On Eid al-Adha, Muslims, like on any other important religious occasion, follow the example (Sunnah) of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and perform various Sunnah acts.
What are the Sunnah acts for Eid al-Adha?
Here’s everything you need to know about Eid al-Adha:
- Make ghusl (take a shower or bath)
- Eat breakfast – the Prophet (SAW) would eat dates before going out to pray.
- Wear the best clothes you have
- Apply fragrance/perfume
- Say general takbeerat after the Fajr prayer
- Walk to the mosque for Eid prayer – using a different route on the way back.
- Perform Eid prayer in congregation (where safe to do so and socially distanced)
- Connect with friends and family (where safe to do so in person/virtually)
- Exchange gifts
Make sure to perform your Qurbani before the Eid prayer to avoid missing out!
