Sunnah acts for Eid al-Adha

As with any important religious occasion, Muslims follow the example (sunnah) of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and practice various sunnah acts on Eid al-Adha.

What are the Sunnah acts for Eid al-Adha?

Here’s everything you need to do on Eid al-Adha:

  • Make ghusl (take a shower or bath)
  • Eat breakfast – the Prophet (PBUH) ate dates before going out to prayer
  • Wear the best clothes you have
  • Apply fragrance/perfume
  • Say the general takbeerat after Fajr prayer
  • Walk to the mosque for Eid prayer – using a different route on the way back
  • Perform Eid prayer in congregation
  • Connect with friends and family
  • Exchange gifts

Make sure you give your qurbani before Eid prayer in order to not miss out!
