How to organize any holiday on your own. Eid prayer Time for Eid prayer

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When the holiday prayer was completed, one of the angels said: “Let everyone know that the Lord has forgiven you. So go back to your homes with joy. Today is the day of reward.” And this is also proclaimed in heaven.”

Those for whom Friday prayers are obligatory must also perform holiday prayers. Those for whom Friday prayers are not obligatory, such as women and children, are not obligated to perform Eid prayers.

There are 5 conditions for performing a festive prayer: mysr (the presence of a city or a large village), iznu ‘am (public accessibility of a place), imam, collective, time.

The time of holiday prayers is counted from the moment when the sun rises to a height of three arshins after sunrise until midday prayer.

If, for a good reason, the Eid al-Fitr prayer was not read on the first day of the month of Shawwal, it can be performed on the second day, but not on the third.

The festive prayer consists of 2 rak'ahs, but unlike the Friday prayer, it is read without adhan and iqamat and is always collective.

For prayer ‘Eid al-fitr, the intention is made as follows: “I intended to read 2 rak'ahs of prayer ‘Id al-fitr, I follow this imam. For the sake of Allah Almighty. Allahu Akbar."

The festive prayer is read as follows: after the intention, takbir is pronounced, then both the imam and those behind him read the san (praise), after 3 times in a row, raising their hands to the earlobes, they say takbir. Hands between takbirs fall, do not rest on each other. Then the imam, as in other prayers, reads the surahs aloud, bows to the ground and bows to the ground and again stands on the qiyam of the second rak'ah and reads the surahs loudly. After that, having finished reading, as in the first rak'ah, he raises his hands three times and pronounces the takbir, and on the fourth takbir he falls into a waist bow. After performing the waist and earthly prostrations, he ends the prayer as usual.

A person who is delayed, but has time for prayer before the imam uttered greetings, finishes his prayer on his own. If the latecomer did not have time to join the imam before greetings, then one should not read the prayer himself, since the holiday prayer has no replenishment.

After performing the prayer, the imam reads a sermon and instructions to people twice, which tells about the duties of a Muslim on the day of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, as well as the Sunnah of the Prophet associated with this day.

Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: “I saw how on a holiday the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), before addressing (to people) with a sermon, prayed without uttering a call to prayer. And then he got up, leaning on Bilal, and commanded (the people) to beware of the punishment of Allah Almighty and prompted them to submit to Him. He exhorted the people and reminded them (of Allah), and then he began to leave. And when he reached the women, he began to exhort them and remind them (of Allah), after which he said: "O women, give alms, for verily you will be the greater part of the inhabitants of Gehenna." Then one of the women with tanned cheeks stood up and said: ″Why, O Messenger of Allah?!″ Then he replied: ″It is because you complain a lot and show ingratitude (toward) your husbands″. And then they began to distribute their jewelry as alms, throwing their earrings and rings on Bilal's clothes.- [al-Bukhari, 978; Muslim, 885].

In the Friday prayer, one of the conditions was a sermon; in the holiday prayer, the sermon is Sunnah. If in the Friday prayer the sermon is read before the obligatory prayer, then in the holiday prayer the sermon is read after the prayers. It is reported that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and Abu Bakr and 'Umar used to pray the Eid prayers before preaching." - [al-Bukhari, 963; Muslim, 888].

In a hadith narrated from Jabir bin Nafir it is narrated: “When they met on Eid, the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to each other: “May Allah accept from us and from you.”

So let us believe and hope for the mercy of the Almighty, asking Him for forgiveness, that our fasts and good deeds in this holy month of Ramadan will be accepted.

Start of Ashour al-Hajj

Shawwal is the first of three months"Ashur al-Hajj" (i.e. the months of the Hajj). Despite the fact that the main rites of the Hajj are performed on the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijj, the entire period from the first day of the month of Shawwal to the 10th of Dhul-Hijj is considered the period of the Hajj, because some elements of the Hajj can be performed at any time of this period. For example, tawaf al-kudum followed by sai’ cannot be done before the beginning of the month of Shawwal, but it can be done on any day starting from the 1st of Shawwal. Umrah performed before the beginning of the month of Shawwal cannot be considered as Umrah tamattu (full): although Umrah performed in the month of Shawwal can be attributed to Hajj, so Hajj will be considered Hajj tamattu (full). In addition, you should not enter the state ihram for the Hajj before the beginning of the month of Shawwal is makruh. That is why these three months are called "months of the Hajj", and the peculiarity of the month of Shawwal is that it is the first of them.

eid al-fitr

The second noble quality of the month of Shawwal is that Allah Almighty chose it to celebrate eid al-fitr, one of the two annual holidays recognized in the Shariah. This day in Sharia was created as a sign of gratitude for achievements in Ramadan, this day is a reward in this life from Allah to those who fasted and performed other types of worship in Ramadan.

