting the acts of one’s brethren-in-faith.
