AAMAL OF EID UL FITR DAY The devotional acts on the 'Id al-Fitr Day, the first of Shawwal, are as follows:
Instructions
First: It is recommended to say the supplicatory prayer that has been mentioned within the acts of the 'ld al-Fitr Night to be said after the obligatory prayers and that begins with (Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar) after the Fajr Prayer and after the
Instructions
'ld al-Fitr Prayer.
Instructions
Second: It is recommended to say, after the Fajr Prayer, the supplicatory prayer, which begins with the following statement:
اَللَّهُمّ اِنَّى تَوَجَهْتُ اِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدِ اِمَامِى ...
Oh God, I turn to You with Muhammad in front of me...
Instructions
This supplicatory prayer has been mentioned by Sayyid Ibn
Instructions
Tawus. However, Shaykh al-Tusi has mentioned that this
Instructions
prayer is said after the 'Id al-Fitr Prayer (Salat al-'ld).
Instructions
Third: It is obligatory to defray Zakat al-Fitrah as a single sa'
Instructions
(a measure) for each person before the time of the 'Id al-Fitr
Instructions
Prayer with details shown in books of Muslim jurisprudence.
Instructions
It is worth mentioning that Zakat al-Fitrah is one of the
Instructions
confirmed obligations, since the acceptance of one's fasting
Instructions
is dependent upon the defrayment of this alms. It is also
Instructions
security against death up to the next year. In the following
Instructions
verses of the Holy Qur'an, Almighty Allah has mentioned
Instructions
Zakat before the prayers:
Instructions
"He indeed shall be successful who pays Zakat, magnifies
Instructions
the name of his Lord, and prays. 87/14-15"
Instructions
Fourth: It is recommended to bathe oneself on this day. It is
Instructions
more preferable to bathe oneself in a river, if possible. In the
Instructions
word of Shaykh al-Tusi, the time of bathing is the period
Instructions
between dawn (fajr) and the 'ld al-Fitr Prayer. According to a
Instructions
Hadith, when you want to bathe yourself (in a river), try to be
Instructions
under shadow or under a wall. When you intend to begin the
Instructions
bathing, you may say the following:
اَللَهُمَّ اِيْمَانًا بِكَ
Oh God, we have faith in you
وَ تَصْدِيْقًا بِكِتَابِكَ
And in accordance with your book
وَ اتَّبَاعَ سُنَّةٍ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ
And follow the Sunnah of your Prophet Muhammad
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ الِهِ
May God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family
Instructions
You may then mention the Name of Almighty Allah and bathe
Instructions
After accomplishment, you may say the following:
اَللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوْبِي
Oh God, make it an atonement for my sins
وَ طَهَرْ دِيْنِيَّ
And purify my religion
اَللَّهُمَّ اَذْهِبْ عَنَّيْ الدَّنَسَ-
Oh God, remove from me filth -
Instructions
Fifth: It is recommended to put on the best clothes, apply
Instructions
perfumes, and offer the prayer in an open place, other than
Instructions
Holy Makkah.
Instructions
Sixth: It is recommended to eat something, as a breaking of
Instructions
the fast, before the 'ld al-Fitr Prayer. It is preferable to break
Instructions
the fast with some dates or a piece of candy. Shaykh al-
Instructions
Mufid has mentioned that it is advisable to swallow a piece
Instructions
of the soil of Imam al-Husayn's tomb, for it is remedy for all
Instructions
Seventh: It is recommended not to leave one's house for
Instructions
joining the congregational 'ld al-Fitr Prayer before sunrise. It
Instructions
is also recommended to say the supplicatory prayers that
Instructions
have been mentioned by Sayyid Ibn Tawus in Iqbal al-A'mal.
Instructions
Among these supplicatory prayers is the one that Abu-
Instructions
Hamzah al-Thumali has reported Imam Muhammad al-Baqir
Instructions
(a.s.) as saying: Whey you ready yourself for joining the
Instructions
congregational Friday Prayers and the 'ld Prayers, you may
Instructions
say the following supplicatory prayer:
اَللَهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيَّآَ فِيْ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ
Oh God, who prepared us on this day
اَوْ تَعَبَّا أَوْ اَعَدَّ وَ اسْتَعَدَّ
Or tired or prepared and prepared
لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوْقٍ
To return to a created being
رَجَآءَ رِفْدِهِ وَ نَوَافِلِهِ
Hope for His sustenance and voluntary prayers
وَ فَوَاضِلِهِ وَ عَطَايَاهُ
Or he abstains from your support
فَإِنَّ اِلَيْكَ يَا سَيَّدِيْ تَهْيِئَتِي وَ تَعْبِئَتِيْ
For, O my Lord, I am preparing and mobilizing me.
وَ إِغْدَادِيْ وَ اسْتِعْدَادِيْ
And my lunch and my preparation
رَجَاءَ رِفْدِكَ وَ جَوَائِزِكَ
Hope for your support and rewards
نَوَافِلِكَ وَ فَوَاضِلِد
We will perform your voluntary prayers and be persistent
وَ فَضَائِلِكَ وَ عَطَايَاكَ
And your virtues and your gifts
وَ قَدْ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى عِيْدٍ مِنْ اَعْيَادٍ أُمَّةٍ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ
And I have come to one of the festivals of the nation of your Prophet Muhammad.
صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى الِهِ
May God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family
وَ لَمْ آَفِذْ اِلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ بِعَمَلِ صَالِحِ اَثِقُ بِهِ قَدَّمْتُهُ
And I have not done to you today a good deed which I have confidence in.
وَ لَا تَوَجِّهْتُ بِمَخْلُوْقٍ اَمَلْتُهُ
And do not direct yourself to a created being that you have given your hope to.
وَ لَكِنْ اَتَيْثُكَ خَاضِعًا
But I will come to you submissively
مُقِرًّا بِذُنُوْبِي وَ إِسَآءَتِي إِلَى نَفْسِيْ
Confessing my sins and my offense against myself
فَيَا عَظِيْمُ يَا عَظِيْمُ يَا عَظِيْمُ
So great, oh great, oh great
اِغْفِرْ لِيَ الْعَظِيمَ مِنْ ذُنُوْبِيْ
Forgive me my great sins
فَاِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذِّنُوْبَ الْعِظَامَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ
For no one forgives major sins except you.
يَا لَا اِلْهَ اِلَّا آَنْتَ
There is no god but You
يَآ اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ-
O Most Merciful of the merciful -