Instead of commemorating some event that happened in the past, the Sharia has prescribed to celebrate the first day of the month of Shawwal, on which Muslims celebrate the completion of the greatest act of worship that they themselves have performed. This approach reminds Muslims that they should not rely only on the achievements of their ancestors, but should themselves strive to do good deeds in order to achieve the pleasure of their Creator.

In how a joyful day should be celebrated, Islam also has a special approach. Holidays in other religions and communities usually consist of a series of activities aimed at obtaining pleasure and enjoyment. The whole holiday is usually spent in dancing, singing and games.

In contrast, Islam has prescribed a simple yet noble way of conducting holiday. First of all, it is obligatory for wealthy Muslims to start the holiday with the payment sadaqa al-fitr in favor of the poor Muslims of the community, so that they too can enjoy the holiday and not worry about how to earn a living at least on this day.

After payment sadaqa al-fitr Muslims should go to some open place where they can all together perform the Eid prayer. Muslims must stand before their Creator and perform two rak'ah a special prayer, thanks to which they receive a blessing from Allah and begin the celebration of this joyful day with a divine blessing.

After prayer, Muslims should celebrate this joyful day, but within reasonable limits - do not transgress the boundaries prescribed by Sharia and in no case allow yourself what Allah has forbidden.

With all this in mind, we will now discuss the special rules regarding eid al-fitr.

night before day eid al-fitr

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not sleep the night before eid al-fitr. In the hadith, this night is called "the night of reward" (laylat al-jaiza). The Almighty grants a reward to those who spent the month of Ramadan, following the prescriptions of Sharia, and all the prayers of these people are accepted on this night. Therefore, it is advisable to perform additional prayers on this night. The Prophet is reported to have said:

“Whoever stands (in worship) the night before the two holidays (Eid), hoping for a reward from his Lord, his heart will not die when the hearts of others die.”

To take advantage of this opportunity, one should perform as much worship as possible on this night and pray for the fulfillment of one's needs and desires.

Before leaving for the Eid Prayer

Before going to Eid Prayer on the day eid al-fitr, is with unna do the following:

  • Get up early in the morning.
  • Brush your teeth with a siwak or brush.
  • Perform a full bath.
  • Wear the best clothes available.
  • Soak yourself in incense.
  • Eat something sweet, preferably dates, before going to the Eid prayer.
  • On the way to the holiday prayer, say the following takbir in an undertone:

“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha Illallah wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lillahi-l-hamd» .

Sadaqa al-fitr

Sadaqa al-fitr is obligatory for every Muslim (both male and female) who owns 613.35 grams of silver or the equivalent of this amount in the form of money, jewelry, goods, any product or raw materials in excess of a person’s normal needs. Everyone who has this amount of property must pay sadaqa al-fitr, and not only for themselves, but also for their minor children. Sadaqa al-fitr is 1.75 kg of wheat or the value of such amount of wheat in monetary terms. This is the rate for one person. If a person has minor children, the same amount should be paid for each of them separately. Concerning the payment sadaqa al-fitr the following points should be taken into account:

  1. Sadaqa al-fitr is an obligation for each man and woman separately, each adult is obliged to pay it. Husband does not have to pay sadaqa al-fitr for her wife, and the wife is not obliged to do it for her husband. Also, the father is not required to pay sadaqa al-fitr for their adult children and vice versa. If the head of the family voluntarily wants to pay sadaqa al-fitr for each member of his family, he should obtain consent from the family members. In this case sadaqa al-fitr, which he paid on behalf of his family members, will be valid. If he didn't pay sadaqa al-fitr for his family members, he is not responsible for this. Each adult family member must independently fulfill his obligation or ask the head of the family to pay sadaqa al-fitr in one's own name.
  2. pay out sadaqa al-fitr in a day eid before the Eid Prayer is performed, sunnah. You can also pay it before the day eid, but it is not recommended to postpone payment sadaqa al-fitr until the time after the performance of the holiday prayer. However, if a person fails to pay sadaqa al-fitr in due time, he should do it as soon as possible, then the obligation will be considered fulfilled.
  3. If the child was born after the start of dawn on the day eid, it is not necessary to pay for it sadaqa al-fitr, the same goes for the man who died before the dawn of the day eid.
  4. Sadaqa al-fitr can only be paid to the people to whom it is paid zakat.

holiday prayer

The Second Obligation of the Feast Day is Prayer eid. The following are some of the rules regarding this prayer:

How to make holiday prayer

Prayer eid consists of two rak'ahs with an additional six takbirs- three additional takbira perform at the beginning of the first rak'ah, and three more - before hand in the second rak'ah.

