- The time for this prayer is between sunrise and Zuhr. Eid prayers are auspicious, which is why this prayer is performed on the auspicious tenth day of Dhu al-Hijja.
- It is performed in congregation; the first unit of the prayer includes seven takbeers, followed by five takbeers in the second unit. Also known as Salat al-Eid al-Adha or Salat Eid al-Adha, this prayer is concluded by a sermon from the Imam, the religious leader.

How to Do the Eid Al Adha Prayer?
- Perform the prayer at a mosque or an open space set aside for Eid prayers.
- Arrive early to ensure that you are on time and to give any extra optional prayers (Sunnah) that you may choose.
- The Eid al-Adha prayer time comprises two components (Rak'ahs).
- After reciting "Allahu Akbar" to begin, recite Surah Al-Fatiha, followed by a Surah of your choice.
- Add six more Takbirs (saying "Allahu Akbar") after the first Takbir in the Rak'ah.
- After reading Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah, say "Allahu Akbar" to complete the second Ruku.
- During the second Rak'ah, after the first Takbir, add five more.
- End the prayer with Tasleem (salutation to the right and left).
- Following the prayer, it is traditional to listen to the Imam's sermon (khutbah).
- Remember to praise Allah and pray for the well-being of your family and the whole Ummah.
How to do Eid al-Adha Prayer at Home?
- Just like there is an Imam (religious leader) in the mosque, your Bakra Eid Namaz at home should also have an adult male playing the part of the Imam. If you are performing the prayer all by yourself, you should be the Imam as well as the follower.
- The first unit of the prayer (also known as rak’ah) includes seven takbeers. Raise your hands and softly say 'subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wala ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar’ when you hear a takbeer from the Imam. On the other hand, you should be sitting with folded arms and listening quietly when the Imam recites Surah Al-Fatihah and another surah.
- Remember to bow in the ruckus pose when you hear ‘Allahu Akbar’ from the Imam. You must stand tall and recite ‘Rabbana lakal Hamd’ when you hear ‘Sami Allahu liman Hamidah’ from the Imam. To conclude a sujud, the Imam calls out ‘Allahu Akbar,’ and you must rise when hearing ‘Allahu Akbar’ after the completion of two sujoods. This signifies the conclusion of the first rak’ah.
- With five takbeers in the second rak’ah, do not forget to say ‘Subhanallah, alhamdulillah, wala ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar’ while following the Imam’s recitations and actions between the takbeers.
- Sit for Tashshahud after the two Sujood and listen to the Imam saying, ‘Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah,’ while he turns his head towards his right shoulder and then to the left. Just follow the Imam and conclude your prayer the right way.
