Asalam alykum warahumatu llahi wabarakatuh.
*Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated* with zeal and passion around the world. Muslims celebrate Eid by wearing new clothes, cooking delicious meals, and meeting their friends and relatives.
1️⃣ *Recitation of Takbeer*
Eid is started with celebrations of reciting Takbeer which we should keep reciting continuously starting from Maghrib until the next morning, when the Imam comes out for the ‘Eid prayers, *you should be saying it all the time, when you’re cooking, working, driving*… Keep saying it as much as you can. Thus;
“Allah Akbar ×3, Laa ilaha illa Allah Allahu Alkabr, Allahu Akbar walillahi Alhamudu."
*Meaning*
Allah is Most Great × 3, there is no god except Allah, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, and all praise be to Allah”
2️⃣ *Recitation of the Quran*. It has immense importance and is encouraged by Allah . it helps us understand Allah (SWT)’s message and earn His blessings.