Detailed description of the holiday prayer:

Imam starts the prayer without pronouncing adhan and iqamah. Imam starts the prayer by saying takbir tahrima (« Allahu Akbar» ) . You should raise your hands to your ears, say takbir and make a short pause during which the dua is read sana (subhanak allahumma ...). Having finished reading dignity,imam pronounces three times takbir (« Allahu Akbar» ) . After quietly pronouncing each takbira (« Allahu Akbar» ) you should put your hands down, but after the third takbira they should be folded around the navel, as usual in prayer.

after three imam takbirs is reading Holy Quran which should be listened to silently. Remaining part rak'ah done in the usual way.

After returning to a standing position for the second rak'ah imam starts reading Koran, you should quietly and calmly listen to his reading. When imam finishes reading, he again says three takbira but this time takbirs are pronounced before hand. At every takbire hands should be raised to the ears and after pronouncing: “ Allahu Akbar" lower them down, leaving them in a free position towards the ground. After three have been said takbira,imam says another takbir with which to lean into position hand. During this takbira no need to raise your hands. You just have to bend over hand, saying: "Allahu Akbar" The rest of the prayer is performed as usual.

Khutba: sermon per day eid al-fitr

Khutbah in holiday prayer is Sunnah and is pronounced after the prayer, in contrast to the Friday prayer, where khutbah is an farz and recited before prayer. However, listen khutbu prayers eid- This wajib, that is, it is necessary, therefore, you should calmly and quietly listen to this sermon.

Is an Sunnah for and mother start off khutbu from pronunciation takbira ("Allahu Akbar"): before the first khutboy nine times, and before the second khutboy seven times.

Note: The method of prayer described above eid corresponds to the Hanafi school of Islamic law. Other scholars of Islamic law, such as Imam Shafi'i, give a different way of performing this prayer. They pronounce takbir twelve times before reading Koran, in both rak'ahs. It is also permissible to perform the holiday prayer in this way. If the imam adheres to the Shafi’i madhhab and prays in this way, you can follow him. Both ways of praying eid based on the practice of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

Six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal

Six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal is a noble deed. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

“If someone completed the fast in Ramadan and added six days of fasting to it in the month of Shawwal, he will receive such a savab as if he had fasted all year” .

This hadeeth speaks of a great reward for six days of fasting in this month. Therefore, every Muslim should seize the opportunity to receive such a great reward from Allah. It is more preferable to start fasting on the 2nd of Shawwal and fast until the 7th. But if a person fasts 6 days at other times during the month, there is hope that he will fulfill the requirements of this hadeeth .

Feast of Conversation.

On the eve of the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha holiday, we invite readers to familiarize themselves with the material that reveals the features of the holiday prayer (Salat-ul-Eid or Eid-namaz), which is an important component of this day.

According to the madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa

"Eid is a holiday named in honor of the fact that the mercy of Allah Almighty descends on His servants and that they return every year with joy.

Both "id-namaz were established in Sharia in the first year of the Hijra. From Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) they say that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved to Medina, the inhabitants of this city celebrated two days. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ) asked about it, he was told that during the time of jahiliy they had fun these days.The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the Almighty gave them two days better than the previous ones - this is Idul-fitr (the holiday of breaking the fast) and Idul-adha (the holiday sacrifices).

Eid prayer should be performed by everyone who is obliged to perform Jum'ah prayer. This prayer has the same conditions as the Friday prayer, i.e. two rak'ahs and a khutbah. At the same time, in the holiday prayer, unlike the Friday prayer, the khutba is read after the prayer, and reading it is sunnah, while in the Friday prayer it is fard.

Eid prayer times

The time for Eid prayers comes when the sun rises above the horizon to the height of a spear, which is approximately 30 minutes after sunrise. This is also the start time for Zuha Prayer. The term expires before the midday prayer, i.e. to the zenith.

The procedure for performing "Eid-namaz"

Prayer begins with the pronunciation of the words "Assalatu Jami'a" , which literally means "come to the collective prayer." Everyone stands in rows and makes an intention for the holiday prayer.

After pronouncing the introductory takbir “Allahu Akbar”, they fold their hands on their stomach. They read the dua "Sana" ( “Subẍanaka Allahuma tabaraka ismuka wa ta’ala jadduka wa la ilaha gayruka” ). Then the imam begins to read takbirs, they are also called added. Three takbirs are read, with each of them they raise their hands, as if to enter into prayer, then lower them, but do not fold them. Each takbir is pronounced separately from each other three times, with an interval for the time for which you can say "Allahu Akbar" or read “Subẍanallahi walẍamdulillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar” .

