Similarly, in the second Raka’ath, 5 extra Takbeers will be pronounced, apart from the Takbeer pronounced when standing up from Sujood. Thereafter one should perform 7 Takbeers by raising the hands and folding them while pronouncing Allahu Akbar 7 times, similar to the initial Takbeer.Other similar Duas that are reported in the Ahadith could also be recited.


It is a Sunnah to recite the ‘Wajjahthu’ Dua. Initially, one should make the intention of performing the two Raka’aths of the Eid prayer, then pronounce the Takbeer and fold his hands.

Although it is permissible to perform this prayer individually, it is recommended to perform it with Jama’ath (congregation).
