Eid Prayers to Thank Allah
The month of Ramadan is that in which the Quraan was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction; therefore whoever of you is present in the month, he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire for you difficulty, and (He desires) that you should complete the number and that you should exalt the greatness of Allah for His having guided you and that you may give THANKS. (Al_Quraan_002.185)
The prayers of the two 'ids was prescribed in the first year after the migration. It is a sunnah muakkadah as the Prophet (saw) always performed these prayers and he ordered the men and women to go out to attend them.
Remember: There is NO Duhr Salaat if you are offering the Friday Salaat, so skip the Duhr Salaat. the Friday (Jumaa) Salaat consists of the Friday (Jumaa) Speech (Khutba), which is already included in the Eid Prayers with much bigger gathering and entire town may join together, so this is count as the Friday (Jumaa) Salaat, so it is optional to offer an additional the Friday (Juma ) Salaat on the Eid Day, Duhr Salaat will be enough instead of the Friday Salaat. BUT if you are offering in the Masjid, then you must have to offer the Friday (Juma) Salaat, specially if the Masjid is near to your place and it is reachable, where you often go for the Friday (Juma) Salaat, You Should go for the Friday (Juma) Salaat.
O ye (Men and Women) who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your trading (business). That is better for you (Men and Women) if ye (Men and Women) did but know. And when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye (Men and Women) may be successful. (Al_Quraan_062.009-010)
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.479 Narrated byAbu Ubai
Then I witnessed the 'Id with 'Uthman bin 'Affan, and that was on a Friday. He offered the prayer before the sermon, saying, "O people! Today you have two 'Ida (festivals) together, so whoever of those who live at Al-'Awali ( suburbs) would like to wait for the Jumua prayer, he may wait, and whoever would like to return (home) is granted my permission to do so." Then I witnessed (the 'Ida) with 'Ali bin Abi Talib, and he too offered the 'Id prayer before the sermon and then delivered the sermon before the people and said, "Allah's Apostle has forbidden you to eat the meat of your sacrifices for more than three days."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadeeth 1398 Narrated byUbayd ibn as-Sabbaq ; Abdullah ibn Abbas Ubayd told in mursal form that Allah`s Messenger (peace be upon him) said one Friday, "Company of Muslims, this is a day which Allah has appointed as a festival, so bathe, and if anyone has perfume it does him no harm to apply some of it; and you should use the tooth-stick." Malik transmitted it. Ibn Majah transmitted it from him, and it is fully connected form Ibn Abbas.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1065 Narrated byZayd ibn Arqam
Ilyas ibn AbuRamlah ash-Shami said: I witnessed Mu'awiyah ibn AbuSufyan asking Zayd ibn Arqam: Did you offer along with the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) the Friday and 'Id prayers synchronized on the same day? He said: Yes. He asked: How did he do? He replied: He offered the 'Id prayer, then granted concession to offer the Friday prayer, and said: If anyone wants to offer it, he may offer.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1066 Narrated byAbdullah ibn Abbas
Ata' ibn AbuRabah said: Ibn az-Zubayr led us in the 'Id prayer on Friday early in the morning. When we went to offer the Friday, he did not come out to us. So we prayed ourselves alone. At that time Ibn Abbas was present in at-Ta'if. When he came to us, we mentioned this (incident) to him. He said: He followed the sunnah.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1068 Narrated byAbuHurayrah
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Two festivals ('Id and Friday) have synchronized on this day. If anyone does not want to offer the Friday prayer, the 'Id prayer is sufficient for him. But we shall offer the Friday prayer.
Here is what the Prophet use to do on the day of Eid (Sunnah), May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him:
Ø To rise early in the morning.
Ø Take a full bath.
Ø Clean the teeth.
Ø Wear the best cloths that he had.
Ø Wear perfume.
Ø To eat something sweet like dates before leaving home on Eid-ul-Fitr.
Ø For Eid-ul-Adha, he used to eat after come home from the Eid Prayer.
Ø Go to the Eid prayer location very early. (The Prophet use to offer Eid prayer in the central location, that is not to offer it in a Masjid of a locality without any legitimate excuse).
Ø The Prophet used to go to the Eid Prayer location by one route and will return through another route.
Ø He used to go for Eid on foot.
Ø He used to chant slowly on Eid-ul-Fitr and little loudly on Eid-ul-Adha the way to the Eid prayer location the following words: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Laa ilaaha illallahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wa lillahil Hamd." (Translation: Allah is the greatest, He is the greatest. There is no god except Allah. He is the greatest. All praises and thanks are for Him)
Ø For Eid-ul-Fitr, the Prophet used to give Sadqa-e-Fitr (zakatul fitr) before the Eid day. But if you have not done so please give now before the Eid. (Giving just before Eid is fine, but it is against the spirit and the purpose of it. Ask your local Masjid about how much and where to pray)
-------------------
Method of Eid prayers:
Eid prayer consists of two units of prayer (Rakas) with six Takbeers (the raising of the hands while saying Allahu Akbar [God is the Greatest]) in congregation, followed by the Khutba (sermon) of Eid.
Ø Follow the Imam by raising both hands up to the ears, say Allahu Akbar, this is the first Takbeer to enter in the Salaat.
Ø Then fold your hands in the front and recite the 'Sanaa', ("subhaanakallahumma"). Till the end and then say Allahu Akbar six times, following your imam, each time raising both hands up to the ears and fold it again. After each takbeer there is going to be a slight pause in which Subhanallah may be recited thrice.
Ø After the sixth Takbeer and listen to the imam reciting Aoozubillah, Bismillah, Surah Fateha and some other Surah and then perform Ruku (bowing) as Imam says Allahu Akbar and then go to Sajdah (prostration) as usual following your Imam's Takbeer.
Ø In the second Raka, the Imam will first recite Surah Fateha and some other Surah. Then he will say six Takbeers after it. In all of these six Takbeers hands will be folded. And then go into the Ruku just after the sixth takbeer.
Ø Listening to the Khutbah after the Eid Salaat is Waajib (obligatory).

Duaa on Eid-ul-Fitr:
Ø O Allah! Accept our broken, weak efforts in this Auspicious month of Ramadaan. O Allah! Accept our fasting, ruku, sujood, zikr, Quraan tilaawah, taraweeh and all our ibaadahs in this month of Ramadaan. It is only through Your Mercy that we were able to pass through this month and yet we have not fulfilled it's right. We have erred and have not taken the maximum benefit from the auspiciousness of this month. O Most Merciful of those who show Mercy! We beg You to accept us in our weaknesses and shower us the opportunity to start afresh with renewed Emaan, Ikhlaas and taqwa. We leave this month with sadness, but only to beg of You to afford us the opportunity to see the next Ramadaan with more zeal to become conscious of You, to be become more obedient to You and to attain Your eternal Pleasure. Ameen.