After pronouncing the third added takbir, the hands are folded on the stomach. The imam reads the surah al-Fatiha and preferably the surah A'la aloud, then they bow and bow to the ground and stand for the second rak'ah.

The Imam reads the surah al-Fatiha and preferably the surah al-Hashiya. After reading, they proceed to takbirs, they are pronounced, as in the previous rak'ah, three times. After reading the fourth takbir, they bow to the waist. Then they bow to the ground, read “At-tahiyyat” and complete the prayer with the pronunciation of salam.

After that, they remain seated, the imam reads both khutbas, and then a sermon about the holiday.

Tashriq is the drying of meat. Therefore, the 11th, 12th, 13th days of the month of Zul-Hijja, i.e., those following Eid al-Adha, are called the days of Tashrik (ayama Tashrik). These days, after performing all farz prayers, it is necessary for men and women to read takbir. It is read until the afternoon prayer of the 13th day.

The order of reading the takbir is as follows: “Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, La ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar. Allahu Akbar Walillahil Hamd". It is necessary to read it once after each prayer, and it is sunnah to read it three times.

Desirable activities on both days

These days, everything that is desirable on Friday is desirable: to swim, use a sivak, perfume with incense, put on best clothes go to prayer early. But for the holiday there are also additional sunnats: before going to the festive prayer of breaking the fast, it is advisable to eat something, preferably an odd number of dates. And before the prayer of Eid al-Adha, it is advisable to postpone the meal in order to eat from sacrificial meat.

On the way to the mosque (for prayer) they read takbir (on the day of breaking the fast - to themselves, on Eid al-Adha - aloud). It is advisable to go one way, return - another. Distribute zakatul-fitr before departure for prayer. It is advisable to make ziyarats at the cemetery after the prayer, to distribute alms as much as possible.

Both festive nights are spent in vigils, time is spent in worshiping Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), reading the Koran, performing prayers, remembering Allah.

It is advisable to perform both of these prayers in the field, it is condemned without good reason to perform them in mosques.

Some decisions related to both holidays

If you could not perform a collective holiday prayer (behind the imam), you do not need to compensate for it yourself. If the time for "id-namaz" has passed (that is, the time for lunch prayer has come) and you did not have time for prayer, then it can be performed the next day. Namaz Eid-namaz can be performed in the next three days, if there was a reason, for which he was transferred.

The one who enters the prayer after the imam, having read the takbirs, starts reading the al-Fatiha sura, reads the takbirs, following the imam, if he does not miss the hand "for him. If he does not have time for the hand" behind the imam, he , having entered the prayer, he will go to the hand, "he will read the takbirs there. If he enters the prayer after the imam rises from the hand," he will restore the missed after the completion of the prayer by the imam.

It is disgraceful to perform sunnat prayers before or after Eid-namaz. They can be performed upon arrival home. Khutba begins with reading takbir: the first - 9 times, the second - 7 times. On the days of tashriq, takbir can be continued by adding: “... Allah Akbar Kabiraran Valhamdulili Kasiran wa subhanallah bocratan wa aslya illaha illahu vahdahu sadak wa“ Dahu voda ”Abdahu wa wa gazamal ahdaha ilya llahu ilhu ilhu ilhu ilhhuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Allahumma sally "ala sayyidina Muhammadin wa" ala ali Muhammadin wa "ala askhabi Muhammadin wa" ala azwaji Muhammadin wa sallim taslima".

Zainula Gamzatov

According to the madhhab of Imam ash-Shafi'i

The festive prayer has two rak'ahs, and the intention to perform it is done as follows: "I INTEND TO MAKE THE FESTIVE SUNNAH Prayer IN TWO RAKA'ATS IN THE NAME OF ALLAH." If the prayer is read collectively (in the jamaat), then add "FOLLOWING THE IMAM".

After pronouncing the takbir of entering the prayer "Alla hu akbar" it is advisable to read the “Wajjahtu” prayer, then it is advisable to raise your hands seven times as when entering prayer and say the takbir “Allahu Akbar”. After the first six takbirs, a prayer is read . And after the seventh "Allahu Akbar" they begin to read the sura "al-Fatiha". (If the collective prayer is first read aloud by the imam, and then the mothers read it). After the surah al-Fatiha, it is advisable to read the surah al-Kahf or the surah al-A'la.

Then they bow down and bow to the ground and stand on the second rak'ah, saying "Allahu Akbar". After that, the takbir is read five times. After the first four takbirs, a prayer is read “Subẍanallahi wal-ẍamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar” . And after the fifth "Allahu Akbar" they begin to read the sura "al-Fatiha". (If the collective prayer is first read aloud by the imam, and then the mothers read it). After that, it is advisable to read the sura "al-Qamar" or "al-Gashiya".

If prayer is performed collectively, then two khutbas should be read after it with the same conditions that should be observed with khutbs of Friday prayer.

And since the Eid prayer happens once a year, a Muslim should not neglect it, and if he missed it for a good reason, it is advisable for him to make up for it.

Audio version of this article:

The theologians of the Hanafi madhhab were more inclined to believe that the holiday prayer, held twice a year, is regarded as a “wajib” for adults in terms of priority, reasonable men. For women, children, travelers and the physically infirm, this prayer is not obligatory. And the Shafi'i theologians regarded it as "Sunna-muakkyada". In practical terms, it is, in general, one and the same. According to the scientists of the Hanafi madhhab, this prayer is performed only collectively. Alone, this group of scholars believed, the holiday prayer is not performed, since it does not belong to the obligatory fard prayers. However, the theologians of the Shafi’i madhhab allowed the completion (qada’) of the holiday prayer for those who were late for it. This can be done at any time, but it is better - on the same day. They believed, unlike the Hanafi theologians, that this prayer could be performed by one person.

Order of execution

The time for its completion comes 20-40 minutes after sunrise and ends with the approach of the sun to the zenith (20-40 minutes before the time of the daily Zuhr prayer). Azan and iqamah are not read in the holiday prayer. To call believers to prayer, the words “as-salatu jami'a” can be uttered:

الصَّلاَةُ جَامِعَةٌ

Two rak'ahs of holiday prayer

Briefly

First rak'ah

1) intention; 2) du‘a “as-Sana”; 3) three takbirs with raising hands and freely lowering them along the body; 4) reading suras "al-Fatiha" and "al-A'la";

Second rak'ah

1) reading the sura "al-Fatiha" and any short sura; 2) three takbirs with a show of hands, and with the fourth takbir, the worshipers lower themselves to the waist bow. The subsequent actions are the same as in the usual two-rak'ah prayer. Then the imam conducts a festive sermon (khutba), consisting of two parts. Following the sermon, the traditional final reading of the Holy Quran is possible, after which the parishioners can congratulate each other on the holiday being celebrated.

in detail

First rak'ah

1) Niyat (intention): "I intend to perform two rak'yats of the holiday prayer, doing this sincerely for the Almighty."

Then the men, raising their hands to the level of the ears so that the thumbs touch the lobes, and the women to the level of the shoulders, following the imam pronounce takbir: "Allahu akbar" ("God above all"). At the same time, it is advisable for men to separate their fingers, and for women to close them. After that, the men put their hands on the stomach just below the navel, putting their right hand on the left, clasping the little finger and thumb right hand left wrist. Women lower their hands to their chests, placing the right hand on the left wrist. The gaze of each person praying should be directed to the place where he will lower his face during the prostration (as-sajda).

2) Immediately after that, everyone reads to himself dua "as-Sana"("Praise to the Almighty"):

Transliteration: “Subhaanakyal-laahumma va bihamdik, va tabaarakyasmuk, va ta’alaya jadduk, valyaya ilyahe gairuk.”

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ بِحَمْدِكَ وَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَ تـَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

The given du‘a is more often used by representatives of the Hanafi madhhab. Shafiites use the following prayer: Transliteration: “Wadjahtu vajhiya lil-lyazii fatoras-samaavaati val-ard, haniifam-muslima, va maa ana minal-mushrikiin, inna salayatii va nusukii va mahyaya va mamamatii lil-lyahi rabbil-'aalamimin, laya shariikya lyakh, wa bi zaalika die va ana minal muslimeen".

وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَ مَا أَنَا مِنَ الْـمُشْرِكِينَ .

إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيَاىَ وَ مَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ .

وَ بِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَ أَنَا مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ .

3) Three takbirs with a show of hands.

After reading "as-San", the imam, and after him all the worshipers, pronounce three takbirs(“Allahu Akbar”) with the raising of the hands at each takbir, doing this in the same way as at the beginning of the prayer-prayer. After each takbir, the arms freely fall along the torso. Between takbirs, the imam makes slight pauses. At the end of the third takbir, the hands return to their original position. The Imam and all the worshipers continue the prayer with the words “a‘uuzu bil-layahi minash-shaytooni rrajiim, bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim” (to himself).

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

Translation: “I am moving away from the accursed Satan, approaching the Almighty, and I begin in the name of the Merciful Allah, whose mercy is boundless and eternal.”

4) Reading the suras of the Qur'an.

Then the imam reads the sura "al-Fatiha" aloud: Transliteration: “Al-hamdu lil-lyahi rabbil-‘alamimin. Ar-rahmaani rrahim. Yaumid-diin yawyaliki. Iyayakya na'du wa iyayakya nasta'iin. Ikhdina ssyraatol-mustakyym. Syraatol-lyaziyna an'amta ‘alaihim, gairil-magduubi ‘alaihim wa lad-doolliin. Aamiin.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ .

اَلرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ .

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ .

إِيَّاكَ نَعْـبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ .

اِهْدِناَ الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ .

صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيـْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لاَ الضَّآلِّينَ .

آمِين .

After the sura "al-Fatiha" (both among the Hanafis and the Shafiites) in the first rak'ah is desirable (only desirable) reading Surah al-A'la(it is also read aloud by the imam). Transliteration: "Sabbihisma rabbikal-a'la. Allusions of halyaka fasavva. Wallazii kaddar fa hede. Wallazii akhrajal-mar'a. Faja'alahu gusaaen ahwa. Sanukriukya fa laya tanse. Ilya maa sheallaah.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّى

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَى

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَى

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَى

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَى

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَى

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَى

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَى

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَى

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَى

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَى

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّى

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى

إِنَّ هَذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى

Then the imam, together with the believers standing behind him, with the words "Allahu Akbar" in the usual manner makes a bow and earth bow.

Second rak'ah

1) Reading suras.

In the second rak'yaat, "as-Sana" and "a'uzu bil-lyakhi minash-shaytoni rrajim" are not read. The Imam says to himself "bismil-lyahi rrahmani rrahim", reads aloud the surah "al-Fatiha", and then a short surah, for example "al-Ihlyas": Transliteration: “Kul huva llaahu ahad. Allahu ssomad. Lam yalid wa lam yulad. Wa lam yakul-lyahu kufuvan ahad.”

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ . اَللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ . لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يوُلَدْ . وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ .

2) Three takbirs with a show of hands.

After that, before going to the waist bow, the imam, and after him all the worshipers, say three takbirs (“Allahu Akbar”) with a raise of the hands at each takbir, similar to the first rak'yah. After each takbir, the arms freely fall along the torso. Between takbirs, the imam makes slight pauses. At the end of the third takbir, the imam pronounces the fourth takbir and goes down with the worshipers on a bow. Then everything is done in the same way as when performing the first rak'ah. When the imam, and after him the worshipers rise from the second prostration of the second rak'yaat, they sit on their left foot and read tashahhud. Hanafi (putting hands loosely on hips, without closing fingers): Transliteration: “At-tahiyayatu lil-lyayahi was-solavaatu wat-toyibaatu, As-salayama ‘alaikya ayyuhan-nabiyu wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakyatukh, As-salayamu ‘alayanaa wa 'alaya 'ibaadil-lyahi ssoolihiin, Ashkhadu allaya ilyayahe illa llaahu wa ashkhadu anna muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuuulukh'.

اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَ الصَّلَوَاتُ وَ الطَّيِّباَتُ

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيـُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْناَ وَ عَلىَ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ

While pronouncing the words “la ilyakhe”, the index finger of the right hand should be raised up, and when the words “illa llaahu” - lowered. Shafiites (positioning the left hand freely, without separating the fingers, but clenching the right hand into a fist and releasing the thumb and forefinger, while the thumb in a bent position adjoins the hand) say: , As-salayama 'alayka ayyuhan-nabiyu wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakyatuh, As-salayama 'alayanaa wa 'alaya 'ibaadil-lyahi ssoolihiin, Ashkhadu allaya ilyayahe illa llaahu wa ashhadu anna muhammadan rasuulul-laah.

اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّـيِّـبَاتُ لِلَّهِ ،

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيـُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتـُهُ ،

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْـنَا وَ عَلىَ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ ،

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ .

During the pronunciation of the words “illa llaahu”, the index finger of the right hand is raised up without additional movements (while the gaze of the prayer is drawn to this finger) and lowered. After reading the tashahhud, the worshipers, without changing their position, pronounce salavat: Transliteration: “Allaahumma solli 'alaya sayyidinaa muhammadin wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa muhammad, Kama sollyayta 'alaya sayidinaa ibraahiima wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraakhiim, Wa baarik wa'madina 'alaya sayidina Alyaya eeli sayidinaa muhammad, Kamaa baarakte 'alaya sayidinaa ibraahiima wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraahiima fil-'alamimin, innekya hamidun majiid.

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ

كَماَ صَلَّيْتَ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

وَ باَرِكْ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ

كَماَ باَرَكْتَ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعاَلَمِينَ

إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

After reading the salavat, it is advisable to turn to the Lord with a prayer (du‘a). The theologians of the Hanafi madhhab argue that in this case, only the form of prayer that is mentioned in the Holy Quran or in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) can be used as a du‘a. Another part of Islamic theologians allows the use of any form of du'a. At the same time, the opinion of scholars is unanimous that the text of the du'a used in prayer should only be in Arabic. After that, the imam, and after him the rest of those praying with the words of greeting "as-salayama 'alaykum va rahmatul-laah" ("peace and blessings of the Almighty") turn their heads first to the right side, looking at their shoulder, and then, repeating the words greetings, - to the left. This concludes the two rak'yats of the holiday prayer. 1. Continuing to sit, it is advisable to read the following (to yourself): "Astaghfirullaa, astagfirullaa, astagfirullaa."

أَسْـتَـغـْفِرُ اللَّه أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّه أَسْـتَـغـْفِرُ اللَّهَ

2. Raising their hands to chest level, the worshipers say (to themselves): “Allaahumma ente salayam wa minkya salayam, tabaarakte yaa zal-jalyali wal-ikraam. Allahumma a‘inni ‘ala zikrikya wa shukrikya wa husni ‘ibaadatik.

اَللَّهُمَّ أَنـْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ

تَـبَارَكْتَ ياَ ذَا الْجَـلاَلِ وَ الإِكْرَامِ

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنيِّ عَلىَ ذِكْرِكَ وَ شُكْرِكَ وَ حُسْنِ عِباَدَتـِكَ

Then they lower their hands, running their palms over their faces. It should be noted that during the performance of two rak'yaats of the holiday prayer, those praying, standing behind the imam, say everything to themselves, that is, inaudibly, in a whisper.

3) Holiday sermons.

First sermon The Imam goes up to the minbar and recites nine takbirs one after the other. The most common is the following form of festive takbir: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Laya Ilyakhe Illal-Lah, Wal-Lahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wal Lil-Lakhil-Khamd.”

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ . لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ . اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ

Translation: “Allah is above all, Allah is above all; there is no god but Him. Allah is above all, Allah is above all, and only to Him is true praise. The sermon begins with words of praise to the Almighty and a request for a blessing for the Prophet Muhammad. In the sermon of the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, the imam focuses the attention of believers on the importance of obligatory almsgiving at the end of the fast - zakatul-fitr, and also briefly on what is relevant for believers, citing verses of the Holy Quran and hadiths. During a sermon on Eid al-Adha, it is advisable for the preacher to talk about what is important when making a sacrifice, as well as about additional takbirs that will be pronounced by believers in the next few days. At the end of the first sermon, the imam-khatib sits on the minbar (if he wishes), and the worshipers can pray to the Almighty Creator, reading the dua prayer. Second sermon The Imam recites seven takbirs one after the other. The second sermon is shorter than the first and is edifying. This concludes the festive ceremony. The Holy Quran is usually read, then the imam pronounces a common prayer-du‘a, at the end of which everyone stands up, greeting and congratulating each other.

Links to primary theological sources and commentary: Eid prayer is performed in mosques twice a year (on lunar calendar ) - on the holiday of Eid al-Fitr and on the holiday of Eid al-Adha. See: Al-Kyasani. Badai‘u as-sonai‘ fi tartibi ash-sharai‘ [Rare arts in ordering legislation]. In 7 vols. Beirut: al-Fikr, 1996, vol. 1, p. 408; al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-mukhtaj [Enriching the needy]. In 6 volumes. Egypt: al-Maktaba at-tavfiqiya, [b. G.]. T. 1. P. 563. The Hanafites speak of the need for a quorum for this prayer, just as it is required for Friday prayers - three adult, reasonable and observant Muslim men. For details see: Islamic Law 1-2. M.: 2011. S. 280, 281. See: Al-Kyasani. Badai‘u as-sonai‘ fi tartibi ash-sharai‘. In 7 vols. T. 1. S. 414. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1391, 1392. The festive prayer consists of only two rak'yaats performed together with the imam. See below for some details regarding the requirements of the Shafi'i madhhab. The Imam adds to what has been said that he performs the prayer with the people standing behind him. And the parishioners must stipulate that they are praying with the imam. This sequence of movements is accepted in the Hanafi madhhab. According to the ritual of the Shafi'i madhhab, takbir is pronounced simultaneously with the raising of hands (moreover, men, like women, raise their hands to shoulder level). See, for example: Ash-Shavkyani M. Neyl al-avtar. In 8 vols. T. 2. S. 186, 187. Both options are possible. See: Al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-Muhtaj. In 6 vols. Vol. 1. S. 300. According to the Shafi'i madhhab, it is advisable to lower the hands on the upper abdomen between the chest and the navel in the region of the heart so that the palm of the right hand lies on the elbow or between the elbow and the wrist of the left hand. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 873. If the imam follows the religious practice of the Sunnah of the Prophet with the explanations of the scientists of the Shafi'i madhhab, then in the first rak'yah he pronounces seven takbirs before reading the al-Fatiha sura, and in the second - five, also before Surah al-Fatiha. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1400; al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-mukhtaj. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 564. Shafi'i theologians believed that in the intervals between these takbirs, it is necessary to lower the hands to their original position, that is, to the upper abdomen between the chest and the navel in the region of the heart. Also, the pauses between takbirs are filled with reading to oneself various forms of praise of the Almighty, however, the following formula is the best: “subhaanal-la, wal-hamdu lil-la, va laya ilyayahe illal-lahu wal-lahu akbar.” See: Al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-Muhtaj. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 564. These additional takbirs, according to all scholars, do not belong to the main part of the holiday prayer. If they are suddenly forgotten by the imam, then there is no need to do an additional prostration (sajdatus-sahv). See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1400. Regarding the number of takbirs, Islamic theologians had several opinions, each of which is correct and correct to a certain extent from the point of view of the Sunnah. See: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In vol. 11, T. 2. S. 1395. The Shafi'i Imam, unlike the Hanafi Imam, pronounces the words “bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim” before the al-Fatiha surah in both rak'yats aloud. According to Muslim commentators, the word "amin" means "God, answer my prayer" or "So be it." When performing a holiday prayer (as in three of the five obligatory ones, as well as on Friday), according to the Hanafi madhhab, when the imam completes the reading of the al-Fatiha sura, “amin” is pronounced by everyone to himself, and according to the Shafiite madhhab - aloud. See: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1396, 1401. See the translation of the sura. The imam pronounces all takbirs aloud. According to the Shafi'i madhhab, the prayer, saying "Allahu Akbar", raises his hands to shoulder level, and then makes a bow from the waist. Returning to his previous position, he also raises his hands to shoulder level, pronouncing "sami'a llaahu li men hamideh." Among the Shafiites, it is desirable to read to yourself at the beginning of each rak'yaat "a'uzu bil-lyahi minash-shaytoni rrajim." The Shafi'i Imam, unlike the Hanafi Imam, pronounces the words "bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim" before the surah "al-Fatiha" in both rak'yaats aloud. If the imam follows the Shafi'i madhhab, then in the first rak'ah he pronounces seven takbirs before reading the al-Fatiha surah, as previously agreed, and in the second - five, also before the al-Fatiha surah. Precisely before the Surah al-Fatiha and before the Bismil-Lehi Rrahmani Rrahim. See: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1400; al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-mukhtaj. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 564. Shafi'i theologians believed that in the intervals between these takbirs, it is necessary to lower the hands to their original position, that is, to the upper abdomen between the chest and the navel in the region of the heart. The parishioners in all movements of the prayer-prayer do not precede the imam, but strictly repeat after him. Shafiites usually sit down before the final greeting, tucking the foot of their left foot under the right. Both positions are correct from the point of view of the Sunnah, and both are only desirable. Making rhythmic movements (twitching) with the index finger while reading tashahhud or at the end of it is not correct. According to the Sunnah, taking into account the comments of scholars, it is more correct not to make unnecessary movements with the index finger. The overwhelming majority of Islamic theologians adhered to this opinion. In addition, some jurists believed that excessive movement of the index finger could break the prayer, make it invalid. See: Al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy. Mugni al-muhtaj [Enriching the needy]. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 334. Detailed theological material on this issue see. With this action, a Muslim greets two angels who are on his shoulders and record all good deeds and sins. The supposed meaning of this action, stipulated by Muslim scholars, is as follows: the vision of a good omen (tafaul) is that the brushes raised to heaven with a prayer are overflowing with Divine grace, goodness. At the end of the dua prayer, the believer wipes his face with this grace. In Muslim theological writings, there are many arguments in favor of the fact that this action has a basis in the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Read more about this in the material "Wiping the face after a supplication-du'a" in my book "Everyone will see Hell." Unlike the Friday sermon, during the festive sermon, the imam-preacher, having climbed the minbar, does not sit down, but always stands. This was emphasized by Hanafi theologians. The rest of the Islamic scholars assumed that the imam could sit down in order to rest. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1406. It is sunnah for the imam to pronounce these takbirs. It is advisable for parishioners listening to him to speak them to themselves. This is what the Hanafi theologians say. Scholars of the Shafi'i madhhab believe that those present at the festive sermon do not repeat takbirs after the imam, but only listen to him. See: Al-Kyasani. Badai‘u as-sonai‘ fi tartibi ash-sharai‘. In 7 vols. T. 1. S. 410; al-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1419.
